1944 Article Says the Big Three Automakers Are Tepid on the Post War Jeep

• CATEGORIES: Features, Old News Articles This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

The April 27, 1944, article in the Star Tribune out of Minneapolis argues that Ford, GM, and Chrysler did not believe the post-war jeep would be as successful as hoped, due to (1) the hard suspension and (2) a lack of appeal to the “woman of the family”. It seems they were right to be wary from a family perspective, but the big three didn’t foresee the wagons, which attempted to address both of these issues.

Year? Model? North Tazewell, VA **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.

The frame isn’t 2A or 3A and the front clip appears have truck/wagon. The back appears to be a home brew.

Year? M-38A1 Monroe, NJ $3600

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

This has an unusual data tag. As best as I can tell, this jeep is an M-38A1 “D”, at least based on m381.com page’s reference to the XM28 tag (see comparison tag here). This may have been one of the last converted M-38A1s into a “D” variant, given only approximately 50 were converted at the Detroit Arsenal.
