1951 Willys Jeepster
01
Artifact Overview
Willys-Overland built more than half of the 650,000 jeeps manufactured for the Allies during World War II. Afterward, Willys sold civilian versions. The Jeepster, produced for the 1948-1951 model years, was a somewhat more stylish and refined version of the basic jeep. Willys marketed the two-wheel-drive Jeepster as a "sports phaeton," ideal for country drives but easy to maneuver through city traffic.
