Vehicle Description
Only built for three years from 1948 through 1950 by the
Willys-Overland Co out of Toledo, OH. It was designed by Brooks
Stevens and was developed to fill a gap in the companys product
line, crossing over from their "Utilitarian" SUV's to the passenger
auto market. A total of almost 20,000 were manufactured and sold.
However, as you can see, Willys lacked the machinery to form
deep-drawn fenders and make styled lines which everyone else was
doing. This particular "Driver" Quality Jeepster is up for your
consideration and would make a lovely addition to being a cottage
or cabin car as it has been for many years in Northern MI. This
vehicle just made a hour trip to our shop with no hiccups. The
paint on this rig is old and has many blemishes, most notably on
the rockers where it is a little crusty. The frame and floor boards
are in good condition, the radio does not work, it does have a
heater, not sure if that works or not. The lights and gauges seem
to work fine, the soft top is in good condition and it does have
side curtains, but they are original and a little frail. This thing
is a blast to drive around town as it starts, runs and drives just
fine.
