1945 Willys Jeep CJ-2A serial#11654. This is one of 1,824 units produced in the last half of 1945 for civilian use.
This vehicle seems to have been produced with some parts from earlier “Willys” that might cause confusion with some historians. Some believe that this is possible due to available production parts when converting the vehicle from the military “Willys” to the first year civilian CJ-2A. Both “Willys” and “Jeep” are stamped into the engine cylinder head, making this a first-year production Jeep. Prior to the CJ-2A, all of these vehicles were known as “Willys”.
There is what appears to be an original factory plate with CJ-2A 11654 attached to the front frame of the vehicle. There is also a “Willys” stamped plate that appears to not be an original plate (probably a reproduction plate) attached to the dashboard of vehicle that states the vehicle is a 1942 “Willys”, as is stated on the vehicle Title. However, based on that the front steering is connected under the radiator, tailgate and “Jeep” stamped into the cylinder head and the factory plate attached to the front frame showing CJ-2A, we feel the vehicle is not a 1942 and is a 1945 CJ-2A.
