Around 1956 when Pete was 5 his dad brought home a WW2 surplus Willys MB Jeep to their summer place on Cape Cod (MA). They did lots of surf fishing, and beach running, and Pete was never the same.
Before being injured Pete was a DaimlerChrysler Gold Certified Jeep Salesman and had been invited to become a DaimlerChrysler Product Trainer.
He got his first Jeep in '67 but always wanted a '48-'51 Willys Jeepster. He finally found one in 1992. Finding club newsletters in the glove box he joined WOJC. During the early 90's Pete belonged to two Jeepster groups, but was most at home with the friends he's made at WOJC.
He wrote the club newsletter, naming it "JeepsterNews" for about 10 years until career demands forced him to pass the ball to then retired Jim Sommer. Upon Jim becoming ill and passing away, another member did JeepsterNews for two years until Pete took the job back in January of 2019.
Over the last few years, Pete has published a Jeepster Calendar and a professional reproduction of a 1950 factory poster which can be purchased by members, or the public.
Over the years, Pete has served as a member of the board of directors, vice president and meet coordinator. He and his wife, Alicia Kullas, have hosted club meets at Cape Cod in 2009, Cooperstown, NY in 2005, and Historic Gettysburg in Fall of 2021.
While only 19,131 Jeepsters were built at Toledo, Ohio from 1948-1950 with left overs titled as 1951's, the Willys Overland Jeepster Club has members all around the globe! While we're mostly in the US & Canada we have members in the UK, France, Belgium, Germany, New Zealand, Australia, Central America and Israel!
Our 8 page Full Color* 'JeepsterNews" has won the coveted OLD CARS WEEKLY "Golden Quill Award" for many years!
*JeepsterNews is full color except where vintage factory photos are only available in Black & White.
