    When I left upstate NY, I got rid of her.  Big mistake.

    1948 Willys CJ2A.  135cu in.  4 cyl.  Abt 60 hp (as I recall).  When I got her (1988) she was still army green with canvas seats, 1948 lugged US Army tires and 10 spring leaves front and 11 leaves rear.  Absolutely the roughest ride I have ever experienced (and I once had a buckboard).  Julie wouldn’t ride in it without her “sports bra” on.  Took a lot of leaves
    out, put on big tires at 10 psi.  Better.  This car was made for speeds <50 mph and would do speeds <40 pretty well.  Over 50 at your own risk.  Over 55, it would eject all aboard.  Off road on the mountain logging trails – a blast.  Unstoppable.  I used to carry a chain saw in the back when I went exploring.
