Glad to hear you saying the brand name name correctly!....song "Tribute" by Tenacious D

I’m a Willys wanderer. Sign me up for the Jeepster and the Jeep truck. If you think a Jeepster rides rough, try a Crosley and stay off the freeway! Brooke Stevens always came up with the best designs for companies on limited budgets.

Almost forgot, my dad had one of these. We lived on top of a big hill outside of Ithaca NY. The school bus would not come up there so we had to wait at a buss hut, little more than a lean-to. My dad got a contract to get the kids to this hut and so he had this four wheel drive jeep to gather us up. He made up this little bench for the back with oil cloth over cotton batting. There were a lot of bad winters in those days but it seems that little jeep did its job.

I'm surprised you didn't use the song "Jeepster" by T Rex.... When I was a teenager, my uncle bought a 50 Jeep pickup with a seized 4 cylinder that I helped him get home. He had acquired a early 4 cylinder Chevy Nova engine and trans and that went in. I thought it was a cool truck but after driving it for a month or so he got bored and sold it. These vehicles are rare today, and it's nice to still see them around the cruise nights on occasion. Thanks for showing!

I recall the Jeepsters from '60s, "Holy Toledo, What a car"! But the '50 was before my time😊.

@geebs76

To me, Jeepsters were just something that were there. I don't like or dislike them. I'd rather have the 1950 Wagon and the 1950 Truck. When I lived in Massachusetts I saw quite a few customized wagons and trucks with small block chevys and I wanted one. But as I've gotten older I now strongly prefer to preserve original vehicles.

I just can't watch this it's the Willys Jeep not the Willis Jeep if you're going to have a interesting view on the car company interesting good but maybe you shouldn't like just start calling it a different name Evelyn knows Willie's

@middleclassretiree

Great subject today Jay Willy’s did so much on a small budget I would choose the jeepster and the jeep truck they both are beautiful and have that cool factor that will always be appreciated

@THEScottCampbell

Thank you for spreading the truth: "Willys rhymes with "Gillis" and "Phyllis ". It's Welsh. They never really figured out our alphabet. Just like"physics" isn't pronounced "fye-ziks".

@stephenlawson2546

I would take the jeep truck. These are all fun till you get old then they become uncomfortable. Same with mg B and triumphs I had to move to a saab conv. 250 hp turbo vs 75 hp. I ownsd 5 different jeep military and cj. The best was 44 military. Yet the 2005 was best over the high way.

@sixinarow1

I learned to drive in a 46 MB military Jeep at the age of 7 in 1963. I drove it all over our Apple and Pear orchard pulling trailers with sprinkler pipes, props, and other stuff.

I had a '51 Jeep Delivery back in the mid 80's/ 200in Ford 6cyl/3spd. Gave $100 for it without brakes! A month later, a guy came by and offered $300 and pulled it to his place.

@carlmontney7916

50 wagon

@jsat5609

"Wilis" is the correct pronunciation of the name Willys. My father was a WW II veteran, and contemporary of Willys and the original Jeep, and this is the way he pronounced it.

@bensonsspeedshop1191

Absolutely Love the Jeepster!!!

@alanblanes2876

It's great that you've reviewed this seldom covered vehicle!

@charlesdalton985

WYR: 1950 CJ and 1950 Jeep Truck - both icons. I've always associated the "rams horn" exhaust manifolds with Chevrolet. Old hot rodders loved them for the gains in flow. In any event - thank you as always, still digging everything you do! ~ Chuck

@Al-thecarhistorian

You knocked this one out of the park! Your research is spot on 100% accurate. And I'll give you 20 extra points for pronouncing Willys correctly. Yes. I know the "teacher" part of me is showing, but you are polishing your research skills and it shows.
