The legendary
workhorse of American soldiers in World War II was transformed by
Willys-Overland in a CJ, with the goal of putting horses grazing farms.
The rugged and
versatile CJ-2A was marketed by Willys-Overland as "The multifunction
horse farm." He could do two Percherons task of great height, operating at
a speed of four miles per hour for 10 hours a day, without the engine to
overheat. The CJ-2A "Universal" was intended to provide services to
agriculture and industry, worldwide, in a thousand ways.

also the CJ-2A advertised as "A power on wheels" and launched so as a
work vehicle as a mobile source of energy. We designed a variety of
agricultural and industrial tools for use in conjunction with a bootable

allowing regular 1.000 to 2.600 rpm engine speed. Despite the excess vehicles

The Jeepster (VJ) was the last car hood
open phaeton style produced by an American manufacturer, which used side
curtains for protection against the elements rather than ventanas.Brooks
Stevens, the famous designer of Willys-Overland Jeepster intended the American
sports car was a low price. Eventually, the price came to about $ 1,900, which

JEEP CJ-3A HISTORY :
JEEP CJ-3A |
The CJ-3A is considered by many to be the
precursor of recreational vehicles. Launched in late 1948, the CJ-3A was very
similar to the previous model, but brought refinements CJ-2A above including: A
one-piece windshield vents on the bottom and double wipers installed on the
bottom, one stronger transmission, transfer case and stronger rear axle, Spicer
44-2.The engines were visually identical to the "Go-Devil" Series 2,
but had revised tolerances on pistons and valves, as well as also a different
steering wheel. Had more legroom and front passenger knee (passengers traveling
back had less legroom). An agricultural version was offered from 1951 to 1953,
which included many of the features requested most farmers, including hydraulic
winch, a governor of the engine, a tow bar, guards for the drive shaft and
heavy duty springs. A method of preparing PTO in the rear and additional
ballasts were opcionales.El Jeep front bumper Tractor was an economic version
of the CJ-3A. It was extremely basic, to the point of having a single seat, not
having headlights or front shocks, horn, or windshield tailgate. The Tractor
Jeep offered a 3-point hydraulic winch and tow bar ... and a lot of stamina!
The CJ-3A could easily distinguish the CJ-2A by its one-piece windshield.
