This is the unique convertible everyone wants to see. With the horrors of World War II fading in the rearview mirror, Willys decided to capitalize on the nostalgic emotions of American GIs. Designer Brooks Stevens combined a four-passenger phaeton convertible with the looks of the jeeps, calling it the Jeepster. While most veterans didn’t care to remember what they experienced overseas, the result is you can grab this 1948 Willys Jeepster for a solid deal at under $20,000.The Jeepster was launched in May of 1948, so you would be getting one of the first wave to roll off the assembly line.
