The record
The Tuxedo Park name first appeared as a trim option in 1961 and became a separate model, the Mark IV, for 1964, with chrome trim, a column-shifted gearbox, a padded dash and a choice of bright colours. It was the beginning of the CJ as a leisure vehicle; the Dauntless V6 became optional in 1965.
