Jeep is celebrating its 75th anniversary by outfitting its entire lineup with special edition models.

Every special edition model will be available in a unique green shade, either sarge green, recon green or jungle green, depending on the model. Low-gloss bronze wheels along with bronze and orange exterior accents finish the exterior of each. Inside, the seats, which can come wrapped in unique mesh fabric, are embossed with 75th anniversary logos.

The iconic Jeep Wranger with the 75th anniversary treatment will cost $35,570, while four-door Unlimited models will go for $39,370. Features on this model include low-gloss bronze wheels, tow hooks, badges, bumpers, headlamp rings and grille throats. The wheels are wrapped with Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor tires, while unique rock rails and a low-range transfer case prepare this Jeep for the trails. A 75th anniversary grab handle can be found inside along with sport mesh insert seats and a 6.5-inch touchscreen.
