We’re all eager for this year’s Jeep Jam, but we have some interesting information that just came in from the Jeep HQ!

As far as this years, car show: IT IS GOING TO BE ALL MOPAR!!!

Which means any type of Chrysler product from the early days to present day are invited to register! This means AMC, Eagle, Plymouth are all eligible! Of course Jeeps still….duh!!!

The Jeep Off-Road event is still “Jeep Only” Right Jeepers?!?!! Once again, that means all & only Jeeps in the early morning parade and Jeep run, but later in the day for the official car show—any MOPAR!! Pretty Cool right?!?

2011 Jeep Jam pics can be found right here!!!

Want to put your Jeep to the test?

Or perhaps your wallet?

It’s for ALL ages.

The weather’s always great.

There ARE some really cools Jeeps.

Ummmm.  The Jeep girls will be there!!

Veterans of course.  Our proud members of the DAV.

Plenty of photo ops;)

A way to give back to our troops who’ve put it ALL on the line for us;)

“WOW WHAT A TURNOUT!”

Over $16,000 We Doubled last year!!!

I just want to thank everyone who participated and who volunteered their time, efforts, land, money, auction items and support to this event. It has become bigger than we ever expected.  Everyone asks me how many cars we sold that day, the real answer is maybe one? We always manage to sell a few Jeeps but it isn’t about the sales day. We basically close our sales operations that day so we can get ready for the event. We are just happy to be part of a great community of Jeep minded people who come together to support a great cause.

We got hooked up with the DAV 3 years ago almost by accident and only then did we realize the tremendous need they have with their members and the financial burden they have.  This is what Jeep Jam is all about! Not selling cars, not making money! I also wanted to thank everyone for the Contributions.  Our local businesses, vendors and customers listed below made this year’s Jeep Jam so successful.    Fort Wayne is truly a community that cares!    We have already started the planning for next year Jeep Jam 2011.

Sign up on our Facebook page to volunteer for next year and stay up to date on the latest information.
