1966 Jeep CJ-5
I've decided that the Lotto Garage just has to have a Jeep. But not one of those modern-day bloated numbers — no thanks. This little red short-wheelbase CJ-5 from 1966 looks just about right. Might have to lose that clunky-looking spare tire on the side and move it to the back though. And of course, the top would be permanently off as, even though it's a four-wheel-drive vehicle, I'd use it as a fair weather runabout. After all, the Lotto Garage will have other, more wintry-type vehicles for that time of year! In '66 Jeep was still owned by Kaiser, and this was the second year that the former Buick 3.7-liter V-6 engine resided under the hood. That and a three-speed manual tranny would make for my ideal Jeep powertrain. — jc
