I wonder, Bill, if you are thinking of the civilian CJ series. This MOC is of
the military Jeep, where I do believe the flat hood is prototypical. This also
explains the low door and high back, which is opposite to the arrangement on
current descendant Jeep models. The tires look to be in proportion to the
height and width of the body, too. Good job, Mattias! I just wish that the
windshield didn't look to be about one-third not tall enough (so I leave
the ones on my models built in imitation folded down). I do agree, though, that
clear 1x1 round plates for headlights bring out the resemblance even more.
However, I was unable to figure out how the fenders get right under the hood
like that, so the fenders of my imitation are one plate below.
