Buz forwarded a couple different images the other day.

This one is from the Los Angeles Times (pic #8) and shows a jeep among the auto train towards the internment camps in 1942.  The caption to this picture indicates the trucks were stopped in the Mojave Desert on the way to the Manzanar Camp.

Driving this jeep is Earle Stanley Gardner, who was the writer of 80 Perry Mason Novels.  Learn more about him here in this biography written by Jeff Marks.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

It’s too bad the body was cut.

“1947 Willys CJ2A Jeep that runs and drives great. The jeep belonged to an older couple and they had a mechanic go through the jeep anf fix anything that was wrong. The engine was purchased new in 1975 and has low miles on it. He had cut the side of the jeep so he could get in and out easier. The jeep has all new wiring for the lights, all the gauges work even the gas gauge, the windshield wiper works, glass all good, high and low beam on the lights, all the gears are tight and the transfer case is like new, four wheel drive works great, has lockouts, the tub has been rhino lined, seats are in fair shape, has 16in tires and wheels. The bumper is bent from hitting something”

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was on eBay.

What is that on the passenger side, an emergency brake?  For $3400 this looks like a good price.

” Military flat fender style jeep.  4X4 with a solid, good condition drivetrain.  134 c.i.d. L-Head 4 cyl. engine that runs strong.  The speedo reads 01851, but I don’t have any idea if it is original miles and turned over once or not.  Powerful PTO winch that works great.  Tow bar attached to the front bumper.  New floor panels.  Soft top and soft doors included, but it is not a full enclosure.  Body is in great shape-no rust.  Spare tire carrier has been moved to tailgate and the tailgate is tack welded closed.  Everything is original except the front bumper (has a grader blade welded to the original bumper) and the tail lights are replacements.  Tires are sun rotted and not highway safe.  Clear title.  I can deliver the jeep within 100 miles, but no further.  Cash or cashier’s check for full amount at the time of pick-up and title transfer.”
