1946 'Jeep' Station Wagon Brochure

There's no form number or date for this brochure, so my best guess is that this is was one of the earliest station wagon brochures.

Curiously, the illustration on the front appeared in a September 1946 Saturday Evening Post ad, but with several changes. The ad is more formal, while the brochure's illustration is more informal. For example, the 'Dad' has a tie and no fishing pole,  while the 'Mom' has a different color of dress and purse. The wagon color is more purplish in the ad, while the wagon is red in the brochure.
