The original Jeep CJ series is what became the civilian variant of the tough and rugged Willys Jeep that saw time in the battlefield. In fact, the story is quite similar to the Hummer; a military vehicle adapted into civilian use. But what if you want the military variant instead of the civilian one? Well, unlike Humvees, that’s a bit harder to come by when we talk about Willys Jeeps. You see, these vehicles were considered to be pretty much disposable, leading a few years of hard life before being put to pasture. Some examples lasted mere weeks in battlefields, such as vehicles involved in World War II and the Korean War. However, sometimes you do get lucky and find a classic survivor. This 1952 Willys M38 from Flower Mound, Texas, is one such lucky find. It’s reportedly got just 1,789 miles on it, too. So if you’re a fan of wartime vehicles and want something that’s truly special, call or DM us right now.
Exterior and Interior
Dressed in Army Green, this 1952 Willys M38 is definitely built for the battlefield as you can see from our photos. Its no-nonsense outlook, military numbers in white, and canvas roof are all battlefield hallmarks. Moreover, the headlamps have some protective bars over them, and there’s a rope wrapped around the front bumper for recovery if needed. Yes, this isn’t a plush, luxury SUV at all. The spartan and rugged outlook continues into the passenger area of this 1952 Willys M38. You’ve got two front seats and two facing benches directly behind. There’s a no-nonsense dashboard with only the bare necessities needed to operate the vehicle. You won’t find a single creature comfort here, not even an AM radio! Yes, that’s how military vehicles are. After all, when you’re prowling around the unknown, you’ve got to have your wits about you.
Engine
A 2.2-liter 4-cylinder engine powers this 1952 Willys M38. Known as the Go-Devil engine, it’s fearsomely well known not for being ferocious or powerful, but for its sturdiness and reliability. This is an engine that takes a lot of abuse before keeling over. It’s paired with an equally sturdy and simple 4-speed manual gearbox and, of course, four-wheel drive.
