Includes a Warn OD. I wonder if the light on the inside dash is for monitoring the blinkers.

I would be interested in this vehicle if it was a genuine Tux Park. It does have some of the TP features such as Indian Ceramic steering wheel, chrome grab bar. Hard to tell from the photos if the tail lamps and hood hinges are correct. TP had chrome mirrors but no mirrors here. Isn’t it supposed to have a column shift? Would the serial number be helpful?
Denny, 1961-1963 the ‘tux’ was a series of Tux packages. It wasn’t until 1964 that the Tux Park has it’s own model, including adding a column shift. Here’s a little more info: https://blog.kaiserwillys.com/a-brief-history-of-the-tuxedo-park

Dave: Thanks for the info. I also Googled a few other sites that mention the Tux Park. Apparently Indian Ceramic was the usual color for the early TPs. This one has the same color under the hood so I guess it’s an authentic Mark III.
As a car nut I can verify that Indian Ceramic was used by Kaiser on their automobiles in the late 40s – early 50s. In a least one year they actually had the name of the color in chrome script on the front fender. I know of no other car that had this treatment.
