A 1964 CJ-5A Recalls Jeep's First Brush with Luxury

· 1 min read

Jeep dressed up its rugged CJ-5 platform for the 1964 model year with the Tuxedo Park package, adding chrome trim and refined cabin appointments rarely seen on a working 4x4 of that era. The example now listed on Bring a Trailer gives collectors a rare look at how far Jeep pushed comfort before SUVs became mainstream family vehicles.

With reporting from Car and Driver.
