Jeep Prototypes & Concept Vehicles Photo Archive

You're invited behind the scenes to witness the abundant variety of Jeep prototypes and concept vehicles. Jeep has undergone many ownership changes during its lifetime. Yet the extraordinary effort to produce new Jeep designs has remained constant.
Most of these designs did not endure beyond the design study or drawing stage, as many of the companies who have owned Jeep (up until 1987) lacked the resources to produce actual concept cars and prototypes. More recently, Jeep concept vehicles from Chrysler Corporation have been nothing short of amazing.

Now you can observe these rare vehicles up close through the exquisite photographs and illustrations in this book. See designers' sketches, cutaway drawings, clay models, concept vehicles, early Brooks Stevens designs and more. If you're a Jeep enthusiast, you'll love this exceptional book.
