What was the color of the engine and engine parts on the early jps?
ANSWER 1: The chassis, engine, air cleaner were all glossy black. They were not the flat black (or satin black) that other manufacturer’s used. [Todd Paisley CJML] QUESTION 2: Did this continue throught the fiftys with all jeeps (L and F head) or was it model specific i.e. CJ2A? (I’ve got a ’54 3B and was just wondering). ANSWER 2: I don’t have any authoritative information on original undercarriage and engine parts paint on CJ-3B’s, but I haven’t seen much that would contradict the theory that it was generally glossy black.
