A Very Shiny 1953 CJ-3B Restoration Found at the Autorama in Deteroit

The Autorama in Detroit is a very fun car show and for the most part that's exactly what it is, a "car" show. Amongst all of the hotrods sat Josh with his stunning 1953 CJ-3B, a Michigan Jeep that has been restored by Josh and his father. The most amazing part may be that the data plate mounted to the dash is original to the Jeep and in perfect condition! Autorama 2022 had very few Jeeps, but we were glad to find Josh and his little red flat fender!

It is nice to see someone do a completely original restoration and not a restomod. Great job!

Beautiful 3B. I grew up in the back of a 3B my dad bought it new. Good memories in Colorado.

That's my buddy Josh! We went to HS together. He's a great guy and that 3B is gorgeous!

Awesome! Send him the link we lost his contact info since the video was actually filmed a while ago. Hope he is still doing well and loving his Jeep

I saw one at Jeep the Mac a while back, maybe 2018-ish? Would that have been his too? Amazing job on it!
