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.
