Lee’s decided to sell his CJ-2A.
“This is a 1947 CJ 2 A. This Jeep was bought new in Calif.by the Edison Co. and used for four years and then sold. My friend bought it from the Edison Co. in Calif. and then took it up to his cabin in the Sierra mountains and used it. It was stored in a shed when not used. Then it was moved to his hangar and stored and that is where it is now. That was 49 years ago! I am the third owner since new. I have owned this Jeep for over 8 year. This Jeep has very little rust. I had the rims sand blasted and painted and installed 5 new tires and tubes.

Edison ordered it with yellow paint on the bumpers, axles, shocks, shift lever/boot, hubs and etc.?
Nice original Jeep; I’m working on a ’47 myself. What’s the serial # on it?
HOW COME ALL THE GOOD ONES ARE ON THE WEST COAST !! NICE ORIGINAL ..LOVE TO HAVE IT BUT A LITTLE FAR FOR A TRANSPORTER
It would not surprise me if Edison painted it after they got it.
Paul, I’m with you. All the good stuff is on the west coast…or so it seems!
Yes, the good stuff seems to be on the West Coast. Every few days I spend time going through the Craigslists east of the Mississippi to find ‘hidden’ gems, but they are few and far between.
