Vintage magazine Ads
Back to Jason's Baja Bronco Page
Back in the 1970's, Bill Stroppe & Associates offered a wide variety of off road equipment for Ford vehicles. These parts could be ordered from his Off Road Accessories catalog or from ads that were placed in four wheel drive/off road magazines.
A while back I learned (thanks to Andrew of BajaBronco.com) about these ads and purchased a bunch of old Four Wheeler magazines. I scanned in all of the ads, articles, new product features, etc regarding Stroppe Equipment and I placed a few of them on here for you to check out. Enjoy!

Update -- November 2004
I just purchased some more vintage Four Wheeler and Pickup, Van, & 4x4 magazines. Here are some of the ads that were in those.
This is the earliest Stroppe ad I have ever seen. It is from a 1966 issue of Four Wheeler. Actually, it is a Holman-Moody-Stroppe ad.
Here are a couple vintage Air Lift ads. One featuring the Bob Lewis' race Bronco and one featuring Bill Stroppe.
Here is a little newer version (1974) of the before & after Big Oly ad that is shown below.
