The Ultimate WWII Collector s Item: A Jeep in a Crate
While millions were produced, the U.S. military didn t take great efforts to bring vast numbers of the equipment home after the war. Even most collectors doubt that any actual “Jeep in a crate” still exists.
Here s What You Need To Remember: Far from an urban legend, the Jeep in a Crate clearly existed at one point - hundreds of thousands of them were packed this way for shipment to Europe and Asia. Whether any still exist today, however, is much less certain.
There is a unique subset of “classic car” aficionados who collect military vehicles, and a complete World War II Jeep remains something every serious collector must have. What military history buff wouldn t like to take a vintage Willies Jeep out for a ride on a warm afternoon?
