We've all been there. Thankfully the Spanish shop Hurtan has the right vehicle for you: a custom-body [Jeep ]()Wrangler that looks like a 1930s off-roader. It's called the Hurtan Vintage and it starts life as a JK-generation[ Jeep Wrangler]() but it ends up looking like something Jay Gatsby would off-road. After the re-body, the Wrangler looks like an Art Deco-era sedan, with its rounded rear roofline, swoopy front fenders, fender-mounted spare wheel, and big protruding headlamps. The door handles give away its Wrangler roots but the rest of it looks very much like an '30s sedan. The signature Jeep grille is also replaced with a massive chrome grille, similar to that of a '30s Rolls-Royce. ![]() ![]() ![]() While the roof no longer comes off like it does on a stock Wrangler, the center roof panels of the Vintage are still removable, creating a massive panoramic sunroof. Not much has changed inside, though. Hurtan replaced the stock Jeep trim with wood trim, reupholstered the seats with richer leather, and embossed "Vintage" badges into the headrests. Other than that, it looks very much like a JK Jeep Wrangler inside. That's fine, though, as you get old-school looks outside but new-school creature comforts inside. You can personalize your Hurtan Vintages color scheme, with choices of either single or two-tone exterior paints, and custom interior finishes. According to Hurtan, two engine choices are available: a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gas engine with 266 horsepower, or a 2.2-liter diesel with 197 horsepower. Both have automatic transmissions and four-wheel drive. However, it's interesting to see the 2.0-liter engine offered, as Jeep didn't begin offering its 2.0-liter turbo-four until the JL generation. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Socialite jokes aside, this Hurtan Vintage is pretty cool. It's a unique custom-body car that adds a ton of character and uniqueness to an incredibly common SUV that you're probably bored of seeing. But since it *is* just a common Jeep underneath, parts are affordable and readily available, making the Vintage relatively low-maintenance. Hurtan doesn't list how much a Vintage costs, or if you have to source the Wrangler yourself, as each car is custom ordered. It likely isn't cheap but it's also one of the only ways to go off-roading in 1930s style. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
