Across the lineup, 75th Anniversary models will be offered with special interior and exterior colors, trim and, of course, badges
Jeep special editions
Here at Lot Pro we're about a mile away from FCA's massive headquarters in Auburn Hills. As such, each weekday morning we'd be hard pressed to swing a dead cat by the tail and not hit scores of "special edition" Jeeps making their caffeine-and-gasoline-fueled way to the automaker's suburban campus.
Thus for us it's no surprise that FCA's off-road brand has announced yet another batch of uniquely badged-and-blinged models – this time covering the entire lineup to celebrate Jeep's 75th anniversary.
75th Anniversary Jeeps
"In honor of the brand’s 75th anniversary, we have created eye-catching, special-edition models of each vehicle in our lineup that celebrate the unparalleled history of the legendary Jeep brand," announced Mike Manley, Head of Jeep Brand – FCA Global.
Additional colors plus a unique green will be available, although the shade of green – Sarge, Recon or Jungle – will depend upon the model. Additionally, Low Gloss Bronze wheels, Bronze and Orange exterior accents, the requisite exterior badge (75th Anniversary) as well as anniversary edition-specific interiors (that include seats with an embossed 75th Anniversary logo or covered in special "Ombre Mesh" fabric).
