Willys-Overland Jeepster at U of M, Ann Arbor, Michigan, 1948

An advertising photo of a Jeepster with four models at the University of Michigan. The accompanying literature follows. Fancy Jeep. Snappiest version yet of the famous Willys-Overland Jeep is this new sports phaeton, the Jeepster. Styled in the continental manner, the car is said to be one of the first full-sized light cars to reach the market. It weighs only 2500 pounds, offers up to 29 miles per gallon of gas, and its low center of gravity and jolt-absorbing springing affords a luxurious, road-hugging ride. Windows, eliminated because of the expense and weight, have been replaced by a new type of side curtain which is easily installed in the event of inclement weather, and is capable of staying in place whether the top is raised or lowered.
