The Willys M38 was introduced in 1950 as a post-WWII military Jeep® based on the CJ-3A. A 1/4 ton 4 × 4 utility truck, the M38 was known as a light tactical vehicle and the successor of the Willys MB as they had several improved features.

This M38 is still fitted with many military-specific features including a one-piece windshield, bottom-mounted wipers, a pintle hitch for towing, lifting shackles and a fuel filler on the driver’s side.
