    There's an article about the Jeepster in "Hemming's Classic Car" this month (July). They show this handsome green Jeepster

    with a factory soft half cab. The article text implies that the half-cab bulkhead was used with this top. Anybody seen one of these?

    I have never seen one in person, but the parts book does show that as an option.

    My partster came with a home made soft top 1/2 cab.

    these parts diagrams suggest no bulkhead, just a framework for the top.
    I would assume the parts book top shown below is of Whitco manufacture.
    I've not seen one on a Jeepster personally.

    It didn't stay on, we only installed it loosely for a photo shoot to see what it looked like installed. Russell, aka nothumn over at the JCCA is currently working on repro'ng them, haven't heard lately how that's coming along. And yes, this one is a factory NOS top, not mine unfortunately :(.

    Russell and Greg are still working on a new full top that looks similar to the old Kayline. The 1/2 cab comes next. The coolest part is they're designing them so the hardware interchanges.
