Herald MUST have been a Combat Engineer in the war! {"we have done so much with so little for so long, we can now do ANYTHING with NOTHING in NO TIME FLAT!"}

Not an army jeep. CJ2a.

You would think that if anyone should recognize it as a civilian jeep it would be a jeep company newspaper!

I realize the article says old military jeep and I'm pretty confident that the military owned a few CJ2a's so the article may not be entirely incorrect. 2A guys would know.... Any pics out there of CJ2a's in the service? Do they have military data plates?

Fair point Josh. I have yet to see specific numbers on military 2As, but I am under the impression there were some purchased by the military and/or coast guard. However, they were so rare that it is unlikely the one in the photo is one of those.

You know how it goes, every jeep is an old "Army" Jeep! Of course this was 1956, but maybe everyone had that impression.
