Year? CJ-3A? Houston, TX Price?

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A, CJ-3A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This jeep is listed at $18,500, but I prefer to think that is either a 1) mistake or 2) random price. It’s listed as a 1947 CJ-2A, but lacking top bow brackets and sporting a 3A windshield, could be a CJ-3A.

“1947 Jeep Willys, CJ 2A, CJ2
NOT RUNNING

UPDATE: In late September and early October of 1952, the press photo at bottom, along with the caption seen in the newspaper clipping below, appeared in newspapers across the country. However, I could not locate any associated story. There’s no mention of it being a Hy-Rail.
