Willys Overland Jeepster (1947)

Moritz Niemann

Kickdown's Take

by Moritz Niemann

The Jeepster was Willys’ charming attempt to transform the Jeep from a workhorse into a recreational vehicle. In this red model, a powerful Ford V8 with an automatic transmission replaces the standard four-cylinder engine, ensuring a smooth and relaxed ride. The interior, featuring red partial leather upholstery, is in excellent condition; the engine and transmission run flawlessly, and the import documents are on file. With a fabric top, removable windows, and a spare tire mounted at the rear, this is a wonderfully unconventional American car for enthusiasts who want to venture off the beaten path!

    Technik: Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg begann Willys (ausgesprochen „WILL-iss“), Inhaber der Markenrechte an Jeep, mit der Produktion und Vermarktung des „CJ“ (für Civilian Jeep) für Landwirte, Forstwirte und andere mit ähnlichen praktischen Bedürfnissen. Das Unternehmen begann 1946 auch mit der Produktion des Jeep Wagon /Panel Utility/Pick-ups und 1947 mit dem Jeep Truck. Willys erkannte eine Lücke in seinem Produktportfolio und entwickelte den Jeepster, um vom Nutzfahrzeugsegment in den Pkw-Markt vorzustoßen. Ziel war es, den Fokus von Jeep auf Arbeitstrucks zu erweitern und somit den Kundenstamm von Willys zu vergrößern. Das neue, sportliche Modell mit ausschließlich Hinterradantrieb sollte sowohl für die Stadt als auch für das Land geeignet sein, und die Werbung hob es als „Amerikas bestes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis bei Sportwagen!“ hervor.
