look!HISTORY. As WWII slowly wound down, Willys-Overland recognized
the need for a civilian jeep that would increase the efficiency and
overall agricultural productivity for farmers, as most of them were
home coming from the war. During this time, there were 5.5 million
farmers in the U.S, and of those, more than 4 million had neither a
truck nor tractor.This in turn led to the first mass production of
the CJ-2A in late 1945 with the aim of replacing the common farm
workhorses; in fact, the CJ-2A was marketed by Willys-Overland as
"The All-Around Farm Work-Horse." The CJ-2A was just as efficient
as two horses, operating at a speed of 4 miles per hour, 10 hours a
day, without overheating the Go-Devil engine engine.
Willys-Overland also advertised the CJ-2A as "A Powerhouse on
Wheels," pitching it as supplementary to all farm and agricultural
needs. The CJ-2A was known to be the model that served agriculture
and industry all over the world.
