Spotter's Guide for Trail Jeeps
It could be a CJ2A or a CJ3A, but if you can’t see whether the rear axle is a Dana 41 or a Dana 44 don’t commit to either model. The secret to never being wrong about Jeep identifying is to never give more information than you have to. You can call any Jeep with these picnic-table flat front fenders a “flatfender” or “flattie” and always be right. But to say any more would require you to know that the owner of this ’49 CJ3A still had the one-piece windshield frame, with a functional front air vent, lying on the floor in his garage. By the way, extra points if you identified the flatfender in the background as a WWII-era GPW. Due to the small image we also would have accepted “Willys MB” since these two veterans are virtually identical at this distance.
