Unlike other vehicles of the era, the Jeepster came with a host of deluxe features as standard, which were typically optional on other cars. These included whitewall tires, hubcaps with bright trim rings, sun visors, a deluxe steering wheel, wind wings, a locking glovebox, a cigar lighter, and a continental tire with a fabric cover.<\/p>\n<p>Under the hood, the Jeepster was powered by Willys&#8217; World War II-proven 134.2 cu in (2.2 L) straight-4 &#8220;Go Devil&#8221; engine. Despite its appealing design, the Jeepster was only available with rear-wheel drive, which limited its appeal to the traditional Jeep market. Priced at $1,765, it was in the same range as the Ford Super DeLuxe Club convertible, which offered roll-down windows, more stylish design, and a V8 engine.<\/p>\n<p>The Jeepster&#8217;s distinctive boxy styling and solid performance received praise from automotive journalists, but it struggled to gain traction in its intended market. Limited advertising and a sparse dealer network further hampered its sales.<\/p>\n<p>Key features of this 1949 Willys Jeepster include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Strong &#8220;Go Devil&#8221; straight-four engine<\/li>\n<li>White convertible top with side curtains and parade boot<\/li>\n<li>Three-speed manual transmission with overdrive<\/li>\n<li>Factory chrome accent steps and bumpers<\/li>\n<li>Spotlight<\/li>\n<li>Red steel wheels with correct Willys center caps<\/li>\n<li>Wide whitewall tires<\/li>\n<li>Period-correct wiring<\/li>\n<li>Heater<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This Jeepster is a classic example of post-war American automotive design, combining unique styling with practical features.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1832308\" src=\"https:\/\/allcollectorcars.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/auction\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/19192646\/100096615_6807760924596_Original.jpg\" alt=\"1949 Willys Jeepster\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1832293\" src=\"https:\/\/allcollectorcars.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/auction\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/19192607\/100096615_6807760809098_Original.jpg\" alt=\"1949 Willys Jeepster\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1832316\" src=\"https:\/\/allcollectorcars.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/auction\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/19192708\/100096615_6807760982144_Original.jpg\" alt=\"1949 Willys Jeepster\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1832325\" src=\"https:\/\/allcollectorcars.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/auction\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/19192731\/100096615_680776105678_Original.jpg\" alt=\"1949 Willys Jeepster\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1949 Willys Jeepster: The Willys Jeepster was unique for its time, offering a blend of luxury features and rugged Jeep heritage.
