US Model Mint did this nice little replica of a 1949 Willys Overland Jeepster. It came in this top up version in Sportsman Green and a top down version in pale  yellow. I found this car in a little hobby store near Canterbury Cathedral some years ago. They had both versions. I wish I had bought them both. I did add whitewalls as most Jeepsters were so equipped.

I've not seen this one before. I really like the color. I have a red version by Brooklin, but I would love to find one of these in green. The hunt begins...

Excellent photos David, thanks for bringing this one to my attention.

I like your green top-up version, David.  Here's the BRK in yellow:

David, your Brooklin Jeepster is a beauty. It was probably the most popular and most attractive color.  I somehow missed out on getting the Brooklin versions when they were available.

Just found a much closer match for the Sportsman Green Jeepster. (sans center grill trim piece)
