Color Photo of a 1946 CJ-2A

Jacques emailed me yesterday with a digital copy from a color slide of a 1946 CJ-2A.

He writes, “I was raised in Reading PA but have been living in Australia for the last 37 years. Attached is a colour slide I scanned of my Dads 1946 CJ2A when very new.  He bought it 1n 1947 as a demo model from a dealer in Reading who gave rides in it at the airport, now Spaatz Field to promote sales.

It was Harvest Tan with Harvard Red wheels. He had it until 1962 when he traded it for a new IH Travelall 4 x 4. Believe a mechanic at the IH dealership bought it.

Seem to remember the Jeep dealership in Reading was named Ira J Freyer. Wonder if it still exists?

Forgot to mention Dad so loved the military jeeps he used in New Guinea in the Signal Corps in WW2 that was the reason he bought a “new” CJ2A after the war.”

Unusual CJ-2A Windshield

Bill spotted this unusual CJ-2A windshield the other day.  He noted the welds look professional and as stock as other windshields he’s seen.  Anyone seen anything like this one?

He writes, “It didn’t appear homemade and I didn’t see any welds or cuts that don’t look factory. I did roll it back and looked at the sheet metal on the front – it was neatly rolled and spot welded – very factory-like.”

These don’t look cut at all.  These are the older style without the front lips you’ll find on the new fenders from Whitney’s, etc.

“These are front fenders for a CJ2A or 3A, not sure if they fit 3B’s though. They are in really nice shape, not cracked or chipped at all. They are currently painted camo but can be repainted easily. I am asking $350 or best for the pair. Please call or text me anytime after noon if you have any questions, I am up late 517-four20-8203”
