Dodge is one of the companies that isn’t shy to do a tie-in with a special trim package or advertising on their vehicles. The Dodge Jean Machine was an upmarket truck model that had a special edition paint job, a jean-inspired theme, and a special edition interior. There’s no denying that this truck was a one-of-a-kind offering (via SM Classic Cars).

You’ve probably never seen a Jean Machine in person because this truck was extremely rare. The interior of the Jean Machine often featured denim upholstery on seats and door panels, and sometimes even denim storage pockets, mimicking the style of jeans pockets. Options like this had never been seen on a pickup truck before and it made the Jean Machine quite a unique offering. Other models featured this special edition trim such as the Ram Tradesman Van.
