Jeep Dealer Frank Woods appeared to have high hopes for sales with this advertisement in the March 22, 1960, issue of the Charlotte Observer.

I don't think I've seen this Surrey postcard.

UPDATE: View the Miss Gotham winner here. Advertisements for the summer of 1960 Miss Gotham contest also appeared in newspapers. I also have learned who won the Surrey, but I need to scan the info still.

Jack shared this ad. That top is a curiosity.

Bruce wanted to share this "Form H1-3-59 Jeep Gala advertising booklet".

This looks to be a DJ-3A converted to 4WD, among other changes. Has a Kelly hardtop. Thanks to John for sharing it.

"Runs, drives, stops, plows(kinda). Needs battery. Frame is very solid. Body isnt in very good condition but not horrible and floor is decently solid. Had 290 v8 put in at one point and i have no idea the mileage. It leaks coolant from the radiator cap and hydraulic fluid from one of the plow hoses but you can just take the plow off cause it's not very useful. I just put a new fuel pump in it. It's a 3 speed manual that shifts into all gears easily. It's old as hell so it's obviously not perfect. I was told that most its life it was just a farm truck. I got it as a project but i have too many going on and need to clear some vehicles off the property. I have the title from the previous owner and bill of sale. Would like it gone sooner rather than later so shoot me an offer. (i have the door for the back but it's missing a hinge so i took it off)"

In the spring of 1961 Kelloggs offered a contest with prizes that included DJ-3A Surrey Jeeps. At least two of those winners were from California: N. E. Eastmoore, Sr, out of Bowman, California, and Mrs. Maurine Vogel, out of Pasadena, California. A third, Richard P. Varalin, out of Drums, Pennsylvania, is pictured below.

This for quality image of the back of an All-bran cereal box is the only image I have. A better one can be found on the CJ-3B Page, which also provides information about the contest.

She sure seems happy. Anyone recognize the background?

Can't be too many of these around? This one is located in France. I suspect this is newer than 1960.

There's another version of the 1960 Nassau Surrey for sale on Amazon and mentioned on the CJ-3B Page (scroll down to Newer Toys).

"Très beau modèle en porcelaine, en 3 dimensions, à l'échelle 1/200 environ (24 mm de long, 11 mm de large et 14 mm de hauteur)"

Speaking of unique Surreys, Mike wrote the following Comment:

"Back in 1962, One of my dad's favorite hangouts, Lee's tavern on Crooks Ave. in Clifton, NJ bought a special order CJ5 with a pink surrey fringe top and matching upholstery. It was the talk of the town. This Jeep was a double twist on the phrase "special order". It was a first generation Tuxedo Park model with the featured color scheme of white body with red grille and red wheels, along with the surrey top and seat covers which were installed over stock upholstery at the factory. The local legend story at the time was; He had to wait 6 months for delivery."

So, I spent some time searching for a CJ-5 Surrey picture. I didn't find any real ones, but I did find one toy:  A CJ-5 toy from 1960.
