Some years ago US Model Mint produced a nice ‘49 Willys pickup truck offered in two colors, Brown Poly and Universal Beige, both of which I have in my fleet. In addition I have one done in a period correct dark green by John Roberts.
And this one by John Roberts done in 2007
Then there are these Jeepsters, a US Model Mint in Sportsman Green and a Brooklin derived from the US Model Mint in red.

And the Tintin version in commercial livery and with interior figures. I suppose it could be improved if I painted the tires black which I have done on other Tintin items.

I really like this Jeep coverage, and I thank David for starting it. So I'm coming along with John and adding to this "Jeeporama."
First, that great BRK 161a in yellow: Doesn't every Jeep driver have a blonde alongside?
And a mystery "Jeep Surrey" with only that name and "1/43" on the bottom. I'm sure the packaging is back in the storage room somewhere.
(later) Found the Jeep Surrey for sale, identified this way: Greenlight 1/43 Scale 86472 - Elvis 1960 Jeep Surrey CJ3B
