The writing on this photo indicates this jeep with a wood top was located in Europe. It was odd enough I thought I’d buy the photo, which was on eBay.

(04/18/2018) Chad spotted another California modified Flattie. It’s nearly identify to three other jeeps (same body updates, same dash, same custom windshield, same Muller custom top, etc). The differences are slightly, such as this one has a black rear bumper rather than a chrome one like the others.
- For example, Here’s one that was also listed as a 1965. They have different valve covers and different rear bumpers, but pretty much everything else looks the same: http://www.ewillys.com/2015/06/10/1965-custom-flattie-las-vegas-nv-ebay/#more-113889
- Here’s another (this has a 302 and chrome bumper): http://www.ewillys.com/2014/08/25/1948-cj-2a-kerman-ca-6950/
- And another (black seats): http://www.ewillys.com/2012/03/13/1948-cj-2a-clovis-ca-ebay/
- This has more differences than the others, but similar look: http://www.ewillys.com/2017/08/17/1948-cj-2a-fort-mohave-az-16500/

Koenig? CJ-5 Hardtop Wellington, CO **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
I believe this is an early Koenig hardtop.
“Hard top and doors for a Willy’s/CJ5. I originally had got the top when it came with a ’73 CJ5 I had purchased, but since then it’s been replaced with a soft top and doors, so this has been sitting in my garage while I debated whether to sell it or not. I believe it was originally intended for older models (50s to 60s models), but it installed okay on the ’73
The doors come with the top. Windows are intact.”

Seller has other CJ-6 parts for sale, too.
https://galveston.craigslist.org/pts/d/houston-1957-cj6-willys-jeep-koenig/6870684126.html
“Early CJ6 Willys Jeep Koenig Ironworks Hardtop. The doors and outer roof skin have been media blasted. I have all of the hardware for the door sliding windows and sliding windows for the side panels. The rear hatch is missing, I never had it and dont know where it is. Seeing that it would basically be a flat piece of sheet metal with a top hinge it would probably be pretty easy to make one. The top is in reasonable condition, and I believe would only need some minor repair, new glass, and a rear hatch door to be 100%. I am asking $250 obo.”

1947 CJ-2A Cheyenne, WY **SOLD**

“1948 willys Jeep. This is a great fun little Jeep it was built back when everything was built to last and when Jeeps were tough as tanks. This Jeep has spent most of its life cruising around the back roads of Nelson county and only shows 90,000 miles on the speedometer, it was modified in the mid-50s and a homemade very well-engineered hard top was added along with removable doors and heat from a mid 50s Dodge and has remained virtually the same since.
It runs and drives great and is very dependable with loads of new parts, it has new brakes, new tires, new exhaust and the carburetor was rebuilt, all of the gauges work as well as all of the lights. It shifts through the gears perfect and the four wheel drive works great too. I can’t really think of anything that it needs. This little tank has some minor rust in the rear tailgate and a few spots around the rockers but it is far from being a rust bucket it actually has a really cool look to it just like it sets the scratches, rough paint, chipped paint and small amounts of rust give it character. If you’re looking for something fun to just play around with and cruise the back roads, take up into the mountains to go camping, hunting or something fun to have around your property this would be a great Jeep.”

Metro Engineering’s Hardtop w/ Wood Doors
Carl pointed out to me that the Cab Enclosure hardtop for the M-38A1 (by Metro Engineering) used plywood doors (all the time? sometimes?). Anyone have insights on this?
Here are two examples.
This video was taken in Salt Lake City (Avenues area) and shows and M-38A1 with plywood doors.
And, This thread on G503 includes the below pics of plywood doors.
