One of the most fun KO vehicles from the 1970s was the Empire Jeep, made in North Carolina from about 1973 on. I picked up this army green version several years ago. The trailer is not from this jeep, hence the color variation (less time in the sun!) They made several different ones. Here a jeep on a supply run crosses a Rickety bridge in hostile territory.
Perfect rig for Stony Smith! Looks like dangerous territory out there on the rickety bridge... in the blackberry brambles!

Great looking jeep, Nate! I really like The All American Fighter (AKA Buddy Charlie). Is that a Joe or Action Man? I ask because he's wearing a beret and pea coat that Joe didn't have.

Small and compact, reminds me a lot of my Cherilea jeep!

Thanks! The driver is a standard muscle body action man. Uniform, beret and duffle coat are action man as well.
