- 1. Eight Jeep vehicles were to be specially painted gold with black trim and upholstery and would be displayed in a Chinese waterfront setting;
- 2. The vehicles were part of the advertising program of a new fall television series called “Hong Kong“.
You can see a copy of the press release below:
