Willys Overland Jeepster tag "LOWDRAG"
Jeepster Number #3 created on 5/12/72. It is a '49 and it belongs to Norm Conley who bought it 3/89. Prior to that time it was owned by: 93-James Hobson-Denver Bland-Bill Bowman-Carl Farmer-Jim McNerney-Dave Taylor- (This jeepster came from S. Wichita on S Meridian used to belong to Britt Brown Eagle editor had Corvette V-8 $275 in 1972. Before that it was used for Coyote hunting and had metal tractor seats welded to the fenders and a gun rack on the hood..) It carried the antique Kansas tag "LOWDRAG" The pictures below show what it looked like when I picked it up in a barn with bird droppings all over it.
