Let’s end the year on this cheery note. This article discussed the usefulness of jeeps following atomic bomb attacks and other, more natural disasters. It filled two pages of the June 1955 issue of Willys News. Given the ‘blast’ artistry in the middle of the article, it didn’t reformat for the web as easily as most articles.
One more Santa post. Jalopnik posted this rendition of Santa driving a ‘jeep’ that was painted by Australian James Higgins Quirk in the 1950s. The original image is part of a digital collection at the Museum Victoria.
Blaine spotted this new pedal jeep for sale at Genuine Hot Rod.
“This pedal car captures the look of that classic flat-fendered trail runner preferred by all-terrain kids. It’s constructed of durable stamped steel, with smooth-turning pedals and steering, and steel wheels wrapped in soft, knobbed tires. Measures 33 1/2” L x 16” W x 15” H, perfect for kids 3-6 years old.”

Here’s a heart warming story of a boy, a girl, a jeep and a Merry Christmas!
Mike writes, I wanted to take the time to share with you my Christmas present from my girlfriend. She arranged to have a local artist put together a liquor/wine bar made from the back end of a 49′ Willys. Don’t worry, the jeep was beyond repair. This bar is catered towards my specific hobbies such as my 46′ Willys, my love for Scotch, plus a few other things. I think she’s a keeper!!! Both my girlfriend and the bar!
Joe Snodgrass (aka Joe from Mesa) was visiting his folks for the holidays and had a chance to go through some old albums of his father’s and grandfather’s. He found a few jeeps.

“1946 Willys rust free super original condition barn find one of a kind”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was For Trade.
“I’ve come across hard times, and need to sell/trade my 1949 Willys Wagon.
It’s in very good shape for its age, and is 99% original, with a few upgrades.
I don’t really really want to throw a price out, but will say I could use a strong running full size truck or van, looks aren’t as important. Preferably a manual trans., and 4 wheel drive. Something that will tow a small household, and something ready to drive across country right now, with no major problems. I’m willing to trade outright, or throw in some cash.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5600.
(10/30/2014) The driver’s side step is a little bent.
“946 CJ2A
Original motor
2 sets of wheels and tires
M416 trailer w/canvas”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
Non-running.
“1947 CJ2A Willys Jeep. Jeep appears to be all original but will need some work. This old Willys spent most if not all of it’s life on a cattle ranch above Springville, CA. It has the original L134 flathead motor and the motor is free but I haven’t tried to start it. Most of the floor forward of the cargo area is rusted out and will have to be replaced. The original square cornered windshield with the push out two part center glass is included but that also needs some work.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4400
(05/20/2014) There’s a transfercase shifter missing. Runs and drives.
“Rare model. Only 50,172 made from 1955 to 1975. It has a 20 inch longer wheel base than the cj5. Original Dauntless 225 v6 Buick Fireball manufactured by Kaiser.

Extra windshield with motor and misc moldings.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3300.
(09/24/2014) Seller says this ‘will’ go fast. Unclear if it currently goes fast.
“1949 jeep willy– must see!! It will go fast! A very nice project, no rust, clean title, need to connect the gas tank, front lights, I have many extra parts ( new & original) Again this is a PROJECT.. ONLY SERIOUS BUYERS! Also you will need a trailer to take the jeep… Thank you“
Mosquito abatement departments powered a large number of jeep sales. This June 1955 article highlights the sale of jeeps to the Chicago District’s South Cook County area.
Whether dragging wood or ferrying kids, this april 1956 article in Willys News reported that jeeps were used in a variety of ways. Unfortunately, no pics were included.
Looks like a comfortable place to sleep to me.
“1944- U.S. soldier naps on hood of jeep 5 minutes away from the French invasion coast on D-Day.”
