1958 Creep—the Name Says It All
 Yeah, the Jeep Creep! If the name alone doesn’t dredge up a chuckle, the sight of it will. Several versions were built for tests, including this Post Office rig and an aircraft tug. They were powered by the venerable 134ci flathead four, rear-mounted above the axle, and featured automatic transmission. This was a time when Jeep was experimenting with a lot of interesting hardware, including air-cooled engines, both gas and diesel.
