Good book for new Jeep enthusiasts,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Jeep Color History (Paperback)
More detailed than the book "Jeep" by Jim Allen. Get a little deeper into the "Jeepmania". Also recommended for new Jeep enthusiasts and people considering buying a vintage Jeep for hobby or restoration. Helps orient one to make the right choice.
