Wheels The idea of the Jeep originated with the military, which
needed a low-profile, powerful vehicle with four-wheel drive which
became the world's first mass-produced light four-wheel drive car.
With almost 650,000 units built, the Jeep constituted a quarter of
the total U.S. non-combat motor vehicles produced during the war.
Not only did the Jeep become the workhorse of the American
military, as it replaced the use of horses and other draft animals
in every role, from cavalry units to supply trains, but improvised
field modifications also made the Jeep capable of just about any
other function G.I.s could think of. Moreover: military jeeps were
adopted by countries all over the world, including as far as Africa
and Europe, and to this day is the most widely used and recognized
military vehicle in history. Based on the civilian variant, which
was drawn from the M38A1 military Jeep, the CJ-5 went into
production in 1955. A model that marked a significant departure
from the flat-fender CJs, with its rounded front fender design and
squeezed grille (to accommodate larger headlights). The CJ-5 also
included updates such as a hood and body made of heavy gauge sheet
metal, a larger windshield frame, increased length on the riding
springs, front fitting front adjustable bucket seats, a deeper,
back-lit instrument panel, and rear seating options for 4
passengers. Offered here is a completely customized 1957 Jeep
Willys. Painted in matte gray with black accents, this Jeep is the
perfect truck for any adventure. With no top or doors, this Jeep is
meant for anyone to experience the outdoors and take in all the
sights. Although this truck may not be completely restored, it has
been well kept. It sports Moto Metal black wheels and front winch.

shifter. The engine compartment and chassis have been cleaned up
and put together well with original equipment. A custom interior
sets off the passenger cabin. A bedliner type paint has been used
throughout in preparation for any adventure that this Jeep may
encounter. In addition, custom gauges compliment the CB radio, as
