The Surrey Gala was a variant of the DJ-3 Dispatcher Jeep. The DJ-3 was designed as a delivery vehicle and mail truck and performed honorably in that role. The Surrey Gala was a pink painted DJ with a frilly striped top that looks more like a toy or a golf cart than a Jeep. Its basic function was to serve as a vacation transport at resorts or as a delivery vehicle for small shops. It's also reported that Elvis owned one.
In 1959, a Surrey Gala model was introduced. This model was intended for use by resorts, usually for rentals. They usually came in pink, although light blue and light green were also available. It came with a standard striped fabric top, as well as a fabric cover for what was advertised as a "Continental tire mount."
