Welcome to StreetDreamsTexas as we celebrate our 21st year in the classic and muscle car business. Here's what we like to call 'the sure cure for road rage'! Check out this cool 1955 Willys M38A1 decked out for Military Police service. The M38A1 was produced from 1952 to 1971 and saw extensive use during the Korean and Vietnam wars. This was the first jeep to have the round fender design that would later become the distinguishing feature on the 1955 civilian CJ-5 and for decades thereafter on CJ-6, CJ-7, and CJ-8 Jeeps. The similarities with the CJ series are mostly cosmetic, however, as the M38A1 has a far more robust frame and suspension system engineered for the rigors of military service. This four-wheel drive mountain goat is powered by the correct 134 ci Hurricane I4 which sends power to the correct Borg-Warner T-90 3-speed manual transmission, then on to the Dana 18 transfer case, and finally out to the Dana axles (25 F, 44 R). Additional goodies include the awesome mounted M1919 Browning .30 caliber machine gun (inert), two .30 cal. ammo cans, jerry can, an M17A1 gas mask, MP helmet liner, correct and functional Sea-Mite siren, and even an old hemp tow rope. Another fun detail is the MP book of traffic violations we found because the ticketed vehicles are '53 Mercury, '54 Chevy, '53 Cadillac, etc. This charming piece of history runs well and has participated in parades, so reliability isn't a concern. Stockade and billy clubs not included! Street Dreams 830-997-1950) is a full service dealership that can assist with worldwide delivery, insurance, and financing options.
