1956 CJ-5 Ad
UPDATE: I mistakenly listed this as a 1954 ad. It am told it was actually a 1956 ad.
Andy spotted and bought this 1956 CJ-5 ad on eBay. The jeep has an odd look about it. I think it’s the 1) skinny fenders, 2) thinner than normal hood and 3) odd grille. It makes it feel a little bit like some kind of CJ-4 (though the actual CJ-4 has flattish fenders). The headlights on the grille in the ad look more like 7″ headlights on an MB grille.
For comparison, a 1955 CJ-5:

1957 CJ-5 Largo, FL **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $499.
Not sure how much value is here.
“no title.
Rolling Chasis – no motor or trans, or transfer case.
It has both front and rear diffs. No Windshield. Solid frame, rusty body , but I think savable.
I bought this and want to make something cool out of it, but recognize I won’t have time to get to it for at least a year and I am paying $40 per month in storage fees. So it is with a heavy heart that I put it for sale at a reasonable price hoping someone else has the time to do this rig some justice.
Price JUST reduced to only $499 – not one penny less! Located in the Largo Florida area.”

The mini-vehicles use a four stroke, 6,5 hp petrol engines and have specially developed mechanics for complete safety and long-lasting enjoyment.

“1947 Willys CJ2A Jeep with 1947 Bantam trailer. Experience the vehicle that started it all, completely restored inside and out. Every nut and bolt is either original or exact replacement (size, thread pitch, head configuration) comes with complete 11 piece multiple configuration canvas top and bows.
Has been driven occasionally, I’m getting too old to get in and out of this thing. It will go just about anywhere. 12 forward speeds and 4 in reverse (high and low range plus Warn Overdrive. 7 new tires (6.00 x 16 military) all worn parts replaced. It does leak a bit of oil (I’ve never seen a Jeep that didn’t) I have many spare parts and accessories that will go with the Jeep if sold at full price. I’ve driven this to 12,000 feet in the Rockies and it ran perfectly all the way up and down.
