After extensive field testing, the Jeep's off-road capability was first publicly demonstrated early in 1941 when one was driven up the steps of the United States Capitol by Willys's test driver, Irving 'Red' Haussman. Produced by the million, the ubiquitous Jeep saw service in every theatre of the Second World War and continued in military service with armies world-wide for several decades thereafter. Today the Jeep remains highly sought after by discerning military vehicle enthusiasts.
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
This lovely example of the Willys Military Jeep has been restored back to the state it would've appeared in during its original service. The restoration was carried out approximately 10 years ago by a Southern California outfit, under the supervision of the previous owner, himself a WWII Veteran. As such, the general-purpose nature of the vehicle is on full display with hull mounted tools. The consignor purchased the Jeep in the past decade, as a generous gift to another honorable WWII Veteran, to be used around their Big Bear home. Showing in wonderful condition, this Jeep is ready to go anywhere and do anything. Essential to the allied war effort, the Jeep is an unmistakable icon that deserves a spot in any comprehensive collection.
