Press Release 7/12/19
PERTH AMBOY – Over 400 Xtreme Jeeps are cruising into Perth Amboy. The enormous convoy of Jeeps will be on exhibit along Sadowski Parkway on Saturday, July 20, beginning at noon. This year, a pack of fully-customized Jeeps with the coolest equipment, chrome-plated gear, huge tires and exotic light bars will also be parked on the beach by Raritan Bay.
Perth Amboy’s third annual Xtreme Jeep Show is free to attend. Arrive early and view the Jeeps and speak with the owners from more than 40 Jeep clubs. Jeep owners are coming from across New Jersey and as far away as Connecticut, New York, Maryland, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. See plenty of Jeep models including the CJ-models 1 to 7 as well as the Renegade I and II, Super Jeep, Golden Eagle, and Golden Hawk. Jeep owners are also bringing their Wrangler Unlimited, Sport, Freedom Edition, Shara, Altitude, Rubicon and Reconmodels as well as many more.
The Xtreme Jeep Show is sponsored by the City of Perth Amboy, its Business Improvement District (BID) and the Perth Amboy Jeep Club. Among the trophies the owners and Jeep clubs are competing for is the highly-coveted King of Kings Champion award, which Perth Amboy Mayor Wilda Diaz will present to the winner. Members of the Perth Amboy Jeep Club, which has the largest membership in the state, will bring 49 incredible vehicles to the event.
According to Benito Lopez, president of the Perth Amboy Jeep Club, “Our city is hosting one of the biggest Xtreme Jeep events on the East Coast and possibly the entire United States. We invite you to get an up-close look at the most outrageous, tricked-out, and themed Jeeps displayed in one place.”
Jeep owners may register their vehicles beginning at 11 a.m., and the cost is $20. For more details about participating in the boldest Xtreme Jeep Show, contact the Perth Amboy BID office at 732-826-0290, ext. 4050, or by email sent to RConvery@perthamboynj.org.
