Concept Jeeps will be on display at festival
Six concept Jeeps were just shown at the Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah, and three of these vehicles are making a special appearance at the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival.
These concept vehicles are typically only seen on the pages of national magazines, but thanks to the Jeep Corp., festival goers can get an up close and personal look at these amazing vehicles.
The three concept Jeeps that will be displayed are the Jeep Wrangler Maximum Performance, the Jeep Cherokee Dakar and the Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel Trail Warrior.
