Transformed Jeeps

[Citroman]

A Jeep transformed with an Opel Olympia body. War ruins in the back. I don't know what license plate it has (Danish?). SUV avant la lettre.

The french firm Duriez did offer special woodie bodies for Jeep and Dodges. They also transformed Dodges in forward control.

Back in the 'sixties I had a Willys Overland station wagon, 2WD with the 3 speed 'box selected by column mounted shift & an automatic overdrive that engaged if you came off the gas at speeds over 40 mph.

By the time I bought it some moron had butchered the rear body to convert the car to a pick-up truck, but it suited my needs at the time.

I seem to recall it had a front bench seat, I'll try to find any pics. & post.

And another on holiday near Monaco. Nicely loaded.

Looks like the standard US Forces license plate in use then, although it is hard to tell if it is the version for privately owned or millitary vehicles.

I did see one in an Danish fjord. It was a complete Jeep chassis on floats. over the wheel rims were steal cables. It was pulling it's self in and out the fjord to drag a channel.
