Look at that!: A Jeep Willy CJ3A

I humbly admit that if I had come across it on the street I would not have named the model so accurately; instead, after some searching online and a bit of help, I would have identified it, as I have done. But the one who actually found it is the official spotter of Highmotor, Javi in the scene, who spotted it parked on some street in Madrid.

The Jeep Willy CJ3A is a model dating from 1949, shortly after the Second World War, when the American brand was hugely successful among the troops. It replaced the CJ2A and is characterised by its one-piece windscreen; a total of 131,843 CJ3As were produced before production ended in 1953, but this does not diminish the exclusivity of the find, since I don’t think there are many in Spain.

By the way, the military-style decoration that suits it so well does not mean at all that it is an original army vehicle (especially given how expensive those are to obtain); rather, the owner probably decided to add it after restoring it, to show off more in front of his mates.
