Are you up for the challenge? Check it out for yourself, and be sure to pay attention to context clues. We'll give you our guess, below.
It's hard to tell from this close up, but this Jeep vehicle is dressed to the nines. Can you name it? #TBT pic.twitter.com/GiBCKRGNzk

It would be easy to say this is a simple CJ-5 (ancestor of the Jeep Wrangler), but due to a small hint in the text, we don't think it's that easy. Fortunately, we happen to be familiar with an interesting bit Jeep history. In the early 60s, Jeep vehicles, then produced by Kaiser, were seen almost exclusively as working vehicles. In an effort to combat this image "problem," Kaiser added a trim upgrade to the CJ-5 that featured chrome and ceramic accents, and a refined, more upscale, interior. A few years after its introduction, it became its own model.
Knowing this, our guess is the 1964 Jeep Tuxedo Park. Do you have a different answer? Let us know in the comments, and be sure to check in with @Jeep tomorrow, for the official reveal.
