From "ONLY vintage PHOTOS of cars, motorbikes or trucks from 40s to 60s" Facebook group, here's an FC in Sweden:

Auggie
Well Oiled
Dan, how do you keep all these straight with what you have shared? Like when you grab a image from the internets, how do you know that you do not already have that one?
Good question Auggie. It's memory. I do occasionally re-read the thread to help. Unfortunately some of the links are broken (not just Photobucket). When I come across a Willys picture that's been posted before, but makes sense to include - like it fits a theme (eg. "Hy-Rail") or if the link is broken - then I'll include it again. My memory is not perfect though.

Here's an early Jeepster being unloaded in Toledo courtesy of the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library:
And an early shot of an MB on a farm (maybe a prototype CJ2A?):
The caption says "Willys-Overland / Jeep / Sorenson, Charles E. / Cesor Farms / product demonstrations / barn."
And here's a few shots of the King of Romania visiting Toledo in 1948:
