These images were located at the Hawaii State Archives, Digital Collections. The front bumper on this jeep was pretty beat up! All photos are from the Palmyra Atoll and include Jean Hobbs and Leslie Fullard. The site was very slow when I was exploring it, so searching is a little tedious.

1942 Durkee-Atwood Windshield De-Icer / Defroster

A friend donated this Durkee-Atwood Windshield De-Icer / Defroster to eWillys. It looks like it was stored well, as everything looks in good shape. It comes in the original metal box. I don’t know anything about these and not sure what the value should be. If anyone’s interested, let me know (d @ deilers.com).

1949 Movie ‘Come to the Stable’

The movie Come to the Stable includes a jeep in the movie and on many posters about the movie. Based on how often a jeep appears on advertising literature, I thought a jeep might have played a prominent role, but after reading a movie synopsis, it doesn’t seem that way. I couldn’t find a full version of the movie online to see for myself, but there is a version on Apple TV (and likely elsewhere).

The movie features a song titled “Through the Long and Sleepless Night“, with a record jacket that includes a jeep image. It was the reason I began researching the movie:

1946 CJ-2A Fordland, MO **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.

Matt’s helping a friend sell this CJ-2A. It does not have a title.

“I am listing this Jeep for a friend of mine. It’s a 1947 CJ2A that is mostly complete and will run with a little work. It ran a couple years ago and has been sitting since. It does turn over and sputter with some fuel poured down the carb. The body needs work as there are some patches in the floor and rust in a few spots. Frame is solid and the rest of the drivetrain is in good complete shape. As you can see in the pictures someone added some different seats to it. The Windshield is NOT included with the Jeep and it does NOT have a title.

The Jeep is located in Fordland Missouri, roughly 30 miles east of Springfield. He is firm on $1500 which I believe is a great price for a CJ2A that will run and drive with a couple hours of work. If you are interested give me a call or text and I will put you in touch. 8603043639. Thank you.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,555.

(04/10/2020) The seller suggests that this is a 1945, but the dash plate looks more like a post column shift (33xxx-45xxx) plate … (has the script “JEEP” and does has the “ONE QUARTER TON FOUR WHEEL DRIVE” slogan rather than the preceding “ONE QUARTER TON FOUR WHEEL DRIVE TRUCK”). More on 2A plates here: http://www.cj-2a.com/oldsite/marks/dataplates/survey/index.html

1947 CJ-2A Lincoln, CA **Status Unknown**

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $3250.

It’s got some rough spots, but it runs. Seller uses the hand brake to stop. The hardtop (what’s left of it) may have been a Porter and Reed.

“I didn’t want to sell this but I have to pay for a new truck.

She’s not a show queen, but great around the farm, ranch, and trails. 1950s Willys F-head motor. Motor runs, clutch shifts well, and 4×4 works. Front brake hoses are cracked (available from vintagejeeps.com) so I’ve been using the hand brake. Tubes/tires hold air but are showing their age. Clean CA title on non-op.

More pics and videos available.

Recent carb rebuild and master cylinder rebuild. New spark plugs, points, and condenser. Timing still needs to be set. New Swepco motor oil and oil filter. Electric fuel pump. Headlights, brake lights, and turn signals work. Heavy duty galvanized hardtop. Doors are removable. Glass is good. Rollbar has not been bolted in.
