Elle Decor Magazine, to which I'm sure most of you subscribe, featured Ralph Lauren and his "#1 obsession" a "1951 Willys Jeep". The ad appeared on page 98. I hate to quibble with a fashionista magazine like Elle, but I'm pretty sure that man is sporting a CJ-2A and not a 1951 jeep of any kind. (See link here http://www.elledecor.com/celebrity-style/shortlist/ralph-lauren?click=main_sr#slide-1 the '51 comment is mentioned on slide 2)

Now Dave, you know that magazines can't let facts get in the way of a good article. I'm sure all of their subscribers wouldn't care what year or model that jeep is anyway.

I saw that article....3 of his top 10...willys, old hat, hamburgers. Nice list. After seeing the magazine come across my desk I did a search on the web and there is another image of him in the jeep giving Oprah a ride. Kinda weird but they look like they are having a good time.

All the "Well to do's" have places out there in the San Juan's. Oprah, Tom Cruise, Ralph's Kauren's place is the best. I believe Telluride is their draw but Ouray and Silverton is where all us "Low Brow" go!
