I'm typing away today because my clients have all left for the day... Maybe someone has a copy of this but years ago there was a 1 page letter in one of the newspapers. It was an apology from the guy who brought back the Jeep. It seems it was his job to resurrect the Jeep for sale as a regular passenger vehicle, I believe sometime in the 70's. He successfully re-created the 4 cyl all-purpose off-road recreational vehicle. He said it was from this that over the years automakers just kept building bigger and bigger SUV's to the point we have Ford Exterminators. He went on to say he felt it was his fault and he was extremely troubled by it and went on to create this big apology. Anybody ever seen this? Have a copy? Bryan |
