1961 Animal Series of Brochures

During 1961, along with non-animal-related brochures, Willys Motors produced this series of ads using different animals. It appears they were only produced between January and September of 1961.

Not surprisingly the April 1961 is clearly the best! Oddly, I don't see any branding. Was the message continued on the other side of these post cards? How did these cards communicate "Willys"?

  Joe, these are actually the front pages of brochures. As Blaine notes, click on the link (I need to make each pic clickable to the respective brochure). Sorry for any confusion. - Dave

For those who don't catch the link. Click on each month/year and it will show you the whole fold out brochure.
