1951 Article w/ Jeep Helping Circus

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

This May 10, 1951, article  in the Abilene Reporter-News shows a newly acquired MB/GPW hoisting a circus tent for the Gainesville Community Circus. The jeep was modified to drive stakes, pull stakes, and hoist canvas. Though the circus had been active since the 1930s, this May event was the first time the circus had travelled outside the Gainesville, Texas, area, according to the article at the bottom of the post. Three years later, in 1954, the circus was destroyed by fire.

1945? CJ-2A Lewes, DE $9500

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

If truly a 1945 CJ-2A, it lacks a few items.

https://delaware.craigslist.org/cto/d/lewes-jeep-willys-1945-cj2a/7156884435.html

“Enjoy a dependable collector jeep, Harvest Tan color, new olive drab green seat covers, new canvas top, completely rebuilt engine with all receipts. “Go Devil” L head engine, 12v conversion, warn locking hubs to ease wear on front drive. Purchased from a gentleman in Brunswick, Ga. (second owner) in 2015, with all his receipts. Its a blast driving to Saturday farmers market, car cruise events and hauling around grandchildren to the local beach. It draws a lot of attention, its time to turn it over to the next lucky owner.”
