Most of the pics are more of these 'models' rather than jeep.

"This showroom-fresh Willy’s Beach Car was the center piece of Johnson Jeep & Willy’s in Riverside, California, for many years. The speedometer shows 200 miles since it has been restored.

From the looks of the restoration, it was done by the Jeep Company many years ago, probably in the seventies.
It needed a new parking break cable when I bought it. I’ve installed "Quick Steer" that has made this a joy to drive with 1 finger.

These DJ 3A Willy’s are impossible to find in this condition. From the paperwork, this vehicle looks to have been a Las Brisas hotel Willy’s (Acapulco). I believe that Elvis Presley once owned a Willy's just like this one, in coral and pink. He certainly drove one in a few of his movies I have seen.

The jeep is missing the top, but I have a re-manufactured original top-style frame for it. And I have located the material and fringe for the Surrey top. This will be the new steward's job.

The Willy’s stops, starts and rides as it should.
Books and records from the seventies are yours if you are the buyer.
It definitely has some scratches and patina on it. Come see it if you'd like."

This Hawaiian rental DJ-3A Gala looks great shape.

(06/07/2011) Glenn is selling his DJ-3A. glenns@tdstelme.net

"1962 Willys DJ3A Surrey, Body,Original Frame with SN# 21501 visible, Surrey Top Bows, Included also is Original DJ3A Front Axle, Rear Axle, and Side Shift T-96 B Transmission I purchased separately and am picking up on way to The Great Willys Picnic, Sunday, June 12. The bad side of the deal is there is NO Title, NO Data Plate, but repros are available (Would Read 56337-21501), and other than a few other misc. parts, what you see is what you get.  The original frame is usable, though the front cross member has been replaced with a later unit to accommodate a steering sector which is included. The 4WD Axles included are probably CJ5.  According to the folks in Maryland I bought this from, this Surrey was used frequently on a 60's TV Show called Wonderama broadcast locally in the NYC and Baltimore areas, but I have not confirmed this yet. This was originally a true pink Surrey, built in the first third of 1962 production. A challenging restoration, you'll be searching for many DJ3A specific parts, but here is a great beginning and only out and about because of this eWillys site along with Dave's sharp eyes.  The price is $2500 CASH, includes delivery to either The Great Willys Picnic or any where between there and my Maine location. Again:  Bill of Sale ONLY!!!  Email me  glenns@tdstelme.net for phone contact and other information."

This is listed over at Hemmings.

This 1960 DJ-3A Surrey will be auctioned in January of 2017 by Sotheby's. The jeep is described as a "beautifully presented flawless restoration". That statement is followed by a series of inaccurate statements regarding the history of DJ-3A, such as the DJ-3A was introduced in 1955 (nope 1956). You can see all the pics and information here:

As Colin pointed out to Sotheby's, despite some great work on this, there are actually numerous flaws with this restoration:

1. Front bumper is from a 1948-49 Willys Jeepster, way too wide for a DJ3A Surrey.
2. Valance panel behind the front bumper is too long, as it has to cover the Willys Jeepster front bumper brackets.
3. Air filter is from a 1945-1949 Willys CJ2A 4WD Jeep and is made by Oakes.  The correct air filter should be either a small 7 inch dry air filter attached to the carburetor alone or a Donaldson oil bath air filter that attaches in the same position as the Oakes filter on this Jeep.
4. The Fram oil filter is of the larger heavy duty unit, not the smaller one used by the civilian 4 cylinder Jeeps from 1946-1964.
5. The windshield straps are incorrect, using webbed belts instead of vinyl with center buckle and three grommets, no additional adjusters on the straps at all.
6. Windshield grab handles were chrome on Surreys, as were the side mirrors.
7. The rear bumper is 1948-49 Willys Jeepster, has Willys Overland stamped into the center of the bumper and is too wide for a Surrey.  Surrey chrome bumpers were plain, without  the Willys Overland script.  Willys dropped the Overland part of the scripting for the 1950 models, but kept the Willys script on the 1950-51 Jeepsters and station wagon rear bumpers from 1950 through 1963 when the last of the old square bodies were used and the new Wagoneer station wagon debuted.
8. The speedometer reads in kilometers, rather than miles per hour.  Surreys and all DJ3A Jeep speedometers read in miles per hour and calibrated from 0 through 9 after 1958.  0-8 for 1956- early 1958.  Kilometers were used on export Jeeps.

Bruce forwarded me these unusual and rare posts cards of some unusual Surreys (here's a compilation of Surrey & DJ info). Bruce has attempted to contact the Las Brisas Manager to learn if they have a historian of sorts for their jeeps in use, but he hasn't had any luck. If anyone has any Las Brisas connections, please let me know!  Thanks for sharing Bruce.

Check out the guy driving the jeep, a stick no less, carrying a tray of food!

Brian writes, "These 2 jeeps offer clues but also leaves one with more questions. The extended tub, tailgate, baby moon hubcaps, valance panels, and an absence of chrome bumpers.  Also, there was no date stamp on the card, but it looks to be from the late/early 50-60s.

On the back of the postcard, written in both English and Spanish, it reads Room service by jeeps- unique at hotel Las Brisas in Acapulco where every room a has it's own pool."
