Willys M38A1
Years Produced: 1952-1957
No of Units: 101,488
This was the first appearance of the 'round-fender' Jeep that would eventually become the CJ5. The M38 A1 was quite different that the CJ5, having a stronger chassis and reversed front spring shackles, in addition to the military accoutrements such as standardized GI instruments and a 24 volt electrical system. The M38 A1 lasted quite awhile in military service. Even after it was replaced by the high-tech Ford M151, they could be seen in OD green as late as the 1970s
The 240GD fitted with a 2,300-cubic-centimeter, indirect-injection, four-cylinder diesel engine. It achieved 52 kW of output, which is the equivalent of 69.73 horsepower at 4,400 rpm, and had 101.1 ft.-lb. of torque. Its maximum speed was 115 kilometers per hour, or 71 mph. The curb weight of the 240GD was 4,453 lb. Its length measured 173.4 inches, it was 66.9 inches wide, and 76.8 inches high. Its front and rear track both measured 56.1 inches, and it had a wheelbase of 112.2 inches. It was capable of holding 17 cubic feet of cargo.
