168: Stuart Brown’s 1964 CJ-6 Jeep
My Jeep’s story isn’t all that special, I just found it sitting in a field out in Armstrong, British Columbia, Canada a couple summers ago. I knew I wanted a Jeep for a long time and I would prefer a Willys because I like old vehicles but I didn’t think it would be very likely to find one but sure enough, there she was. I went back a week later and took it for a test drive around the farmer’s field and drove it home that day. I have been restoring it bit by bit because I believe it deserves it. It has been slowly becoming a “celebrity icon” in my home town, Vernon, British Columbia, as “the Bugmobile” of “The Bug Guys”. I am very proud of my CJ-6. It is great to watch people turn, point, wave and smile as I drive by. I can’t go anywhere without somebody asking me about it. I’m hoping it will stay in my family for many years to come and continue bringing people joy and making memories.

Nice buddy! 😉
Stuart is my Nephew and I’m not ashamed to say I’m more than a little jealous that he found this jeep not me..

Just read your story this afternoon. On the way home I stopped off at the hardware store and there parked out front was your jeep. Spent a few minutes looking her over. Pretty cool. What’s funny is I live in Armstrong where you found your CJ6 and I too own a CJ6 (1960). Would be interesting to swap stories one day.
Happy trails!

Al,
Am I correct to assume your CJ-6 is red and has a full canvas top on it because if so I have seen it and have taken some pictures haha. It’s so funny that a couple of such rare vehicles live so close to each other.
