1949 Willys VJ Jeepster

IN AN attempt to attract a younger demographic, Willys Overland developed the sporty VJ Jeepster convertible sedan. Early versions were equipped with the standard Go Devil engine, but in 1950 the company offered the Hurricane F-134 and Lightning L161. It was only available in two-wheel drive and did not gain traction (pun intended) with the general buyer. The VJ was phased out in 1951.
