#NAIAS: Jeep Trailblazes Through Motor City With 75th Anniversary 2016 Wrangler Special Editions

With all of the exceptional images out there, It is pretty easy to get lost in our expansive 2016 Detroit Auto Show Gallery.  So I pieced together some scattered images of the latest offerings that Jeep brought to  Motor City. 

Celebrating their 75th anniversary the 2016 Wrangler Special Edition comes in a unique Jungle Green color and unique front headlight surrounds.  If you are in to retro, this one is for you.

Not to be out done, the Special edition Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited models look very capable,  in fact these are the most capable snow offering available in the lineup. (Keep that in mind for those mountain treks) I particularly like the stand out purple color if you are willing to make a statement  but the ultra cool Granite Crystal has to be my favorite color teamed up with the green interior.

The Official Jeep Press Release on the 75 Anniversary Special Edition Models:
