GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1950 Willys
Overland-Jeepster, a timeless icon of post-war American automotive
ingenuity. This stunning example is adorned in a sophisticated
two-tone silver and metallic grey paint scheme, accentuating its
classic lines and vintage charm. The Jeepster was designed to
bridge the gap between utilitarian jeeps and passenger cars,
offering a unique blend of rugged durability and stylish
comfort.
Under the hood, this Jeepster features the historic 2.2L Go Devil
inline-4 engine, which was originally developed during World War II
for use in military vehicles. Known for its simplicity and
durability, the Go Devil engine played a crucial role in the war
effort and subsequently found its way into various civilian models,
including the Jeepster. Paired with a 3-speed manual transmission
with overdrive, this powertrain setup represents a significant
piece of automotive history.
The interior of this Jeepster is a true testament to its era,
featuring two complete bench seats upholstered in a wonderful
patterned fabric that adds a touch of elegance to its rugged
persona. Wood slats run the length of the rear portion of the
interior, offering a classic touch and practical utility. The
split-fold rear hatch adds versatility, making it easier to access
the rear cargo area, and the Willys Overland heater ensures comfort
during cooler days.
The Willys Overland-Jeepster has a rich history, being one of the
few open-bodied vehicles produced in the post-war period. It was
designed by industrial designer Brooks Stevens and aimed at the
emerging leisure market. Introduced in 1948, the Jeepster combined
the ruggedness of the military Jeep with the comforts of a
passenger vehicle. Despite its short production run, ending in
1950, the Jeepster left a lasting legacy and is now a cherished
classic among collectors and enthusiasts.
