Despite its winning attributes, the Jeepster was a surprisingly slow seller for Willys, with the initial 1948 models the most successful, due in part to growing competition for sales in the slowing postwar "seller's market" for new automobiles. Following discontinuation in 1951, the Jeepster Phaeton's basic essence would return in the mid-1960s with the Jeepster Commando.
Rather rare as one of only 19,132 original VJ-Series Jeepsters produced in all 1948-51 and just 5,836 built for 1950-51, this 1950 Willys Jeepster is one of 1,776 built for 1950-51 with 6-cylinder power. Powered by the first-generation "Lightning" L-head 'six' with 72 horsepower, this captivating 1950 Willys Jeepster was restored before the current owner acquired it in 2008 and placed it into a private collection. Desirable accessories include an original Motorola radio, working Willys spotlight and 1951 Colorado license plate. Charming and benefiting from collector ownership and care, this 1951 Willys Jeepster Phaeton exemplifies the early versatility of the world-famous Jeep.
