Something a little different …. According to Autoeveolution.com, there’s been an increasing number of “Jeep Willys builds” at drag strips. A digital artist, Yasid Oozeear, decided to render a drag jeep with a WWII look (this is an illustration, not an actual build).

Possibly a Holden Jeep?
1946 CJ-2A “Nellybelle II” Cave Creek, AZ **Status Unknown**
UPDATE II: **Status Unknown. Was listed at $29,500 in Feb of 2020.
UPDATE: This was for sale in June of 2019 for $10k. Now it’s on sale for $29,500. This is a replica that reportedly was built for the museum. It wasn’t used on the actual show, based on the ads for this jeep that we’ve previously seen. The original Nelly Belle sold for $116,500 in 2010 and, subsequently, for $38,400 in 2018.
(02/22/2019) This was originally for sale in 2010.
(from the 2019 ad) “This 1946 CJ-2A is an exact replica of the Jeep Nellybelle used in the Roy Rogers’ TV Show of the 1950’s. It was commissioned by Roy Jr., aka Dusty Rogers. It was used at the Roy Rogers Museum for the children to climb into so that the original Nellybelle would not get all that “abuse”. We have the Certificate of Authenticity as well as pictures we took with Dusty and his son, Dustin. We are also friends with the fine gentleman who built this jeep for Dusty.
It runs well, smokes a little (it’s old enough and Dusty said it always smoked).”

“Be it a civilian or military jeep they were one tough vehicle. This civilian model 1953 Willys Jeep has the Hurricane 4 cyl. engine with the 4×4 optional transmission. Refinished in a bright maroon paint with a custom vinyl black top it will look good wherever you go. Original Willys hood and tailgate are still in place.

Nice looking truck-bed trailer.
https://seattle.craigslist.org/skc/pts/d/puyallup-willys-jeep-truck-bed-trailer/7082032010.html
“Willy’s Kaiser JEEP stepside trailer. The bed is 8 foot, comes with the vintage canopy made by a local company in the late 1950’s, early 60’s. There’s a lumber rack, and the trailer axle is standard Willys 5 on 5.5” bolt pattern just like the vintage jeeps. She’s perfect for hauling whatever, or whoever. Use it for camping, glamping, personal, or business use.
A great chance to haul your stuff to the Swap Meet coming up- pull up in Puyallup with this thing and park it in your stall and you’re ready to go!”
