Project or parts jeep.

“I have this 1947 CJ2 Willys Jeep for sale. I was going to rebuild it but my friend passed away. He had the skills, not me. The body and floor boards are in surprisingly good shape. The only missing parts are an engine and transmission. (It had a straight 6 that was bad.) I have the original lights, grill, radiator, gas tank, both front seats, windshield, and roll bar. I also have (from a Jeep Cherokee) a power steering column and pump, and the fuel tank which is fuel injection capable. ”

The ad suggests that perhaps the buyer can decipher the VIN, because they couldn’t. So, it’s a little surprising when the sellers note they have experience in ‘All Aspects of the Auto Industry’! Apparently, that’s true expect when it pertains to vintage jeeps perhaps?

1944 Color Photo from France

• CATEGORIES: Magazine, Old Images • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Taken by Life Magazine photographer Frank Scherschel, I found this photo at the picturesdotblog site. Note the use of the parking brake! Also note the “press” sign on the front of the jeep. Do you suppose the wire cutter on the front of the press jeep was cut so that it wouldn’t interfere with photos?

Jeeps (including a press vehicle) in the town square, Marigny (Manche), Normandy, 1944.

1946 Fortune Magazine on eBay

• CATEGORIES: Features, Magazine This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

It appears the August 1946 issue of Fortune Magazine has an interesting Willys Overland article.

“This complete Fortune magazine is in really nice original condition. The cover has no edge tears or creases, but there is a scuff on the right and bottom edges. The lower left edge shows minor scuffs. The illustration is vivid against a clean background.

The spine has minor scuffs at the top and bottom. The magazine is still securely bound. As I thumb thru this magazine, the inside pages appear clean with no tears, creases or dog eared corners. The back cover has no edge tears or creases. The illustration is vivid against a nice and clean background.”
