Purchase Day

I purchased a 1947 CJ2A Jeep on January 22, 2011. It is dark blue which may indeed be the original color, Normandy Blue. The wheels are painted black; the original colors for wheels with Normandy Blue bodies were Sunset Red and Autumn Yellow with either a Normandy Blue or an American Black pin stripe. The serial number or VIN is 100550 which if one assumes a linear production schedule for 1947 this Jeep rolled off the assembly line in early April.The mileage when I purchased it was 18,418.
