August 31, 1946, Jeep Wagon Lady-Like Ad

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

UPDATE: Steve shared this link about a ‘Lady Jeep’ article written for the Heinz Center, which led me to Amazon. That listing included a date and magazine for this ad … the August 31, 1946, issue of the New Yorker. And, there’s a better pic on Amazon.

=====================

Originally published May 19, 2019: This ad was on google image search, though it was gone from the actual destination page to which Google directed me. So, I have no date or magazine name to identify when this ad was published. It treats the Army jeep as a tomboy and the wagon as a Lady.

“1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep $4500 obo
Mechanical restoration 4 years ago. Requires constant adjustments and work. Is running crappy again. Starts but running extremely rich. Dies if you drive it. Could be from modern fuel gumming needle again, could be carb needs cleaned and adjusted again, could be something else. Maybe it’s got carb jet size issue from being set up for 5000 feet but now it’s at 100 feet above sea level. Who knows.

Original go devil motor. New radiator and brake system. Original. 4WD works good. Tranny is good. Maybe 300 miles put on it since motor rebuilt.

This jeep has been in my family it’s whole life. My dad bought it in 1956 in Kansas City from my great Uncle who bought after WW2. I inherited it in 2012 and paid for a mechanical restoration only 4 years ago. This thing requires care and adjustments just to keep it running and I’m done messing with it. It’s never been fully restored. It’s got rust. It’s got the back seat frame too. No cover.

NO DELIVERY. Drag it home.”
