The 1949 Jeepster began production with a single model and a single engine, and the price was lowered to 1,495 dollars, with some previously standard features returning as extra cost options. Toward the middle of the year an additional model arrived, the VJ3 6, powered by Willys' new Lightning six cylinder engine. Sales fell sharply to 2,960 because of limited utility, a high price, low performance and sparse advertising.
