1953 Photo of an Early Experimental Mail Jeep

January 6, 2020 • CATEGORIES: Features, Magazine, Old Images • TAGS: Popular-Science. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This photo and caption appeared in the October 1953 issue of Popular Science (page 124). There are several interesting things in this photo. First, this jeep is setup with right-hand-drive; second, the body has been cut similar to the way some of the DJ-3As would be trimmed on the sides; third, this vehicle is only two-wheel-drive. This is the earliest photo that I know showing an experimental mail jeep that, arguably, led to the DJ-3A Dispatcher/Delivery/Convertible production models. The picture, without the caption, can also be found on the CJ-3B page about mail jeeps.

Runs and drives.

“1953 Willy’s CJ3B Jeep I have owned this almost a year. The previous owner completely rebuilt the original 4 cylinder engine. It has 685 miles on it since rebuilt engine. He also put a new lift, suspension, bearings, wheels,tires,etc. on this Jeep. Since I have had it I had it raptor lined black on the inside and red on the outside. I also had the roll bar installed, custom front bumper made with the light bar, a small winch installed, new front seats, and a custom third backseat installed. The body is in good as shape S you can expect for a 53 but with the liner on it should last forever now. It slipped out of 2nd gear as most so without a new kit installed.. however I have the new $300 kit just haven’t installed it yet. Runs and drives great. The only reason I’m parting with it is because I just purchased two CJ’s. No trades and clear Missouri title in hand.”
