Before the era of extensive CGI in Hollywood, movies relied on real props, real people, and real locations. Certain vehicles from films achieved true stardom, becoming cultural icons. From the Batmobile to the Mystery Machine and the Ectomobile, these unique creations continue to inspire countless homemade replicas and tributes.
The live auction for the 1944 Willys Jeep is scheduled to take place during the NEC Classic Motor Show Sale 2023 in England on Sunday, November 11. It’s a significant date, coinciding with Veterans Day in the US and Remembrance Day in the UK and other nations that commemorate the end of the First World War. The estimated price for this piece of cinematic and military history is set at 18,000 to 22,000 pounds (equivalent to $21,900 to $26,785 in today’s exchange rate). While this may be less expensive than a 2024 Jeep Wrangler, it’s a piece of history with a Hollywood legacy that comes with its own unique charm.
