1949 Willys Jeepster The basic Jeepster included numerous deluxe
features and interior fittings in addition to a high level of
standard equipment that cost extra on other automobiles. These
included, among many others, whitewall tires, hubcaps with bright
trim rings, sun visors, deluxe steering wheel, wind wings, locking
glovebox, cigar lighter, and continental tire with fabric cover.
The Jeepster had Willys World War II-proven 134.2 cu in (2.2 L)
straight-4 Go Devil engine, and plastic side curtains, but its
US$1,765 price was about the same as a Ford Super DeLuxe Club
convertible with roll-down windows, fancier styling, and a V8
engine. The car was only offered with rear-wheel drive, thus
limiting its appeal to typical Jeep customers. Its distinctive boxy
styling and performance were praised by automotive journalists.
However, the Jeepster did not catch on with the intended market
segment. Sales were also limited by sparse advertising and an
insufficient dealer network. Strong straight four "Go Devil "engine
