1953 M-38A1 San Francisco, CA eBay

• CATEGORIES: M-38A1 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I thought the fenders on this were interesting. Were there aftermarket fenders like this made?

“1953 Jeep…..Willys Model MD…..Willys Overland Motors, Toledo Ohio…..

Let me begin by saying that this jeep hasn’t been started in 6 or 7 years… When it was parked where it now sits, it was running… How well it was running I don’t really know… It was a family vehicle, that was driven by various people and owned by my late uncle… It was parked in the garage one day, and basically forgotten, and there it sits, lost in time…

So…Please bear in mind, it is not running… The battery is dead, and there appears to be some old fuel still in the tank…

It seems to be complete, albeit kinda beat up…I was told it looked like an M-38 A1 military jeep, but the designation tags that are riveted to the dashboard state it to be a Willys Model MD as I’ve stated in the listing… These tags also show this vehicle as having been manufactured in March 1953…

So…There is a ton of rust, but not any serious rot… The tires are enormous, and seem to be in O.K. shape, but who knows?

I don’t know much about this type of vehicle mechanically, but when looking at the motor, I don’t believe it has been modified or mucked around with too much, but look carefully at the photos, and you be the judge…

The biggest caveat of the whole show would be, that it’s tucked away in a garage, and if you want it, you’ll have to tow it out… I tried to push it towards the door a bit, but was unable to budge it… So…Heave-ho……..”

Mark forwarded a linke to Carhenge, an outdoor sculpture just outside Alliance, Nebraska. It turns out a Willys Truck was one of the vehicles used to create it. If we have time, we’ll stop by here and check it out on our way back from the East Coast.

There are a variety of pictures of Carhenge on Flickr. Below is part of one.
