1959 CJ-5 Hardtop Brochure SOLD

UPDATE: SOLD, Was on eBay. As I understand it, this top was quietly manufactured for Willys Motors by Koenig, but never branded a Koenig. I am also of the belief that it fits both the CJ-5 and the DJ-3A, though the latter needs the windshield with 'wings' to fit.

This brochure makes it clear that the CJ-5 hardtop with sliding doors also provided an option for hinging the door instead. I think Mike might have told that was an option, but I'd never seen documentation of it until now.

I never forget this Jeep stuff from the past, CONFORMATION that I was CORRECT, THANK YOU DAVE. I appreciate the acknowledgement. Too many times in life, factual information gets lost in today's "Everyone is an expert" internet atmosphere, puts me in a good frame of mind for the New Year.

I had this exact top on a cj5. I liked how the rear door slid back into the cab. Nice cabs

Mike, you are welcome. I appreciate all your stories and comments! Documenting stuff like this is one of my favorite things to do with eWillys.

good bit of info on that brochure --- the sliding door top was only FACTORY fitted --- I was always thought that those tops looked weird with hinged front doors ?
