The Jeep Wagoneer was a luxury fourbie produced and marketed by Jeep under three different automakers–Kaiser, AMC and Chrysler–from 1962 to all the way up until 1991. It actually all started with Willy’s-Overland Motors, though. Back in the early 1960s, Willys-Overland Motors was owned by Kaiser Jeep Corporation, and they decided they needed to develop something more technologically advanced and capable, a response to offerings from Chrysler, Ford and General Motors starting to encroach on Jeep’s four wheel drive stronghold.

The Wagoneer had a sophisticated “station wagon” body design that was more carlike than any other 4x4 on the market at the time, most of which were still producing trucks that favored grit over luxury and comfort. The Wagoneer had things like an independent front suspension, power steering, an automatic transmission, a factory radio, and even air-conditioning. When it all came together, you got all the great performance stuff you’d expect in a capable 4x4, but the driving comfort of a car. Especially in the Grand Wagoneer trim, which was the Wagoneers most luxurious and well-appointed version, which can be spotted easily by looking for the sweet, sweet characteristic wood vinyl decals. 

10,159 1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneers were built, and 101,637 Grand Wagoneers were built during its entire production run. Of those, the 1989 versions are among the most highly sought-after (and heavily priced), largely due to its interior upgrades.
