Makes Debut Here
The “Jeepster,” latest and jaunti
est addition to the numerous de
scendants of the wartime jeep, made
its debut with appropriate fanfare
at the Mayflower Hotel yesterday.
Former GI's will have a hard time
recognizing the relationship of the
“Jeepster" to the tough little vehicle
in which they bounced around Eu
rope and the Pacific theater in
World War II.
The car put on exhibition yester
day grew out of suggestions written
to the makers on how the jeep
could be adapted for peacetime pas
senger use, according to representa
tives of Willys-Overland Motors.
The result is a racy looking con
vertible, with lines reminiscent of
several foreign-made cars. The car
:will be sold locally through Willys
jof Washington, and company offi
cials say its price will be about
