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!
