1945 and 46 Willys

[JMT]

Family outing at a serene ranch we frequent annually for the 4th, met the old guy who owns two Willys Jeeps: one from the war 1945 (the gray one, and the other a 1946, told me many a story about hunting in those Jeeps. I hardly prompted him and he was off on the stories about what these Jeeps could do! Both obviously still driveable

Not only driveable, but have definitely seen use! They both look well broken in.

That would be so awesome to have one of those and drive it around town. Like a dream come true!

Awesome! A good friend has a mid 40's and I love driving it around. Window down, 3 spd grinding every shift, top speed about 45, maybe. Will post some pics when I get to my pc.

I'd love to own an old Willy's jeep and the ranch property to drive it on. Great photos, thanks for sharing.

They are a total blast. Once you drive one, you fall in love with it. Super simple to work on, and the history is great. If my 44 Ford GPW could go 70 and 80 mph, I'd drive it all the time ! And maybe a little more padding in the driver seat

I had an old 1944 and did a lot of hunting out of it. It could really get around out in the mountains.

My first Jeep, Grade 12, was am M38 Flat Fender... Loved it.
My Uncle drove a 1944 in Europe...before you could buy one.

This is my buddy's Jeep, I think it's a 44 or 45, cannot recall. It's a blast to drive.

Looking at some older model Jeep pics, you guys seem correct. I was just going by what I was told.:nusenuse:

Stopped to pick something up for dinner. This jewel was setting outside.

I love the color and the green tint of the windshield glass.

I need to get a roll bar for my 48 willys. Right now its open top. It came with the Military Artic top and sides but I need a roll bar.
