OMIX-ADA To Display Seven Awesome Jeeps At The 2014 SEMA Show

1967 Jeep CJ-6 - Omix-ADAOmix-ADA is looking to make the 2014 SEMA Show one for the history books. The company will be there in force, and it’ll be packing some seriously nostalgic Jeeps for showgoers to gawk at.

“Our motivation behind starting the Jeep Collection was to preserve Jeep heritage,” said Henk Van Dongen, Director of Marketing at Omix-ADA. “Our growing collection of Jeeps is representative of our company as a whole and the products we manufacture for everything from the 1941 models to the current JK. These seven are just a small sampling of the vehicles being preserved by Omix-ADA.”

1971 Hurst Jeepster Commando - Omix-ADA

The 1971 Hurst Jeepster Commando, one of only 100 ever made.

Included in the set of seven-slot treasures are the three we have pictured here in the article. Above, you’ll see the 1967 CJ-6, sitting with 14,000 miles on the clock and nothing in the way of restoration. This all-original beauty once belonged to a Detroit-based funeral home director, who used the vehicle as a volunteer ambulance when the snow got to be impassable for normal vehicles.

Next up is a 1971 Hurst Jeepster Commando, one of just 100 Jeepsters that got the Hurst treatment back in the early 1970s. In addition to a sleek shifter, owners would receive an 8,000-RPM hood mounted tachometer, Goodyear G70x15 tires, and a sport steering wheel. The icing on the cake was the three-tone, patriotic Champagne White with red and blue stripes.

Lastly, the 1960 Surrey DJ-3A is a rather dainty specimen of Jeep’s heritage. Produced between 1955 and 1965, these were used as courtesy vehicles at luxury hotels and resorts back in the day, and they definitely looked the part with striped upholstery, pastel paints mixed with creamy white, and dog bowl wheels that wound up making these Jeeps appear more cute than rugged.

The other four models include a 1948 CJ-2A, 1964 CJ-3B, 1973 CJ-5 “Super Jeep”, and 1982 CJ-7. We can’t wait to see these Jeeps in person as we head to the SEMA Show on November, so stay tuned here at Off Road Xtreme and get ready to see some incredible things coming out of Las Vegas.
