UPDATE: Here are a couple more articles introduction the Jeep Surrey. The first one notes that women will like it for its fashion while men will like it for its fine engineering. I'm less convinced that the term 'fine-engineering' should be applied to any of the DJ-3As.
The second was widely disseminated in various arrangements and reminds us that "A similar model, the "Jeep" Gala, was introduced to the export market early this year ." This documents that the Gala was the export model and the Surrey the domestic model.
This first article was published October 08, 1959, and comes from Utah's Orem-Geneva Times:
This October 04, 1959, article published in the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Originally posted in February of 2015: A November, 24, 1959 article in the Spokesman Review introduced the Surrey to Spokane, Washington, residents. There was no accompanying article. Behind the jeep is an old surrey carriage. I've not seen an original press photo of this one. Has anyone else?
Two months earlier a September 16, 1959, article in the Toledo Blade welcomed the 'Jeep Surrey' as well.
Three months later in January of 1960 the Toledo Blade published this article.
This later photo was taken at the 1961 Chicago Auto Show. I found it via Google, but I couldn't locate it on the chicagoautoshow's website due to errors from the site.
