Jeep Funny Cars Article

• CATEGORIES: Features, Racing This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

The website carver.wicklocal.com did a post about Jeep Funny cars, referencing the ‘godfather’ of jeep funny cars Ed Length, from Long Beach California (a name unknown to me, but then I haven’t followed the jeep funny car circuit).

https://carver.wickedlocal.com/news/20200525/cars-we-remember-those-wild-incredible-jeep-funny-cars-and-first-ever-consumer-jeep

The writer manages to dodge a reader’s question about what company made the first jeep (my nod is to American Bantam of course); instead the author references the first consumer jeep.

The “Secret Weapon” built by Ed Length and driven by Bob Wolford.
