Jeep showed off the Wrangler 4Xe Willys ’41, a special edition tribute to the legendary 1941 Willys Jeep. Inspired by the military vehicle used during World War II, it brings period accuracy in aesthetics with modern capabilities. The design is nostalgic and still ruggedly appealing, as is characteristic of the Wrangler brand.
The olive drab paint finish takes center stage, echoing the utilitarian look of the Willys MB. Jeep outlined the special edition with distinctive bonnet-side graphics, reproducing the stenciled numbers used on military Jeeps during the 1940s. The decals finished in drab blue authentically copy the looks of the Willys MB.
Vintage-Inspired Exterior with Rugged Features
The design of the Wrangler 4Xe Willys ’41 reeks of the original Willys’s design elements. The 17-inch aluminum wheel, styled in a nod to the steel wheels of the Willys MB, boasts of reinforcing the classic theme. These off-road-machine-ready wheels are wrapped in all-terrain tires for the best possible performance on and off the road while maintaining the nostalgia.
A subtle ’41 badge adorns the bonnet, adding to the vehicle’s hommage to its legacy. Jeep also fitted the special edition with heavy-duty metal bumpers, providing even greater off-road protection. Customers can get it with one of three roofs: a body-colored hard top, a power-folding Sky Top, or a tan soft top similar to the early military Jeep.
