Even before the end of the Second World War, Willy’s knew that they had a winner on their hands with the model MB jeeps that they were building for the government. As early as 1944, Willy’s had started preliminarily tests on MBs as a postwar civilian product. The first fruit of that labor was the CJ-2, as in “Civilian Jeep, Type 2” as opposed to the modified MBs that were called CJ-1s. On July 17, 1945, the first of a long line of civilian Jeeps went into production. It was called the CJ-2A. In many ways, the CJ-2A was very similar to the wartime MB (and Ford GPW), but there were some significant changes for the Jeep’s new life outside of military applications. These included the addition of a tailgate, relocation of the fuel filler to the outside of the body, moving the spare tire carrier to the right side of the body towards the rear, and the addition of large exposed headlights and a seven-slat grille. Initially, the Jeep continued to use the same basic “Go Devil” flathead four-cylinder engine that predated the war, but several changes were made in late 1946, the most notable being the utilization of gear drive instead of chain drive for the camshaft.
