1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep

The 1947 Willys-Overland CJ-2A stands as one of the earliest civilian Jeeps ever produced, directly derived from the battle-proven military MB of World War II.

Showing just 38,487 miles, it presents as a well-preserved and thoughtfully refreshed classic that blends authenticity with drivability—ideal for collectors or enthusiasts seeking a vintage 4x4 with real character.

The famous Jeep CJ by Willys-Overland is a story of smarts. Since World War II was ending soon, Willys-Overland knew that their biggest customer – the US Military – would soon be ending their massive orders for the famous World War II military Jeep that mobilized Americans and allies across the European Theatre of Operations. So, they turned it into a civilian vehicle, aimed at agricultural and other light industrial uses. This proved to be harder than expected, because a civilian Jeep must survive hard use for years, not months. Nevertheless, they succeeded in a massive way. In fact, today, the Jeep CJ continues in spirit through its direct descendant, the Jeep Wrangler! Now, we have a 1947 Willys Jeep CJ-2A for sale from Maupin, Oregon. This is a great way to pick up an earlier CJ and see just how utilitarian and purposeful it was back then. In fact, over 214,000 were made between 1945 and 1949!

The Willys CJ-2A is part of a series of vehicles that would spark off a legacy and a brand that is known today as Jeep. 1944 saw the Willys-Overland company start producing a series of civilian jeeps that are based on their popular World War II military jeep. The CJ-2A was the first production model with a four-year run spanning 1945-1949.

We all know the story of the Willys Jeep, conceived by Willys-Overland for civilian use when World War II was ending.
