Bill, I'm planning on trading a Jeepster for a Tuxedo Park soon (one wreck for another.) It's pretty stripped, meaning there's not much of the trim on it, though the emblem holes are in the hood. Do you have any Tuxedo Park parts for sale? Do you know who reproduces the trim pieces. I want to learn what makes a Jeep a Tuxedo Park Mark IV.
Thanks,
**Steve E.**
