What a different ten years make! Gone are the 1945 farmer-in-overalls ready-for-some-serious-work press photos, replaced by a nicely dressed ranch gal ready to drive the range. I’d say that’s a demographic shift.

“1954 Press Photo A new version of the famed Willy’s Jeep is introduced. This is an original press photo. A new version of the famed Willy’s Jeep is being introduced by Kaiser-Willys dealers. The new vehicle, designed for a multitude of transportation and towing chores on or off road, is said to be more rugged, roomier and more comfortable than previous models. It is powered by a 75 horsepower engine in combination with four wheel drive. Features include streamlined hood, contoured fenders and larger windshield. A new all-weather top is easier to install or remove. Photo measures 10 x 8.25 inches. Photo is dated 12-09-1954.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.

I can’t tell for sure if this Empire Tractor is a model 88 (built from WWII parts) or a Model 90 (built from 2A parts), but the spring under the seat suggests to me it’s a 90. You can learn more about these here.

“1948 Empire tractor with Willys Jeep engine tractor was manufactured in Philadelphia after the World War II tractor in excellent condition with matching serial numbers with winch on the rear.”

The foundation for this jeep is a 1948 CJ-2A, but there are some CJ-3A parts here as well. Looks like a good price.

“Start 2018 off right by finally getting that vintage Jeep you’ve always wanted. The New Years resolution you can actually keep!

Up for sale is a 1948 Jeep basket case. I had planned on building this project for many years and it’s finally time for me to face the reality – it’s not going to get finished. I purchased this mess way back in 1998 and it’s sat in a warehouse since then. My plan was to do a restoration, so everything I have is original. If you know about 1946 – 1949 CJ’s you will know exactly what you are looking at. I am quite confident I have a 98% complete project here.

I have two tubs. The brown one is a CJ-2a tub which would have come with the ’48 frame. The red tub is a 1949 CJ-3a tub which the only difference is the wheel wells were shortened to allow the seats to be moved back 2” so the driver would have more leg room. I was going to use this tub for some panels to complete the ’48 tub.
