    I was looking at a jeep that had all the usual tuxedo park stuff but no Tuxedo park emblems on the on the hood. It is a 64 or 65 with a column shifted T-90 and an F-Head, chrome bumper and hood hinges. Could it still be a tuxedo Park w/o the emblems on the side of the hood. I'm pretty sure it was the orig. hood. Thanks, Jeff

    If it's the orig Tux hood, then there should be 2 holes on each side to hold the emblems.

    Got holes?

    It is likely a tux, however the serial number should tell the story.

    The bench seat was an option - don't know about the column shift. I'd expect you could get it if you ordered it though; Jeep was flexible about such things. At the very least it could be installed by the dealership using service parts... that too was common.
