This 1955 Willys M38A1 4X4 Military Jeep is an absolutely gorgeous Korean War era Military vehicle that underwent an extensive frame-off restoration. Ohio-based Willys-Overland's history dates back to 1909 with the company producing its earliest products, postal delivery wagons and soon after, Willys expanded its operations with the production of light-duty commercial vehicles. As the years progressed Willys foothold on the light-duty truck market was evident. However by the 1930s, feeling the effects of the Great Depression, Willys was placed into receivership and a shift into passenger cars allowed the company to stave off full blown bankruptcy. As the United States entered into World War II, perhaps no military vehicle was more iconic than the Jeep, a nameplate that still survives nearly 100 years later. While the Jeep underwent a redesign between World War II and the Korean War, Willys Jeeps were still playing a prominent role
