Jurassic Park Jeeps are a ‘Monster Hit’ in Hollywood

Some famous Jeeps joined in the fun and stole the show at the 2018 Hollywood Christmas Parade.

Every year, the city of Los Angeles rings in the holiday season with the Hollywood Christmas Parade. Among the floats, performers, and marching bands, we spotted some famous and very cool Jeeps from the Jurassic Park movie franchise getting in some dino-sized ho-ho-hos.

The vehicles are part of the Star Car Central collection. They include a replica of the Jeep JK Wrangler from 2017’s Jurassic World, complete with inflatable t-rex.

Of course, we were thrilled to see a pristine replica of the 1994 Jeep Wrangler Sahara from the first Jurassic Park movie. Details included the leather bags on the seat backs.

And another perfectly period-correct 1994 Jeep replica joined the fleet.

The fleet even included a first-generation Ford Explorer replica thrown in the mix.

Dinosaurs and Santa Claus sounds like a good, albeit slightly odd, time to us. The only thing missing is Jeff Goldblum. But with the magic of Jeeps and Christmas, you never know. “Life finds a way.”
