The large local boat dealer here in Houghton Lake has been selling these for about a year and a half now. What was told to me by a salesman when I stopped to check one out was that after WW2, Jeep sold the rights to manufacturer Jeeps to different countries. Toyota in Japan,Mahindra in India,for the local markets.Not being able to be registered for on road use(at least in Michigan),I kind of lost interest in them.
