Live from SEMA: 1958 Jeep FC 170 on Tracks is a Perfect Mix of Adorable and Brutal

By John Coyle - November 4, 2014

Toddler with a handgun. That’s the first thing I thought of when I saw the 1958 FC Jeep in the Daystar booth at the 2014 SEMA Show. On one hand there’s that adorable face—and then there’s the overwhelming feeling that you could be taken out without a second thought. Maybe it’s just me. But regardless, I thought this baby was awesome.

While there have been Forward Control Jeep concepts in recent years, as much as we’d all love to see retro versions of the FC line, little things like safety regulations insure that it’ll never happen. And it’s a good idea to have something other than your sneakers in the crumple zone. I guess. Enjoy the pics.
