I own a ‘69 …
I own a ‘69 Jeepster, and yes, you can ride in the back seat, but only if you are 5 feet or under. The hardtop roof is quite low, and if the rear seat is plush, forget it. Otherwise, this is the most fun vehicle I’ve ever owned..

Yeah…these are …
Yeah…these are pretty rare these days…the forerunner of a whole class of cars, and they got little credit except that everyone tried to imitate them! Going to Carlisle first weekend of June, if it doesn’t rain, for the all Ford show! Jack

Hey, Kevin! Yeah …
Hey, Kevin! Yeah this was before Jeep somehow lost its essence in a blind attempt to sell “Jeeps” regardless of their off-road capability. It shows what the boys in marketing can do when given the okay! Thanks for the comment! Jack

Hey, Brent! I …
Hey, Brent! I think this is the most utiltarian of all Jeep vehicles of the era. You could actually ride in the back seat!
The Broncos and the Scouts were good too, but this is, of course, a Jeep! Thanks for the comment! Jack

i like this …
i like this jeepster! but give me a 66-77 bronco any day! but this is one cool ride and is much more like a bronco or scout in interior space! still very nice and a huge upgrade from the smaller jeep, but then again you could always stretch a old little jeep like they did with the new 4 door one! and the rims don’t match the look in my books, some steel rims and hub caps would be more my taste on this jeepster! but still sweet all the same! thanks for sharing jack!

Do you know what …
Do you know what modern 4×4 ’soft roaders’ are nicknamed in England? Either the ‘Sainsburys Assault Vehicle’ (Sainburys being a supermarket chain, maybe substitute WalMart) or the Chelsea Tractor! )

Hey, Brian! Yeah, …
Hey, Brian! Yeah, I like this one too, and the engine should be great besides! Having ridden in a regular jeep, I would say that anything has to be better than that! Thanks for the comment! Jack
