    Looking through the local paper this morning and noticed an ad for a "1952 Jeep CJ2A. $2300". Am I missing something here? Isn't the '52 a CJ3A? :?

    You are correct. If it is indeed a '52 2A, that would be very rare. Worth millions of $$$$$. :) :D

    the year could be wrong
    the model could be wrong
    all of the above could be wrong

    What I was told was a 56 civilian flatfender turned out to be a 41 MB.
    You never know so make the call.

    I agree with what Kodiak12060 says. These things sometimes are titled in the year title application is made, especially the WWII and other military jeeps.

    I would have to agree, I bought my advertised "1946" Willys sight unseen and it turned out to be a 1941 Slat Grill. Take the time to go see for yourself you might be glad you did.

    You all made some good points. I just assumed it was a 3A, but it could be something completely different and the title says it's a '52 CJ2A. I might have to go check this out, just to see what it is. It isn't that far from me. I'll let you folks know what I find.
