For Sale: 1948 Willys-Overland Jeepster in Sarasota, Florida

Vehicle Description

1948 Willys-Overland Jeepster, Complete Restoration, Go-Devil 4-Cylinder

The 1948 Willys-Overland Jeepster was Willys' stylish entry into the postwar passenger car market-a unique blend of rugged Jeep heritage and open-air motoring. Designed by industrial designer Brooks Stevens, the Jeepster was marketed as a "sports phaeton" and offered a refined yet adventurous alternative to the utilitarian Jeep.

The 1948 Jeepster combined wartime Jeep nostalgia with a more refined, civilian-friendly design. Marketed to returning GIs, it offered stylish open-air motoring at an affordable price. With only a short production run, the Jeepster remains one of the more unique postwar American classics-rare, distinctive, and increasingly collectible.

Own a piece of Jeep history-this restored 1948 Willys Jeepster is ready to enjoy and show.
