AMO 2008: just for you, earthpilot

1971 Jeepster Commando SC-1

First off, good eye, earthpilot. Not too many people would have seen past the two-door SC/Rambler station wagon in the earlier post of wagons from this year’s AMO convention, but you did, and you asked for more, and like the U.S. Postal Service, we deliver for you.

That Jeepster’s actually been to the last three AMO conventions I’ve attended: 2005 in Atlanta, 2006 in Dayton and this year’s Kingston show. It belongs to Judy Emerson of the Bronx, and if we ever do a truck magazine here at Hemmings, I’magonna make sure it gets in. It’s a 1971 SC-1 model, which means it got the black rally stripes over the Butterscotch Gold paint, a standard radio, aluminum wheel covers and the 160hp 225-cu.in. V-6.

And I cheated a little bit: The above photo is from Atlanta, not Kingston, if only because I didn’t take a full photo of the Jeepster this year.
