The Willys M38 is a military jeep that was produced by the American company Willys-Overland from 1950 to 1952. It was designed to replace the World War II-era Willys MB and Ford GPW models, and was based on the civilian Willys CJ-3A. The M38 had several features that distinguished it from its predecessors, such as a reinforced frame and suspension, a waterproof 24-volt electrical system, a one-piece windshield with wipers at the bottom, and a tailgate that could be removed for mounting a machine gun or other equipment. The M38 was also equipped with a snorkel kit that allowed it to ford water up to 60 inches deep. The M38 was used by the U.S. Army and Marine Corps during the Korean War and other conflicts, and was also exported to various allies around the world. The M38 was succeeded by the M38A1 in 1952, which had a more powerful engine and a longer wheelbase. The M38 is considered to be one of the most iconic and durable military vehicles ever made, and is still popular among collectors and enthusiasts today.
