Actually hubby found these and brought them home to me. LOL Yah, just toy Jeeps. :D

The blue one is a 70 Jeepster, notice no winch. The green one is a 69 "Jeep" and the purple one has no date or name. Those are all Tootsietoys. The orange one is just a plastic Jeep and the metal army Jeep is a Buddy L no date.

He went to a friends house that she is selling to look for old bicycles and found the Jeeps laying in the yard. Some looked to had been buried. LOL

My Jeep collection is starting to grow. LOL
 
That's not a bad way to start a collection.

I can already see the purple one being restored by you and your husband and it looks like the green one may be offering it's giant white plastic part (whatever it's really called) to the cause.

I have a handful of Avon Aftershave decanters which I don't really collect but what did I stumble across last week?

This Jeep which I bet came out before 1975. For $1.50 how could I pass it up?

LOL, Believe me, I did think about taking the chassis out of the green one and putting it in the purple, but unfortunately , they are so brittle I think it would just break apart in the attempt. On the blue Jeepster, it had both the windshield posts when I got it, but I broke it just by holding onto it while cleaning, and I was trying to be gentle. That is the metal part, so if it broke that easy, I'm afraid to touch the plastic chassis.

It's always been on my desires to look into. You have the resources to restore those to like new.
