That is the photo I inquired about several years ago. Corbis quoted me $750 for the right to hang a print in my office for one year.
They claimed the rights to it, but could not tell me the date, location or photographer. Better yet, they didn't have the negative. Edited by Joe Friday - 18 Dec. 2014 at 1:34am |

Is that a CJ-2? or a maybe one of the first runs of a 2a that used up some existing MB parts? Interesting mix of MB and 2a features along with what looks like a driver side exhaust and a column shift.
Or maybe Im over thinking it and its a modern- vintage pic with someone's MB-2a

it is either the CJ-1, or a CJ-2....
more likely a CJ-2 because of the MB features with CJ2A over shadows...... white column shift knob? almost thought it was CJ2A #10163 for a second.... lol

It is a CJ2. It is in quite a few of the early sales brochures and movies.
Joe, I was afraid to ask for a price, now I know I won't. I got the same story, no idea when or where it was taken. They acquired it with a collection they got. Only shot they have like that. THey do have alot of other interesting CJ2A shots including one with a capstan winch on the front. Bill

If you are not selling it, or using it for business, why can't you do what you want with a print or picture of that Jeep? A copy is just that, a copy. ??????? John

John, They own the image, so they sell copies of it. I believe they bought it from Acme newspictures Inc. Think of this like a starving artist painting you a potrait. He has one original that he keeps making copies of. He doesn't care that its for your personal use, or your office,but he's going to charge you for painting you a copy. The artist, or this company, has the image (or painting) copyright protected so that the person that buys copies cannot make and sell copies of it either. It protects their interest in making money off of their property and not others. Hope that makes sense. Bill |

Problem is, you can't get a quote unless you open an account, and to open an account you have to agree to their terms (and they track your usage forever after - remember Corbis is owned by Bill gates). That's why I thought it was smart of Bill Norris to post a link instead of cutting and pasting the picture.
I have many original prints, and some negatives, of other pictures they claim the rights to. I asked them how that was possible since I had the original, they had a copy, I knew the photographer, they didn't... We agreed to disagree and I chose not to donate my originals. Bottom line, only a low resolution copy is available unless you have deep pockets. |

Joe, I'd like to think I was that smart, but the truth is, it would not let me embed the picture on this page. I could only do a link. I wasn't about to sign up for an account though. I didn't know this was a Bill Gates company, interesting. He obviously needs the money more than you... Bill

Maybe a offer to trade a copy of yours for one of theirs, no charge!
 They sound pretty stuffy over a print of a old jeep. Is there that big of a market? Maybe we should have CJ2A page prints offered by CJ2A page members. LOL, Thanks for the explanation fellows. John

The simple answer is yes, there is.. especially to those who have a profound interest in the history of Willys and the CJ2A. Anything relevant to the research and documentation of the making of the CJ2A is still very much open ended. Even with Fred Coldwell's "Pre-production" book, that is chock full of factual data, there is still so many unanswered questions.... I for one have seen many colored photos from the period of the CJ2, but they were always Olive Drab, or at best still sporting the remains of WWII hues...... This photo actually opens a new chapter to give some clarity as to what Harvest Tan and Sunset Red were actually perceived to look like....

Actually, that's what I offered. They were very uncooperative. |

Should have checked when I was over at Tremains to see if his bow pickets had the holes on it like the early CJ2A's

Hi Bill,
I just came across an old post of yours where you posted an article referring to Jerry Lynch, who was a dealer in the 40s. It caught my eye because he was my great-gradfather with his son Jerry being my grandfather. Thought i would just take a moment to say hi considering you mentioned that you were friends with my grandfather. best, jeramey lynch |
