CJ-3A ROAD TEST

Post by Joe Gopan » Tue Dec 19, 2017 5:16 pm

I took the road test for my drivers license in a gray 1951 CJ-3A that formerly belonged to Fisher Engineering. It was their test Jeep used to test Fisher Snow Plows. Our family business was the first Fisher Snow Plow dealer. I removed the canvas so that I could see better, a half mile into the road test it started to pour and the examiner said "let's go back, you have your license."
