These seven are just a small sampling of the vehicles being preserved by Omix-ADA.”
In addition to the seven historic Jeeps, Omix-ADA will also be bringing two brand-new fully customized JK Wranglers; one as part of the company’s giveaway contest for SEMA attendees, and the other as part of a charitable donation benefitting SEMA Cares.

Returning for its third year, the Off Road Success Center is a forum where business owners and industry enthusiasts within the Jeep and off-road market can freely exchange ideas, learn new concepts for success and network with other industry professionals.

- 1948 CJ-2A – One of the first examples of post-war civilian-era Jeeps, the CJ-2A was marketed as The All-Around Farm Work-Horse. This well-restored grey example features a 60-hp engine and 3-speed transmission.
- 1960 Surrey DJ-3A – A unique version of the DJ Jeep, the Surrey features a turquoise paint scheme and striped canvas top with fringe. Surreys were primarily marketed toward luxury hotels and resorts for use as courtesy vehicles for guests.
- 1964 CJ-3B – This nicely restored example originally did duty as a support vehicle for a power utility company in Alabama.
- 1967 CJ-6 – This CJ-6 is an all-original, 14,000 mile, un-restored example of what was effectively a long-wheelbase version of the CJ-5. Featuring the original paint, top and tires, this Jeep was previously owned by a funeral home director just outside of Detroit, who used the vehicle as a volunteer ambulance during foul weather, when ordinary vehicles couldn’t pass.
- 1971 Hurst Jeepster Commando – One of 100 original Hurst-modified Jeepsters, this restored example features a red, white and blue paint scheme and a 160-hp V6 engine.
- 1973 CJ-5 “Super Jeep” – Only produced in 1973, the Super Jeep was the company’s answer to a wheel shortage that keep it from producing the CJ-5 Renegade and is one of only a few hundred to be produced. Featuring Jeep’s stock wheels painted white, the Super Jeep also distinguished itself with unique interior and exterior colors, including a wild decal package on the hood and fenders. The CJ-5 has the unique distinction of being the longest continually produced U.S. vehicle. More than 600,000 CJ-5s were produced between 1955 and 1983.
- 1982 CJ-7 – Prior to being owned by Omix-ADA, this CJ-7 was used as a brush fire truck with the Northwest Homer Fire Protection District in Texas. It can go off paved roads to battle fire where larger heavier fire trucks could not.
