15. 1950-1952 M-38 (WILLYS MODEL MC)

A direct knockoff of the CJ-3A, the M-38 was upgraded for GI use by a stronger frame and suspension, a 24-volt electrical system, and full-floating rear axle, in addition to a multitude of military accoutrements. These rigs saw combat in Korea, but production was low at 61,423 units. An export version was built from 1953 to 1955 for foreign military forces. The headlight guards, blackout lights, battery panel on the cowl and tool notches on the body are the way to ID them. Some were equipped with Ramsey winches. Reg Hodgon's M-38 is decked out in Korean War-vintage Canadian colors.

16: 1951 CJ-4

This is the missing link between the CJ-3A/3B and the CJ-5. Only one unit was built in 1951. It was probably the first vehicle to carry the new Willys "Hurricane'' F-head engine and was probably a concurrent development with the MD model (M-38A1/CJ-5). It combined the rear of a CJ-3A, the hood of an MD, and this unique cowl and fenders on an 81-inch wheelbase. Mechanically, it was pretty standard Jeep. Carrying the engineering code X-151 (X, experimental; Serial No. 1, 1951) the rig was sold to a Willys employee in 1955 who worked it for 12 years. John Milam, of Ida, Michigan, has owned it for the last 25 years.

17A OR 17B: 1952-1957 M-38A1

This was the first appearance of the "round-fender'' Jeep that would eventually become the CJ-5. The M-38A1 was quite different than the CJ-5, having a stronger chassis and reversed front spring shackles, in addition to the military accoutrements such as standardized GI instruments and 24-volt electricals. The M-38A1 lasted quite awhile in military service. Even after it was replaced by the high-tech Ford M-151, they could be seen in OD green as late as the 1970s. In all, 101,488 units were produced, some of which went for export. This rig is owned by George Baxter at Army Jeep Parts in Bristol, Pennsylvania.

18 1953-1968 CJ-3B

This "high-hood'' Jeep was essentially a CJ-3A with the taller F-head engine fitted and a "hood-ectomy'' to give clearance. Though it may have been intended as a interim model prior to the intro of the CJ-5, it stayed in production until 1968 as a shorter-wheelbase option. With only a few thousand a year built, many of them exported, there are not many CJ-3Bs around. A total of 155,494 were assembled in the U.S. Strangely enough, they are still being built under license in India under the Mahindra nameplate. This restored 1963 CJ-3B belongs to Derek Redmond, Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
