   Save the Travellers! Save the Parkways! Save the Tornados! Okay, I'm done shouting. Nice find Dave.

   I'd love to find one of those roof mount spare tire racks to go on the top of my '63.

   Jim, No, I don't have a Traveller, but I recognized it was a rare brochure. I'm not looking to sell it, but will let it go for $20. That would allow me to purchase and document another rare brochure or two (it takes time to hunt these things on eBay). Note that while this brochure is flat and crisp, it does have some smudges, so it isn't a pristine brochure. If you or anyone else is interested, email me at d@ewillys.com. - Dave

    Also, I'd forgotten to link the images above to the larger versions. Now you can see the pages a little better.

    Thanks Dan. Jim's restoring a Traveller. He's looking for a rear seat. Have you heard of any for sale?
14. DanJuly 22, 2016 at 6:45 AM

    My 4x4 Traveller needs a pair of stock rear seats too, like this: http://i1150.photobucket.com/albums/o604/scramboleer/2013%20Caravan%20to%20Willys%20America%20BBQ%20and%20Open%20House/2013WillysAmericaOpenHouse2013-07-13167_zpsd702096c.jpg. The previous owner redid the interior, ripped out the stock jump seats, and replaced them with a seat from a 70s Olds.

    Do you know what month or time of year that brochure was produced—like, what does the 04 mean in Form No. 62-04...April, possibly? I've never been able to find any promotional literature for the Utility line in later 1962 due, I assume, to the marketing blitz for the new J-Series vehicles at that time. I see that it advertises the Tornado engine so it must be from Spring or later.

    @thomas - for what it’s worth, April 1962 is when Willys switched from the 226 Super Hurricane to the 230 OHC Tornado, so what you’re saying would make sense. And I agree. I’ve seen very little marketing materials in 1962-1964 that didn’t focus on the just launched FSJs.

    Thanks for your prompt reply, Dan. I continue my search….this brochure was a bit of a surprise, but I'll bet it was from Spring or Summer.

    Thanks Dan .. I didn't put that timing together either. - Dave
