Win a Jeep
 

What is that????
 

Hi there

Okay, jeep-types.

What in the world is that vehicle?

A CJ2??:confused:

It may be 'as used on the TV show M*A*S*H*' but was it used during the Korean war??

Prize delivery
 

read the fine print. The prize "will be delivered by mail". Does that mean my Postie will be carrying it or driving it?

Didn't they do this before???
 

Two or three years ago, I entered the same contest they had goint then, waited for them to announce it on the appropriate date, then nothing.

Looks like the same M38(?) too.

It is a Civilian jeep CJ-2A painted green
 

I am more familiar with the military models, but it is definitely an early Civilian Jeep (thus the CJ) probably the CJ-2A

Key features:
- Drain holes above steps on sides
- bug eye headlights (also seen on M38/M28A1 etc)
- Spare tire mount on right side aft fo wheelwell. (M38 has the holes and could carry a spare there but this was not common)
- Windshield panel has washers and loooks like it has WILLYS in middle (normal for CJ)
- Hood should also have WILLYS on each side, and I don't see it here so has wrong hood I believe.

In Korean War they used mainly WWII MB and GPW jeeps. In the movie and TV series they used a variety of types.

I can't reall off hand if the movie or TV shows used CJ-2A jeeps. Looks like someone probably thought "close" was good enough. A jeep is a jeep is a jeep...
