UPDATE: Just to emphasize, this is a recreated version of the original painting.
Thanks to Scott for this link. The sale is for a 22 x 28 inch painting made by an artist named Daves from the original version of this image by Sessions. According to the seller, this painting was used as the cover image for Ray Cowdery’s book All American Wonder II.

“Here is the opportunity to own the original painting that was used for the by now iconic book on WWII jeeps ‘All American Wonder II’ by Ray Cowdery. The book is a ‘bible’ for any WWII jeep enthusiast and/or restorer. The author had this oil painting made by an artist of the name Daves to resemble a WWII Willys advertising by Sessions. It graces the cover of his book, and this painting is the only original in the world. On the back a large rubber stamp of the author and his former address. It looks amazing, the colors are vibrant, there are of course no holes or other damage. It looks amazing even unframed and will become a centerpiece in anyone’s jeep collection.”
READ CAREFULLY, This is NOT an original painting commissioned by Willys Overland, but a reproduction painting commissioned for a book cover by a local artist. Just wanted to point this out, price wise, may have been a piece of history if original, but for a reproduction, OVER PRICED INDEED. The listing seems to be written to mislead.
Mike … agreed. I don’t think I emphasized that enough either.
