Marc found another set of Everglade photos. This time there are multiple CJ-2As with a push-bumper setup. Here’s the previous set of Everglade photos. This seller also has some photos of early swamp buggies, too.

“As described in the title and shown in the scans below, this is a set of three original snapshot photos that were taken around 1950 with diagnostics being the “Kodak Velox Paper” watermarks on the back and in comparison to other dated photos from the same estate. The area is the Florida Everglades somewhere in the vicinity of the Collier and Dade County lines. We don’t know who the uniformed men or the civilians are. The photos are in bright and clean condition though they have corner clipping, tape residue, photo paper curl and even some creasing. They each measure approx. 3.25″ x 4.5″.”

UPDATE: Glenn mentioned a photo, along with this Al-Toy post from 2012. So, I’ve added Glenn’s comment and the photo to which he refers.

 

Glenn wrote, “All the Overland Heavy Hitters are here. Cast Iron Charlie Sorensen, came to Willys to escape Henry’s Henchmen, Ward Canaday, last of the old bankrupt Depression crew. I don’t remember Mr. Paris, but Colin and I shared Mr. Bell in the photo of the Al-Toy above.”

I’ve seen this photo, but not the included caption.

“This is an original press photo. GH BellPhoto measures 10.25 x 8inches. Photo is dated 09-27-1945.”

Lots of information about the rebuild.

http://siskiyou.craigslist.org/cto/4287830713.html

For Sale: One of a Kind 1947 Willy’s WWII Military Jeep (CJ-2A)

This Jeep has been carefully rebuilt from the ground up over 3 years by my father, a retired certified ASEA mechanic. Starting from a sandblasted frame, new-off-shelf (N.O.S) parts were used whenever possible. Every piece has been carefully rebuilt and reassembled – you won’t find a cleaner, or more authentic rebuild of a 1947 Willy’s. Lots of fun to take off-road, or cruise around town with the windshield down. See below for details on each component. Thanks!

Engine has been changed to an F-head.

“I have a 1944 Willys Jeep for sale. Original F head motor that runs, manual transmission. Jeep has no rust on it. I had plans to turn it into a fun project, but I went and joined The United States Marine Corps, now its sitting in my fathers back yard. Has the original front seats, frame has been gone through and fully tubed. Roll cage is still there also. Only thing missing on this jeep is the gauges.
