At the request of a member…
Recently, we received a request from a member who was interested in knowing more about the Tuxedo Park – and we are happy to oblige! Here is a brief history and general”list of options” for those who want to know more about what the “Tuxedo Park” Jeep® was all about:
Is it a trim package, a CJ-5, or a CJ-6? Well, the answer is yes!
In 1961, Kaiser was coming to the realization that it had an image problem. The broader masses believed the Jeep to be a great…vehicle — that is, if you needed to work on the farm, go hunting, or partake in some other industrious activity. To fix this “problem” they decided to introduce a new, more “upscale” version of the CJ-5. So…in 1961, the Tuxedo Park was introduced as a trim package. It is widely believed that these trim packages (Tuxedo Park I, II and III) were offered between 1961-1963, and included chrome add-ons, along with an “Indian Ceramic” steering wheel (in place of the standard black). The seats also received an upgrade to “Black British Calf Grain Vinyl with Indian Ceramic Facings” (Trim Code L-29).
In 1964, Kaiser promoted the Tuxedo Park as it’s own separate model (Tuxedo Park Mark IV) for the CJ-5A and CJ-6A. The Tuxedo Park Mark IV included several options that set it apart from the standard Jeep®. These options included:
– Chrome front bumper
– Chrome hood badges
– Windshield clamp catch
– Chrome drop down license plate holder
– Chrome tail lamps
– Hubcap displaying the “Jeep” emblem
– Column shift
**If you suspect you may have one of these models, check the prefix of your vehicle’s VIN tag. The CJ-5A Tuxedo Park Mark IV has a prefix of “8322”, while the CJ-6A Tuxedo Park Mark IV has a prefix of “8422”.
Unfortunately, this model never gained the popularity that was hoped for, and only approximately 460 of the CJ-6A models were ever produced, making them a rare find for those in the market. If you have a Tuxedo Park Mark IV, it is much more likely that yours is one of the CJ-5A models. While these vehicles did not capture the undivided attention of the masses, they were a valid attempt at becoming something “more” than what Jeep® appeared to be in 1960, and opened the door for other models that were to come…

I have a 64 Tuxedo park, there is a lot of little differences in a TP and a CJ 5. The Trans has different gears, the axels have different gears, they have a single four wheel drive shifter, three on the tree. They have chrome bumpers, windshield hinges, inside and out, hood latches, and tail lights. They have a dropdown license plate holder, backup lights. They had chrome wheel covers and whitewall tires, plus all kinds of little options. The Tuxedo park is not a CJ 5 with some chrome on them they are an attempt to sell Jeeps to the general public.

My first car was a new CJ-5A in blue with a blue interior. Ventilating windshield and every option available. Kept it until 1969 when I replaced it with a red and white, C101 Jeepsteer. Great vehicles!

I just purchased on Sunday September 25th 2016, a 1964 Jeep CJ5A Tuxedo Park. It is completely original except having at sometime had the 3 on the tree shift moved to the floor. This Jeep has 61,000 original miles and runs and drives very smoothly. It has some surface rust and some small dents and dings and scratched paint. But not bad enough that I feel like restoring the body. It even has 5 hubcaps the 2 fronts with the holes for the hubs and both rears and one on the spare.
I do want to get the seats recovered in red vinyl and find some kind of bar that fits the body to drape a bikini top across.
This Jeep also came with a Complete Hard Top with roll-up windows not the typical slider windows in most tops.
This Jeep spent most if not all of it’s life parked under cover on a ranch in the high desert of the Okanogan Highlands of North Central Washington State.

My 1964 CJ5 has all of the Tuxedo Park chrome pieces, etc. The only difference is the 3 speed shift is on the floor. My Dad bought this new and there has never been changes made. Can anyone verify if this is a Tuxedo Park?

Why did it get the name Tuxedo Park? I grew up in a town by that name in NY state.
