Beaches, off-road, and highways all conquered by this Jeep.
Jeep made a big name for itself in the late 1940s and early 1950s for their incredible feats both on the battlefield as well as the American roadways. Everything from conquering mud bogs to rock climbs could be accomplished with the right Jeep model. However, most people don’t know that Jeeps are also in the business of making good road cars for their time as well. One of the main proponents of showcasing Jeeps versatility both on and off the road was called the Willys Jeepster.
Under the hood of this 1950 example is a sturdy six cylinder engine that produces more than enough power for daily driving. On top of that, it had a lot of cool suspension features before its time which had pretty much made the brand and icon up to that point. All of this is perfectly tied together with a three speed manual transmission. If you’ve ever driven a manual truck, you’ll know that they’re some of the most fun vehicles out there because you focus less on speed and more on the tactile experience of driving.
Thankfully, the red and white exterior seems to have been kept in perfect condition, or possibly restored at some point. It’s important for these old vehicles to look nice and shiny because it shows off the style of its time. Back in the day, it was a real sign of great taste to have a very shiny, very polished car body. That’s exactly why this 1950 Willys Jeepster is so eye-catching making it the perfect candidate for your next automotive purchase.
