Private Facebook Page:
Members have access to our own private FB page for the sharing of stories & photos, the buying and selling of cars or parts, etc. Frequent postings there cover upcoming club activities.
ZOOM membership meetings:
When the Pandemic prevented us from holding our Spring & Fall Jeepster Meets in-person, we established a monthly ZOOM.us online membership meeting held every last Tuesday of the month at 7:00 PM Eastern Time. The gang gathers together and talks about their cars, repair and restoration questions are answered, etc. We often have a special guest speaker from the automotive world to discuss the latest trends in the hobby.

If you're buying or selling parts or an entire car members can post free advs. in our newsletter.

What is a "JEEPSTER"
Language is always changing, and of late, many people have called folks who like Jeeps, "Jeepsters".... Also, some call Willys Military, CJ's, Wagons, Pickup's etc. "Jeepsters" but for the purpose of the Willys Overland JEEPSTER Club we only consider the "JEEPSTER MODEL" as it was built at Toledo Ohio from 1948-1950* to be a "JEEPSTER".
*With the outbreak of the Korean War, 25 June 1950 and lagging sales of "Jeepsters" production was stopped in 1950's with 'Leftovers' being sold as 1951 models.
