Jeepster & Commando Limited Edition 1967-1973

This is a book on the Jeepster and Commando 1967 to 1973, it is made up of contemporary articles covering road and comparison tests, driving impressions, specification and technical data, new model reports and drive reports. Having been discontinued in 1948 the Jeepster name was revived in 1967. In the Mid-sixties the recreational vehicle market had blossomed and manufacturers were rapidly filling the void. The Jeepster was introduced as a blend of a street and off-road machine with extra lifestyle luxuries added to its specification. With the take-over by American Motors the bodywork received a cosmetic makeover. The Commando became the workhorse station wagon in its various guises. By 1972 the Jeepster name had again been dropped as the Commando lived on with a roadster, pickup and a station wagon. This is a book of contemporary road and comparison tests, technical information, buyer’s guide, new model intro’s, driver’s impressions. Models covered include roadster, hardtop, convertible, pick-up and station wagon. Read more
