Only made for 3 years total. The Jeep brand mostly catered to the utilitarian market-farmers, foresters, workers. They wanted to cross over into the automobile market. They meshed design from the Jeep and convertible cars, then added some deluxe features. It was a sports car for the veterans. Today they are sought after because of the fun factor. It's a good looking convertible that's practical to use. This one was restored to good condition about 20 years ago and not used much since. EXTERIOR: It presents itself very well. The body is solid, no signs of rust. The two tome paint is glossy. Up front it has bright chrome bumper and bumper guard. The grill trim headlight bezels, hood latches, door handles are all good. The aluminum step plates look like a fun way of climbing into the back seat. In back it has a spare tire with a cover. The rear bumper is bright. To dress them up each Jeepster came with white walls, hubcaps and trim rings. The white convertible top is in nice shape. It has a complete set of side curtains too.
