Jeep Willys T-shirt - Love My Willys
The 1945-1963 Willys models remain especially prized by collectors, and many of them have grown to be as or more valuable as AMC's CJ-8 Scrambler. Over the years, there have been a number of novelty Jeeps that cost a pretty penny. Let's highlight a few of the rarest and most valuable Willys Jeeps
After the war ended, Willlys morphed the MA and its MB successor into the CJ-2A, which was marketed to farmers and construction workers as a do-anything utility vehicle. In 1946, Willys introduced the Wagon, which had an all-steel body despite looking like it featured wood-grain panels on the sides. This effect was achieved by using three different shades of paint instead of wood cladding like other vehicles. This lent the Willys Wagon an element of durability and cut down on annoying squeaks and rattles. The upright body with two-piece rear gate and glass was designed by Brooks Stevens, and the rear seats were removable to make room for more cargo.
