Chrysler bought the rights to Jeep in 1987 and set about making a few minor changes to the Wagoneer, refining the exterior and addressing some known faults of the car, prompting new branding as the “Grand” Wagoneer. The 1987 plus model year Grand Wagoneers, received improved wood siding, modernized aluminum wheels and two stage base coat/clear coat paint finish.  These examples are known as “the best of the breed”, not because of Chrysler’s marketing, but their high production quality, classic styling and strong mechanicals have caused Jeep enthusiasts to bestow them with that honor.
