EXACT like a clone with same motor tranny and axles, all the same. I'm sure there would be thousands of people wanting to get there hands on brand new 0 milage classic cars or even cherokees. not like the modern mustangs and challengers and cherokees, that they all remodeled. just my $.02

i think it'd be great
When manufactures do make a car similar to the clasics, they price them so high, very few people can afford them, so sales figures stay low.

You can buy a brand new 1940 Ford Coupe body today, but will be shocked at the cost...

There are more 1932 Ford cars now, than Ford ever produced...

The Commanders look similar, but weight is about 4800 lb, compared to

2800 lb XJ....
Even if you brought the XJ to market today, but with all the required equipment, you likely are looking at 3500 to 4000 lbs.

Jeep hasn't been around for "nearly 100 years"

Why do people continue to expect a company to loose money on models they can't make profit on.

The first vehicle I ever drove was a Jeep truck, I believe early 50s model.
I was about 7 year old...
