UPDATE II (July 20, 2018) : Keith provided portions of a document that show the agreement between Karl Probst / R.N. Harger and KAISER.

UPDATE (July 1, 2018) : Barry found a set of specs that could be a match to this prototype. Also, Keith noted that there were 6 different designs from the Probst-Harger” collaboration.

Original Post June 26th: Barry spotted this photo on the Kaiser Permanente history site. The jeep is listed as a 1943 Model 1160 “Kaiser Lightweight Jeep”. I’m not sure if this was supposed to be an Airborne prototype or just a concept lightweight jeep. Henry J. Kaiser is on the right. I think that’s Karl Probst on the far left; Rollin N. Harger might be seated in the middle.

Miami-Dade County Transportation Building Jeep

Steve reports that this jeep can be seen inside the Miami-Dade County (Florida) Transportation Building. It appears to be a militarized CJ-2A with some MB parts (frame could be MB) with some diamond plating added to the rear cargo area.

As you can see in this pic, it is claimed the jeep is a 1945 WWII jeep. But, the CJ parts suggest otherwise. It appears the jeep is on loan form the Miami Military Museum at Zoo Miami.

This pic is from Yelp and shows the sign on the jeep and more of the display.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $5500.

(12/21/2017) Appears to have an f-head.

https://medford.craigslist.org/cto/d/1948-willys-jeep/6646179689.html

“This Willys Jeep is an 1948 CJ2a. The “a” stands for agriculture, it was post-war Jeep’s first model made for the civilian market.

It has a mid-mount PTO, and the original flathead engine was replaced by the next series, the Hurricane motor with overhead valves. That’s why the carburetor cover sticks through the hood. No power steering. One seat belt

It has new brakes, carb, windshield glass and seals, seat covers and cushions, and runs good.”

This appears to be a CJ-3A.

https://newjersey.craigslist.org/cto/d/1952-willys-jeep/6646932077.html

“This is a 1952 Willys Jeep, its rust free and was redone to look like a military model. It runs great but needs some brake work. Im in the process of doing some brake work and if not it can be reflected on the final price. This is one tough durable jeep and they have a good history behind these jeeps. This jeep has been gerage kept after its restoration. Its in better shape than others that are asking thousands more. It also comes with a fitted cover.”
