1946 CJ-2A Madison, FL **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.

The seller notes only 200 column shift CJ-2A’s were made.  Given Willys produced the column shift through VIN #38221, I’d say the seller is off by 28,000. Now, if this were a CJ-2 it might be more interesting.

“This is a column shift very rare only made 200 of them made. It runs but need brakes new master cylinder,new gas tank,new timing set,all original except paint. color is green.have owned for 54 years.”

Buz found this picture on a biography blog post about Gregory Duncan.  Here, Greg is pictured with Bill Mauldin, a photo neither Buz nor I had seen.  You’ll notice “Up Front” stenciled on the front bumper, which is also the name of a book published that contains a wide variety of his drawings.

It sounds like there might be more than one of these posters of the Ford Jeep?

“This is not a photo – it is an artist illustrated Pen Ink Hand Drawn  poster print.We have listed a collection of these oversized prints that are from our Automotive Museum Archives.This was our most popular exhibit.To see the others listed go to our Ebay Store and enter = auto pen ink  =in the search field.During the 1980’s Pacific Standard Life Insurance Company was selling only life insurance and they decided to add auto insurance to their products and they created an exhibit that was going to be displayed thru out the United States but the project never got off the ground as they ended up filing backruptcy and all their clients became part of Hartford Insurance company. Our Museum purchased the entire exhibit and it became part of our Transportation Museum.Each is handdrawn and that also includes all the lettering.No other Ebay seller will list these as this is an exclusive listing.These are GEM MINT and are on a heavy weight cardstock.Each is matted and the size outside matt is  14 x 14 inches.We accept Paypal.Pay one shipping charge of 6.85 and all others selected will be shipped FREE.

Group  your favorite  posters together and create your own exhibit of your antique cars. One of the things that makes these pen ink posters so special are features of that years model are identified and some even have the selling price for that respective year.These were done over many decades and were at times featured in newspapers thur out the US.
