About the Author

Robert Ackerson was born and raised in Rockland County, which until the mid-fifties, was a region of New York State. After high school and college he moved with his wife to a small community a few miles from Cooperstown. After raising three daughters and a career in education, Bob changed the tempo of his life and began working as a full-time writer of automotive history. This was simply an extension of what he had been doing since his pre-adolescent years when he and his brother would collect sales brochures from any auto dealer who wouldn't show them the exit. When Chrysler began introducing it's new hemi V-8's in the early fifties, Bob\u2019s interest in MOPAR was piqued, and a half-century later, with the older Chargers regarded as high -performance classics, and the new models at the forefront of a new age of high-performance, it's stronger than ever.

This review is from: Jeep Wrangler (Paperback)

I am former owner of a 81 CJ-5.. and was curious about the new series of Jeep, the "Wrangler"... I had seen plenty of them on the road, but had no idea how they were put together, and what is new in Jeeps. I had my CJ-5 for 10 years and it was pretty nice.,but very basic. The new Wrangler is a new rig all together... with added features, wider stance, coil springs, shorter turning radius, new engine, no more 4 banger.a 6 speed transmission.. overall, a NEW Jeep. Jeeps have changed over the years all for the better. The Book explains and shows the changes, and answered a lot of questions I had. Now why Jeep at one time had Square headlights is beyond me, but everyone knows, A real Jeep has Round Headlights!
