Jeep's Easter Safari Concepts Are Retro Cool From The '60s To The '90s

CarBuzz - 11/04
Plus, Jeep brings its regular-cab pickup concept back.

It's time for the Easter Jeep Safari again, the 59th so far. That means it's also time for a bunch of new Jeep concept vehicles. This year, they're entirely based on the Wrangler and the Gladiator, and many of them have retro themes. These have often focused on military and mid-century Jeeps in the past, but this time, one is themed on the 1980s and 1990s. Plus, there's a concept we've seen before that has us once again wishing for a two-door Gladiator.

The Gladiator-Based Concepts

We'll kick things off with the Gladiators, one of which is the most modified concept that's totally new. That would be the Convoy. This Gladiator has a custom front fascia based on the SJ Gladiators of the 1960s. It's a very bare-bones-looking vehicle with the doors and tops replaced with brown canvas pieces.The interior has brown leather to match and bed lined floors in olive drab. Jeep also fitted a Warn winch and 40-inch tires on 17-inch wheels under raised fender flares.

Next up is the Gladiator High Top ...
