Vehicle Description
This 1950 Willys Jeepster is the cool-cruising classic convertible
that keeps its vintage style correct, right down to the details. So
if you love something that is eye-catching and also gets true
respect from the traditionalists, dig into all the details on this
two-tone droptop.
A '50s classic always looks nice in two-tone. That's especially
true because of the way the full trim package encircles the whole
car and provides a distinct separating line for the red and black.
And there's more nice brightwork on the grille and chrome bumpers
with the correct overriders. The whole package is absolutely
vintage without looking like the kind of trailer queen that gets
nervous about hitting the road (you'll see more of that
driver-friendly attitude as you look over the whole Jeepster.)
Also, take some extra time with the details. The wheels have a
terrific look with a correct wheel cover, white pinstripe, and
bias-ply whitewalls. The whole package is even on the rear-mounted
full-size spare. And take note that both sides have the correct
step plates. It just makes you imagine how this one was a beach
machine, and friends getting picked up along the way would just hop
in the back without opening the door.
The folding top appears newer, and when combined with the side
curtains, it does a nice job of sealing up this classic. Of course,
the whole point of owning a Jeepster is being able to enjoy
open-top motoring. That's why the two-tone style continues on the
inside to give this a nicely coordinated attitude. The red and
black are nicely intertwined on the seats, door panels, and dash.
And just like the outside, it's nicely detailed with the white
piping on the seats coordinating with the factory dual-spoke
steering wheel. It keeps the vintage attitude with providing nice
features, like the large central-mounted speedometer and a working
heater in case the weather turns cold. There's even a proper AM
radio still on display.
While this has the appeal of a seldom-seen Willys, the other reason
to love these is under the hood. The 134 cubic-inch motor is
related to the same hardy units that went into the first military
Jeeps. Since these have a cool history, it's great to have such an
honest-looking engine bay. And they way this runs strong reaffirms
that it has been properly maintained. It goes down the road nicely,
especially since the column-shifted three-speed manual transmission
gives you a great vintage feeling while also giving you full
control over the torque-ready motor.
This is the droptop classic that was made for you to enjoy to the
fullest. So if you love two-tone Willys distinction, call
