“46 Willy’s all redone v6 motor 35” tires”
I like the full-layout image of the country and jeeps on this brochure. It’s form number is DM 62-07.
There’s no date associated with this photo, but General Krueger made Lt. Gen. in 1941. Given the jeep appears to be an MB, then this is most likely a 1942 or 1943 photo.
While in Louisiana, according to Wikipedia, the General adapted quickly to modern warfare, In at least two different phases of mock battles, the Lt. Gen. out gamed his opponents. He’d later use similar strategies to confront Japanese forces in the Pacific Theatre. After the war, he authored From Down under to Nippon: The Story of the Sixth Army in World War II.

“Press Photo Lieutenant General Walter Krueger and Soldiers with Army Jeep. This is an original press photo. When a three star general roams the maneuver country, no cushioned limousine will do the job. Lieutenant General Walter Krueger, left above, confers with Staff Sargent M. Hanson about the ground-covering capabilities of his “war” Jeep, complete with two-way radio, siren, and – just to clear the road – the General’s three-starred flag. Both the Jeep and General have a task ahead – for General Krueger, as Commanding General of the Third Army, will direct strenuous maneuvers in the battle-tough Louisiana area.Photo measures 9.25 x 7.5inches. Photo is dated –None.”

“EIGHT original 10×13″ magazine ads in very good condition.”
I”m guessing this ad is from 1956 given it’s sharing the news of the new CJ-6. The seller has incorrectly dated this to the 1930s.

It works intermittently, which is better than this Golden Eagle RC CJ-5 on eBay that doesn’t work at all for more money.

Seller’s title labels this a 1945, but it looks more like a 3A to me.

“1945 Willys Jeep barn find. All original 4 cylinder engine and running gear. Engine will run but not sure about the running gear. Looking for best offer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,800.
(10/04/2020) Seems like it could be a very late 2A or early 3A.
“Jeep CJ3A. Original Willys from the 1940s. Super Quite 4 Cylinder Engine. Dry Wyoming 4×4. Been in the same family 40 years.Hauled many Deer and Elk out of the Mountains. Runs like a watch. Idles Smooth. Original Trans and Transfer Case. 4 750×16 tires and a good spare. This is Absolutely the Best almost no Rust Jeep CJ I have seen in 30 + years. Look at the Pictures.

Not a whole lot of value here.

Normal updates resume Monday morning.
This July 30, 1956, article in the Sacramento Bee gave a brief description of the late July jeep trip over the Sierras.
UPDATE: apparently, this one is up for sale
This nice looking truck is a Willys body and look adapted to a 2014 JK Chassis. No doubt it cost a few bucks to assemble. The result sure looks nice. Note that the whole truck had to be widened.

Some of the stats:
A search for something else led me from a jeep photo (below) to a post about Major Art Hasler’s experience in Germany. The post is mixed with original and period photos, a few of which include jeeps. His story about Karl von Frisch’s work on bees was fascinating to Art, and later to the Nobel Price Committee, as he won the Nobel Price for his work on the social behavior of bees.

It wasn’t all rainbows and unicorns when civilian jeeps arrived. This August 20, 1946, article highlights hunting conflicts in the woods. I can’t blame these hunters for being angry …
I saw these on eBay and decided to snag them. I’d guess they were produced circa 1960? For some reason the jeeps are printed backwards, with the steering wheel and gas inlet on the passenger side. While there are lots of details, a battery box lid detail was not included, so either it was an oversight or the artist didn’t care or it was a post ’62 illustration.
Lots of text on this Willys Jeep Truck ad.

IN ENGLISH: Jeep Trucks: Work with Less Cost
The ‘Jeep’ Trucks have been designed to lower transportation costs and to give safe performance under the toughest working conditions. They consume less oil and less gasoline, the longer they last longer, and their functional design makes them easier to preserve and repair.
Four-wheel drive models, with a capacity for 1 ton of payload, are built “on purpose” for heavy duty off the road. Conventional rear wheel drive models can handle 3/4 to 1 ton of payload and their economical performance on the road is unmatched.
In both types we offer a wide selection of standard body styles, all with fully enclosed cab, suitable for any climate, and in the four-wheel drive models, the motive power take-off is optional.
Includes a Sears/Allstate-branded (Meyers-manufactured) hardtop.

(09/22/2020) Not quite all restored, as the data plates have paint on them a few other issues.
“This authentic well-kept piece of history can be yours. This 1942 WWII Willy CJ Ford Jeep is a classic and has been restored and garaged for the past 20 years. Runs great, the Willy straight four engine was completely overhauled, like new, full canvas package, full set of manuals and maintenance guides and receipts. To the best research I have been able to do, this jeep was used here in Sunriver, Bend at Camp Abbott 1942-1944. Lots of fun to drive and has been entered in several military vehicle displays and parades.”
