ModMike shared this odd video on Facebook that includes a CJ-2A. I finally tracked down a Youtube version. Can anyone explain it?

Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .

Jeep could use a “tight steer”.
That’s enough weight in the back for ‘power steering’
And I thought my steering was loose!
Could that Jeep be on a trailer? Seems 16 people in one little Jeep would make it really unstable traveling, particularly when the driver is moving the steering wheel all over the place – and it doesn’t seem to respond.
Looks like they are all on a trailer. You couldn’t fit that many men on a Jeep. The steering wheel looks like it’s not hooked up.
I think this is, (and what do I know) a very early style of film production similar to today’s music videos. The Jeep is actuly standing still with a pre-filmed backdrop, the entire production, most likely done in a studio. To give credence to my theory, look at the vehicles in the background, all American cars from the 1950’s. Notice the only movement from the people in the Jeep in from the steering movement of the drivers hands, just to make it look like he’s driving.
Not filmed in studio with backdrop , notice shadows as it moves and yes it is the Middle East , Turkey imported all kinds of American cars . My guess is it’s pulled by some kind of tow bar set up . Most shots of this kind in Hollywood the car is on a trailer , but this looks like it is not .
