Thanks to Joe-in-Mesa for finding these two toys and scoring them for only $20 (for both). Neither are pristine, but they will work in my collection.

According to this thread, the words to the song are as follows:

Jeep Jeep thats’s what they call it, Just needs a G.I. to hold it,
Bounc-ing o-ver road and lane, driv-ing this tune round my brain.
Have you ev-er tried THE RHYTHM OF THE JEEP its a gal-lop and a wriggle not a creep,

You must find a lease.and-len-der, who is just a sol – id send-er but be carefull you don’t end up in a heap
When you hear a rat-tle and a little hoot Then its time for you to shake a dainty boot—-

All the book-ies will be leap-ing and the Ser-geant Ma-jor weep-ing
When they get THE RHYTHM OF THE JEEP

You bend your knees– and then you boog-ie to your partner with a Beep – Beep – Beep – Beep, You cud-dle up,
but you had bet-ter watch your drivin cause your’e tak-ing a ride in a Jeep.

Jack and Jill no long-er ling-er on a hill
Now-a -days they’re Su-sy -que-ing with a will

At the Palais you will find them with the gang all there behind them Jiv-ing to THE RHYTHM OF THE JEEP——

1948? CJ-2A? Stockton, CA $3800

• CATEGORIES: News This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

TJ spotted this survivor that runs and drives. Has an F-head. It’s listed as a 1948, but the body may be CJ-3A, though it looks like the radiator attaches from underneath, so it might be a very early 3A.
