When growing up, a neighbor had a Willys Wagon like those pictured in the low right corner. His was in varied shades of brown and sepia. He traded for a Model A.
These "beep beep Jarvis Jeeps" appear to be late 40's-early 50's models. Seems odd to me a guy would trade one for a Model A which ceased production in 1932.
Trade "down" 15-20 years?? Doesn't seem likely.
This photo is from 1959, and the cab over pickup is a Jeep model FC (forward control) which were made from 1956-1965 in several bed lengths, a friend had a FC 170
