At least 30 years older than my 21st Century Toys Jeep, and in much better condition!
They new how to make 'em back in the Marx days!
Nice addition to the collection.
And... the Jeep can share that trailer you picked up recently!

Great jeep! The Marx jeep is about the same size as Gi Joe’s but is the actual model used in the mid-60s. I used to have one; but sold it a few years back. Here’s my Marx Buddy Charlie being stopped at an MP checkpoint. The MPs have a slightly smaller Empire jeep.

Nice pickup Allan. Mine had two broken spokes in the steering wheel when I got it, one of my cats finished it off later by knocking it over. Luckily I was able to find a 3D printed version to replace it. My spare is unattached, it lays in the back cargo area.

Military-tastic on the Marx jeep Allan . It’s a pity that one of the 3 steering wheel spokes is broken but at least the rest of jeep seems to be in ok condition. Looking forward to seeing it outdoors being driven.

Yes, I believe in scale and details the Empire Jeep is the American counterpart to the Cherilea jeep. The one major difference is they the hood (bonnet) of the Empire Jeep does not open. Both are fun vehicles though.
