"An photo advertising the Jeepster taken at poolside. The accompanying literature reads as follows. Meet the Jeepster. Willys-Overland's new sports phaeton, the Jeepster, is a smooth-riding, glamorous descendant of its rugged forbear, the Jeep. Designed as a sun car built for fun, the newly unveiled sports car is one the first full-sized light cars to reach the market. Weighing only 2500 pounds, it offers fuel economy up to 29 miles per gallon of gas, has independent front-wheel suspension, soft rear springing, and excellent roadability because of its low center of gravity. Its continental styling is finished in two colors, brilliant yellow with contrasting black trim, or in fire wagon red."

Newly styled, inside and out, is Willys-Overland's popular sports phaeton, the Jeepster. A massive front end with horizontal chrome cross-bars contributes to the low, sleek appearance of the car. Fenders and hood have been gracefully rounded for smoother lines. Operating convenience has been increased by a new instrument panel and relocation of controls.
