This March 1956 article from Willys News explains how some dealerships were using the DJ-3A as a drop off vehicle. A driver from the dealership would drive the jeep to a vehicle owner’s house, pickup the car, hook the jeep’s hitch to the customer’s car, and then drive the car to the dealership for maintenance. After servicing it, a driver would bring the car back to the customer’s house, jeep in tow, and return in the jeep.

Year? M-38 Salado, TX **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2250.
Doesn’t run. No title. Might make a good restoration.
“For Sale: 1950-1952 Willys M38. This is an authentic M38 military jeep. It has an MC, “Marine Corps” data plate with legible serial number mounted directly to the front of the right rear wheel housing, inside the tub, exactly where it should be.
This was a “radio jeep,” that is to say it was a “commo” vehicle, adapted for use with a mobile radio and transmitter. The only thing left of the radio equipment is the original antenna mount bracket above the spare tire mount and the rear box mounts in the body.
The jeep is complete, original and is a rolling chassis. 4×4, hubs, linkage and shifters actuate as they should. Driveline itself is complete. The drivetrain is original to the frame, as is the body tub, folding Front windshield frame, front fenders and grill. It has had a 12V conversion, and the wiring has been redone to the front headllights. It does have the “blackout” drive light on the left front fender, glove box, dash panel, glove box and body tub hand-holds. It does have the sealed ports on the differentials, blackout lights, MIL Spec light switch and the water-proof ignition. It also has the cut-outs in the hood for the snorkel kit and skid plates are installed.
Frame is in excellent condition, front to back, and HAS NOT been modified. Motor is free spinning with no knocks, and the jeep has been in covered storage for 25+ years.
No title, being sold on Bill Of Sale only.
Condition: Total Restoration Required. Needs everything and will need considerable investment to make roadworthy. There is rust, where they typically rust, but nothing that is not restorable. What you are getting is a complete, original Willys M38 + many spare parts.”
1950 CJ-3A Bakersfield, CA **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.
Runs and drives.
“I’m selling my 1950 Jeep Willys. It runs great! Jeep is in excellent condition. It’s a 1950 so there are things that need to be done. The emergency brake doesn’t work, has some play in the steering and the speedometer is not accurate. Other than that, it fires right up and drives very well. I enjoyed goofing off in it with my son but he is college bound so it’s someone else’s turn. No scammers! If you can’t personally be here to buy it with cash then you can’t have it.”
1960 FC-150 Hilton, NY **SOLD**
rUPDATE: **SOLD** Was on ebay.
Mike pointed this FC my direction. Note the well done window system replacement. Looks like a Fairmont setup. Maybe this was a Hy-Rail at some point??
“1960 Jeep FC-150 4×4.Forward control design.L4 engine in CJ-5 (stock) chassis.Drivetrain in good condition.Engine unknown.Bed is on trailer frame (included)”
1950 CJ-3A Seguin, TX **SOLD**

1946? VEC? CJ-2A Taylor, TX **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.
Looks like it has an early body. Listed as a ’48.
“1948 Willys jeep complete with motor and teams just not running. Has a Chevrolet strait 4 cylinder. $800 with clear title.”
Year? CJ-3B Sonora, CA **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500 …. Terry noticed this is an ex-airline 3B. Note the angled passenger rear wheel well. It looks as if someone grafted another body piece onto the back of this to make it appear normalish.
I’m gonna guess it doesn’t run. Interesting dash mod.
“I have a flat fender high hood Willys I would like to trade for a street legal motorcycle preferably a sportster or Harley basket case, might take a dual sport or a cruiser if it’s worth it”
