Car Life Buggy Article

Picked up this old copy of Car Life Magazine this week that dates from August '68. What a hoot and a snapshot of buggy history frozen forever!

Two page story is about the crossover of buggies from sand to street and featured a look at newly introduced Jeffries Kyote, Empi Imp and Bushwacker.

Also includes an add from Bruce in the back cautioning "Beware of copycats...". Pretty cool.

Way! before my time... but very cool Jeff. Thanks for sharing.

A nice look back in time: Thanks for sharing.

In 1968 the cover said: "Move Over World, Here Come the Japanese". And, the rest is history.

The 68 stuff was what I was driving in high school....not before my time!

[jpbaird]

Yeah I was in kindergarten and likely more interested in bikes than buggies at the time.

The other cover story is about the earliest Austin Healeys and Corvettes hitting the bottom of their depreciation curve and advising collectors that it is time to buy... Sound advice indeed!!! Ha.

circa 1968...I was interested in bikes and buggies.
I'm surprised the Manx model lasted this long...only took another 30 years to get a real one!
The StingRay bike is in the garage awaiting its rebuild...


and the rest of the collection....
