1951 WILLYS-OVERLAND

 

KOREAN WAR JEEP

 

¼ TON M38

Clean NJ Title

 

 

Government or General Purpose vehicles were used during war time for a multiple of tasks. From laying cable to transporting troops through rough terrain to even running on railroad tracks when outfitted with the right wheels. These vehicles did everything and an average of 145 of these vehicles were assigned to every army infantry regiment. And believe it or not. they cost less than $1000 each. What a lot of people do not realize that the name. General Purpose. was starting to be cumbersome to say so they shortened the name to G. P. 's. As time went on saying those two letters fast. in a slurring kind of way evolved into Jeep.

This 1951 Willys-Overland was issued in the Korean War and was restored to almost exact specification. Story was told. that the most unusual aspect of this vehicle is one of our American troops found it so difficult to stay put as this vehicle was conquering terrain that his riffle went off and blew a hole in the floor board. See pictures to verify. That's why when this vehicle was restored. that was left to symbolize the human reality of our brave troops. Imagine the fun our soldiers had with that story. Please read on to find out all about this wonder piece of American history.
