This photo and article was published in the August 29, 1957, issue of the Reading Eagle from Reading, Pennsylvania. It looks to be a CJ-2. It sounds like it has been refurbished into a brush fire-fighting jeep. The article indicates this would be called Jeep No. 11, yet it is labeled Jeep No. 1.

Can’t say I ever tried this.

“You are bidding on an original press photo of Marvin Bud Ward Golfing Off Jeep Hood Dutch New Guinea WWII. Photo has waving due to too much glue being used to attach the information sheet onto the back of the photo. If the listing shows thin red and/or green lines, they are the result of a bad scan & the lines are NOT on the actual photo. Photo measures 7 x 9 inches and is dated 10/7/1944.”
