1949 Station Wagon Brochure

UPDATE: Coincidentally, I received a better version of this brochure in the mail today as part of a packet of brochures, so the pics are much improved. This brochure is Form 46 SWMI-3CM-11-49.

This is how the back side of the brochure when unopened.

The top 1/4th of this foldout is a different page than the lower 3/4. The lower 3/4 folds down. Also, note the 'Jeep' badge that appears subtly in the lower right corner.

ok , this brochure was dated 11-49 ? -- the green wagon is not a station sedan , but it is a 6 cylinder model -- what interests me is the paint job , it has the upper part of the side body ribs painted in pinstripes ? -- my 1950 673 model , with the april 1950 and on pointed grill has the same pinstripes - i have never seen a flat front wagon with them .. live and learn

Yes, the end of the Form name is usually a date. In this case it is 11-49. Perhaps the wagon in the illustration is just an illustration, but was never created? I can't say for sure. Yes, I don't think the BYU Coed story to appropriate here (unapproved comment), but having lived in Utah, I understand it.
