Default 2,000,000th XJ

Remember seeing a picture of Bill Clinton standing on a RHD Cherokee in 1996 celebrating two millionth model built.
Wonder where is that now? I have a RHD 1996 xj green like in that picture. I must read the Vin number and see how close it was to that exact Jeep. Would the Vin tag simply say 2000000 on it?

Thanks

edit. makes sense since you said it was RHD, nvm what I said!

Wow, I'm guessing all those guys spraying clear coat without a respirator are pretty much dead by now. Interesting video. Thanks for sharing.

That was an export , I remember when he was here they actually had to close the plant for 2 days . I can't believe that Chrysler allowed him to do that but it was cool with me .
