Vehicle Description
Worldwide Vintage Autos is pleased to present this 1951 Jeep M38
Willys.
HISTORY
The Willys MC or formally the 1/4-Ton, 4 x 4, Utility Truck M38 was
a quarter-ton four-wheel drive military light utility vehicle made
by Willys between 1949 and 1952. It replaced the World War II
Willys MB and Ford GPW models, and had a total production of more
than 60,000 units. The M38 was a military version of the
then-current civilian Jeep CJ-3A The M38 differed from the CJ-3A in
numerous ways, including a reinforced frame and suspension,
waterproof 24-volt electrical system, sealed vent system for the
engine, transmission, transfer case, fuel system and brake system.
Some M38 jeeps were assigned to the Korean Theatre of Operations,
but the majority of vehicles used in that conflict were rebuilt
World War II vintage. Approximately 2,300 M38 Jeeps were
manufactured by Ford of Canada for Canadian Armed Forces in 1952,
designated as the M38-CDN jeep. Its successor was Willys M38A1.
The M38 windshield could be folded flat for firing and the body was
equipped with a pintle hook for towing and lifting shackles front
and rear. The headlights were no longer recessed as on previous
models, but protruded with a guard wire in front. The "pioneer"
tools (axe and shovel) which were carried on the MB's driver side
were transferred to the passenger side of this vehicle. SOURCE:
