October 1953 Worman Hardtop Brochure

UPDATE: I finally found an original of this brochure by Laurel Worman, Inc. I was surprised to see it printed as late as October of 1953. It is an 8.5 x 11 inch brochure that folds out to 17 x 11 inches.

Its primary purpose was likely to promote the new Worman hardtop for the CJ-3B. I'm not sure how many of that style of tops sold, but I sure haven't seen many. Instead, I've always wondered if the design was sold or made for Sears, which promoted a similar "Deluxe top".  Interestingly, this was more than just a top. The brochure highlights that the top was the result of Worman's 5-year attempt to turn the CJ-3A into a station wagon type vehicle. Given Worman faded quickly after this brochure was made, it seems the company's goal wasn't met.

    Ensolite foam. Still used today for vehicle insulation and sound mitigation. At least you don't have to scrape it off and bag it while wearing a Hazmat suit.
