Mark Smith’s son Tom just completed this great documentary about a 1941 Slat Grille. George Baxter narrates the video. The jeep is for sale.
Go inside Army Jeep Parts, Inc. and uncover a nearly perfect restoration of one of the oldest Willys Jeeps in existence. Delivered Christmas Eve of 1941 (not long after the attack on Pearl Harbor) this World War II Slat Grille marks the start of production of the American legend we all know and love.
THIS JEEP IS FOR SALE. Own a piece of American history by contacting: sales@armyjeepparts.com.

Now this is a restoration worthy of commentary. As I look at this Willys, I am amazed at not only the detailed work, but the knowledge behind it. To acquire all that knowledge is time consuming in it self. For instance, who would know that on this particular model, rivets along the the top of the grill were installed upside down, where would one find that information? I truly admire a restoration such as this, to the utmost credit of the person who did the restoration.
I hesitate to ask the price, not something you or I could afford, but without question well worth it.
