I did not know about the Jeepster. This one's a beaut. Looks like it
just came off the line.

I wonder if Willy's knew that the Jeepster would be a Shriner staple at parades 
sixty years later! 

They sure are funky vehicles!

When I was a young kid our neighbour, a mechanic, swore by Jeep Wagoneers. Said 
they were the best made, simplest, most reliable and easily repairable cars 
made in the US. 

They were chunky, very "upright" (in an era when "lower and wider" was 
Detroit's mantra) and had a harsh ride. They had four wheel drive (necessary as 
they had a cottage that required driving the last ten miles or so on muddy ruts 
- couldn't even call it a road).

Gee, sounds like an SUV, eh?

;-)

Again I digress.

Again, good picture, Steve.

Cheers,
frank

The Jeepster (for those that don't know) was a passenger car version
of the Jeep.  Not a big sales hit but there was a real beauty at the
4th celebration yesterday:
