It's a '48 2A, pretty much all original, though it was resprayed 30-40 years ago. One of the nicest things was that the inner windshield frame was solid, only surface rust.

It's not the "correct"windshield frame for a '48, but there it is...

A '48 would have had the "lollipop" type inner frame arms and a latch for holding the inner frame closed. It looks from here like that windshield frame is for an MB or GPW. Also, it's going to be about 2" too low for any 2A top.

The windshield is stamped Willys though. Were MBs also stamped that way? Feels more like someone just put an early CJ2A windshield frame on it.

Oh well, if it is stamped WILLYS but has the MB-type hold open arms, then it is a very early civilian w/s frame. It should have the square washers on the front too, I think. MBs did not have WILLYS stamped on the w/s frame.
