Vehicle Description
1974 Jeep Cherokee S
The Cherokee was marketed as the "sporty" two-door variant of the
of the Wagoneer. Together the Wagoneer and Cherokee pioneered the
Luxury SUV to how we know it today. Options such as power steering,
power brakes, Air Conditioning, premium seating materials, power
rear glass all showed up on the Cherokee and Wagoneer models. In
fact, the words "Sport Utility" was first used on a Jeep Cherokee
sales brochure in 1974, the year the Cherokee nameplate debuted.
Overall, the Cherokee was ahead of its time and many credit them
the SUV craze of the 1990's.
