What is this vehicle? (besides really cool)
I see this thing running around town from time to time. It's awesome! What the hell is it? Jeep? Toyota?

Cool, thanks.
I'm disappointed that it took you 4 mins. I'll give you the benefit of a doubt that maybe it's your dinner time. ![]()

A friend of mine had one of these. I took many a trip up the mountain to go skiing when I lived in Idaho..

Yer gonna have to turn in your "car guy card". I can't believe you've never seen one of those. The cool factor is through the roof!

Yep, I don't remember ever seeing one before. I think what makes this one REALLY stand out is the two-tone paint and beefy tires. And I think the wagon form is at least twice as cool at the pick-up version. I may have run across one as a kid, but back then it was all cars, muscle, rods, and sports cars. As I've aged my horizons have expanded.

Early 50s Willie's station wagon, considered to be the first SUV. So cool. A dinosaur but a cool dinosaur

Another cool, lesser know Jeep model was the Jeepster.

On the subject of esoteric ancient Jeep products, my least favorite: The FC.
