THE LEGENDARY VEHICLE THAT MADE ‘THE LUXURY SUV’ A HOUSEHOLD NAME. The 1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer is the quintessential classic "woodie" luxury SUV. It features an AMC 360 cubic-inch (5.9L) V8 engine paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission, Selec-Trac full-time four-wheel drive, and an iconic interior boasting plush leather seating, wood-grain trim, and deep-pile carpeting. The Jeep Wagoneer is a luxury 4x4 produced and marketed under the Jeep brand from the 1963 to 1991 model years. Introduced as the replacement for the Jeep Station Wagon, the Wagoneer was the first Jeep model line completely distinct from the Jeep CJ. Designed as a truck-based station wagon, the model line became a progenitor of the modern sport-utility vehicle (SUV). The 1989–1991 model years are considered the "best of the breed" because of many improvements. These include upgraded wood siding and modernized aluminum alloy wheels. Chrysler also introduced an electrocoat primer for better rust-proofing, and all exterior colors were now applied in a two-stage base-clearcoat system.
