TBT: 1980 Jeep Laredo!
If you were to sum up the Laredo model in one word, it would be "chrome".
The first thing that really sticks out, is its distinctive (and gorgeous) chrome grille. The chrome bumper, wheels, hood emblem, and trim add to its polished look.
But that's not all it had to offer. Its optional high-backed contoured bucket seats, carpeting, air conditioning, and the available hard or soft top gave it versatility to shine out on the town as well as it did on the trails!
Although no longer in production, the Laredo name is tied to the Jeep and lives on to this day as a trim option for the Grand Cherokee. And while a Laredo package was available for the original Wrangler (YJ), its origin lies in the original Jeep CJ-5 (and CJ-7) models of yesteryear.
