1955 CJ-5 Detroit, Mi $2750 w/plow

This stock looking CJ-5 with a great half cab has some cool hubcaps and some early formula desert dogs.  This might just be the last jeep you'll see with both hubcaps & desert dogs.  This appears to have the early CJ-5 reversed front springs, too.  I like it.

"Very solid steel cab on rough body. Plow is Full Hydraulic Up-Down and Left-Right from Inside Cab and is 6 1/2 ft. wide. Engine is 232 straight six cylinder, three speed on floor. Runs like a tank, Very strong, Very low overall gear ratios. Will deliver, per mile rate. Call: two six O / four one O / six five O one."

    Good point .. actually, if you check out the fender, someone installed later model cj-5 fenders, which moves the bottom edge of the fenders forward approx 3". Installing the early fenders ought to help this look better. - Dave
