Hasn’t been started in several years. It’s had some body work.

“For sale a 1949 Willys CJ2A. I have owned this jeep for 20 years and it’s been garage kept since I’ve had it. Have not attempted to start it in several years so it definitely needs some mechanical TLC but the body and frame are solid. No rust. If I remember correctly the previous owner did an off the frame restoration. I’d love to see it running again but I just don’t have the time or know how. $5,000 OBO. NO TRADES.”

“Unsure of mileage and year. Runs and plows, 4×4 works, tire chains, and no title. Will not part out! What you see is what you get. Serious buyers only!! Possibly trade for farm tractor in decent condition or hunting stuff plus cash.”

1946 Testimonial from the Wachusett Country Club

UPDATE: Last posted October 12, 2017

The photo of the jeep underneath the letter shows it without bow holders, but with an extra spare tire carrier. Does this mean the country club ordered it this way? Were the bow holders ever installed? There have been a couple early 2As that appeared unrestored, but without bow holders. I’ve wondered if they could be ordered that way.

From 2015: Africa USA, was part of a theme-park movement in the late 1950s that included New York’s Freedomland, Disneyland, Wisconsin’s Fort Dells, and others. By 1959, these parks were collectively generating revenue of $2 billion.

There is a feature article about these parks in the August 1, 1960, issue of Life Magazine. The picture below is from that article. You can take a ‘virtual’ jeep-train tour of Africa USA here (don’t expect much)

This article appeared in the December 1955 issue of Willys News. That’s the jeep train behind the animals.
