1948 Willys Jeep

GR Auto Gallery of Indy is pleased to offer this 1948 Jeep CJ-2A for your consideration. Though Jeep claims their origin as 1941, the first civilian Jeeps did not roll off the production line until 1945. The first civilian Jeeps were given headlights flush with the grille and a 7-slot grille instead of the military-grade 9-slot grille. The CJ is powered by a 2.2L I4 engine that is mated to a T-90 3-speed manual transmission. Both the engine and transmission are widely regarded as bulletproof and easy to maintain if anything does happen to go wrong. The Jeep rides on 6-00-16 military tires on steel wheels. Drive this one out of our showroom or have us assist with shipping it to you anywhere in the United States!

Willys was a brand name used by Willys-Overland Motors, an American automobile company best known for its design and production of military Jeeps (MBs) and civilian versions (CJs) during the 20th century. The lessons learned with the CJ-2 led to the development of the first full-production CJ, the 1945-1949 Willys-Overland CJ-2A. The CJ-2A looked very much like a civilian version of the MB tailgate and side-mounted spare tire. One major difference between the MB and the CJ-2A was the grilles of the two vehicles. The MB had recessed headlights and nine-slot grilles while the CJ-2A had larger headlights flush-mounted in a seven-slot grille. In place of the MB's T-84 transmission, the CJ-2A was equipped with the beefier T-90 three-speed transmission. The CJ-2A was still powered by the reliable L-134 Go-Devil engine.
