Vehicle Details
This 1952 Willys M38A1 is finished in green over newly re-upholstered beige canvas and is powered by a 134ci inline-four mated to a three-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Features include a canvas soft top, wood doors, 16” steel wheels, US Army-style stencil graphics, a folding windshield, a pintle hitch, and a rear-mounted spare. The truck is paired with a 1952 M-100 single-axle utility trailer that was manufactured by Dunbar Kapple, Inc. of Geneva, Illinois, and has a canvas cargo cover, a handbrake, and dual taillights. This M38A1 and M-100 trailer are now offered by the selling dealer with a Washington title for the Willys and a bonded Washington title for the trailer.
The M38A1 debuted in 1952 as the successor to the M38, and it remained in production until 1971. The truck’s rounded hood and fenders influenced the design of the civilian CJ-5 Jeep. This example is finished in green with white US Army–style stencil graphics and is said to have been repainted under prior ownership. Exterior details include blackout lights, a removable canvas soft top, fabricated wood doors, a folding windshield, a pintle hitch, and a shovel stowed on the underside of the hood.
Black-finished 16″ steel wheels are mounted with 7.00-series military tires, and a spare is attached to the tail panel. Braking is provided by four-wheel drums.
The individual front seats and rear bench are fitted with cushions upholstered in beige canvas. A supplemental horn with a column-mounted button has been added, and other equipment includes a cup holder, front lap belts, a twin-stick transfer-case shifter, and a power-cutoff switch as well as a lighting control panel, a passenger grab handle, and a glovebox on the left.

The three-spoke steering wheel is wrapped with cord and sits ahead of a body-color dashboard that houses a 60-mph speedometer along with gauges for voltage, fuel level, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. The five-digit odometer shows 7k miles, a handful of which were added under current ownership. True mileage is unknown.
The 134ci Hurricane F-head inline-four sends power to the rear or all four wheels via a three-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case.
The M-100 1/4-ton utility trailer has a single axle and leaf springs, and the data plate lists an August 1952 delivery date. Equipment includes 16″ steel wheels, an equipment box, a handbrake, an A-frame drawbar with a lunette coupler, dual taillights, and a green canvas cover.
The current Washington title for the truck is listed as a duplicate and carries “Classic” and “Other” brands. There is a bond on the current Washington title for the trailer.
