The forward mounted mirror on the fender is a decade ahead of it's time...that mod didn't come in until the mid-80s. And the ATU plate does not have it's support bracket running to the grill. Perhaps that is because there is no grill hinges on the CDN2/CDN3 grills, but even so you would think they would simply drill a hole.

Then again, on a Jeep that nice, I wouldn't drill any holes either.

Default Colour decision????

Hi Jerry: Here is a photo of a CDN 2 (green) and a CDN 3 (white) taken in Stanley Park Vancouver a number of years ago. It'll give you some idea of the colour configuration. Based on the photos I've also seen, after the fact, the white jeeps underside of the fenders, were also painted white. The close up shot of the green one gives you an idea of the the decal layout. The green colour was taken from inside the glove box, untouched by sunlight or tarnish.
The last photo is of "trinkets" found in the CDN 2 Jeep during its restoration. Top row are Greek Coins, centre one is a British Coin, third row needs no explanation.
PM me your home email address for some further info......Robert

Default I wish.....

No.... just the green one Wayne. Gave some friends of mine and their kids a tour of Vancouver in that puppy and they said it was the best time they'd ever had on vacation. Had their own mini parade. Robert

Default Well I'll be damned!

You know Frank....for as long as I have known and driven this Jeep (CDN 3), I never noticed that the CFR Numbers were missing. The Jeep belongs to a friend of mine and I'll get in touch with him for the info. Keen eye Sir......Robert
