Chris shared this article from September 09, 1954, about jeeping in Virginia. The article’s page was rolled a bit when scanned, so the title isn’t completely clear, but I believe the headline should be “Jeep Jaunts Over Rugged Mountain Trails is Now Popular Sport in Gap”. Thankfully, better pics from this article were posted to Facebook.
Jeepney Phase-Out Plan Illustration
Artist Roni Santiago created this illustration as a comment to the Philippine phase-out of the Jeepneys (posted by Mario to FB). It seems to be a riff off the Bill Mauldin illustration of the solider with a gun pointed at a tired old jeep.
Bill Mauldin’s famous illustration (as reprinted on the cover of the Nov 1992 Smithsonian):
And as seen in a sculpture at the Shidoni Gallery near Sante Fe:
1951 CJ-3A Massapequa, NY $12,500

“Rare 1952 jeep Willy’s ground up restoration runs and drives also has plow 4cylinder 3speed new roof no rust new price this is a great buy”
1948 CJ-2A Glenburn, ME $9500
The body has had some bodywork, but is supposed to run. It has a Ford GPW block that was rebuilt in Germany.

“1948 Willys CJ2A, powered by a “Go Devil” L134 4 cylinder flathead engine. 3speed T90 transmission and Dana 18 transfer case. Jeep runs and drives good, shifts through all the gears and 4wd works in high and low range. The brake shoes and wheel cylinders were recently replaced, including the brake shoes on the back of the transfer case. Complete new exhaust from the manifold back.
There is evidence the jeep has had body work during its lifetime, the body is very solid with no major rust. In my opinion the jeep has a killer look and I would run it as is. Tires all hold air, due to age and sidewall cracking I would replace them before running this any distance in the road.
According to the data tag on the side of the engine it was rebuilt at Karlsfeld Ordnance Depot outside Munich Germany in 1953. The engine runs extremely well and has the best oil pressure I have seen on a L134. The block I’m told is a late WWII block and has a Ford GPW head on it. Priced below market value at $9,500”
1953 CJ-3B Ewing, Nj $4000

Fiberglass Tub Grover, NC $300
The rear wheel wells have been cut (to push seats back farther) and their are a large number of bolts through the passenger side of the body (why??), so it’s hard to say for sure how much value is here, but I suspect this body is savable. I’ve saved worse. Thanks to Mike for spotting it.
