The jeep in this photo reminds me of an airborne jeep.

Here are a couple photos from the site:
UPDATE: this photo was listed on Ebay.
This July 18, 1945, photo shows Charles Sorenson with T. L. Soong, brother of the Chinese prime minister, talking after the unveiling of the CJ-2A at Cesor Farms in Detroit.
Sitting in the jeep are Sgt. William Sheehan (left) of Boston and Sgt. Woody Turner of Truman, Arkansas. They are heading to New Guinea.
Tractors and jeeps were sold at this dealership.
“Photo. 1940s. Lamar, CO. Arkansas Valley Equipment Co, Willys Jeep Dealership.”
What’s mounted to the hood of the front jeep?
“1944- U.S. Marines and jeeps move along a road lined with ammunition cases as they advance to front lines on Saipan.”
This Boise, Idaho, soldier used a swastika image to commemorate a capture.
The model builder was supposed to be working on a motor for this tiny jeep at the time this photo and caption were published.
“1943 Press Photo The world’s smallest Jeep, 6 inches long and 2 inches high”
A Ford GP named “TIRED” is adapting to civilian life by stopping at the Lake Geneva, Illinois, post office for mail.
“1944 Press Photo Civilians adapting the Jeep to normal ways of living.”
Archive.org has an interesting collection of Business Screen Magazines from 1944-1947. Reading through them was kind of interesting. I found a few jeeps, too.

I thought this org chart was interesting as well.
Doug spotted this photo. It’s too bad there isn’t more jeep.
“Vintage Kodachrome Colorfax Transparency color slide. Early 1960’s. Some specks and dust. Nice picture of a car and airplane.”
Taken by Life Magazine photographer Frank Scherschel, I found this photo at the picturesdotblog site. Note the use of the parking brake! Also note the “press” sign on the front of the jeep. Do you suppose the wire cutter on the front of the press jeep was cut so that it wouldn’t interfere with photos?
A view of the same town seventy years later (thanks Tom!):
This article about the creation of mobile border control searchlight jeeps was published in the April 1956 issue of Willys News. A similar article with additional photos appeared in the February 1956 issue of Globetrotter.
This photo was from the May 1955 issue of Willys News. At first I thought these jeeps were involved in the annual jeep derby, but these are Sheriff’s Posse jeeps from Truth or Consequences, New Mexico.
Unfortunately, the caption has been removed from the back of this great photo.
I believe this shows a French soldier repairing a jeep.
This photo appeared earlier this year, but was sold with an ACME photo and slightly different caption.
