   That has a mid-mount spare because it is a photo of an Agri-jeep. Notice too, the tractor pattern tread that these came with.

   I had wondered that, but didn't have enough info to verify. So, I wonder if its s a stock photo of some kind or the seller bought an Agri-jeep.

   Chuck, These were testimonials sought by the Willys-Overland marketing department for a sales binder circa 1948-1949. You can see a wide variety of these 1946-1948 letters here: http://www.ewillys.com/tag/1946-testimonials/ - Dave

   12,000 miles in six months in 1946. WOW!

   That is impressive. A slight diversion. For some reason, Dave's comment reminded me that Ernie Pyle had a chance to meet and interview Ernie Cannonball Baker in the late 1930s. In the book Home Country, Ernie described some of the Baker's driving records. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erwin_Baker

   That's the stock photo of the AgriJeep used by Meyers equipment in Cleveland Ohio when they were developing plows.
