Specific: Around 1947 an unknown number of
vehicles was acquired. The shown vehicle was used as cable layer by
the Signals. In the background a Ford WOT6.
Historical: Development of what was to become
the CJ-2A began in December 1944 and 1 CJ-1 and 40 CJ-2
prototype vehicles had been made. Neither models came
into production.
The differences from the wartime Willys MB included
strengthened transmission and clutch, a hinged rear
tailgate and 7 inch sealed-beam headlights.
The OD colour had gone and the body was available in
grey, blue, tan or brown gloss paint.
A brief flirtation with the name "Agrijeep"
took place but the name was never adopted, and the new
vehicle was marketed as the "Universal Jeep
CJ-2A".
Quantity production of the CJ-2A took place from July
1945 and when it ceased in 1949 close to 215.000 units
had been made.
