Created after World War II in order to serve in the Korean conflict, this impressive M38 Jeep by Willys-Overland is undoubtedly one of the most iconic military vehicles ever made. It is a versatile four-wheeler that’s able to tackle some of the world’s harshest roads while facing the full might of the elements, and it is equipped with an inline four cylinder engine that pumps out 60 horsepower through a three-speed manual transmission.
The best part is that the power is delivered to all four wheels, which would have made this model incredibly stable and reliable during deployment. The M38 that you’re looking at right now was restored with incredible attention to detail, and it is being auctioned off by Sotheby’s. It includes a .50 caliber air-cooled gun and a .30 caliber water-cooled gun (both inert), as well as a radio, a period correct telephone, a helmet and a gas can.
