The Jeep - Standing the Test of Time

Through the years, vehicles change. The shape. The size. The colors. One vehicle has stood the test of time sticking to its same basic, yet very memorable and stylish design - the Jeep.

While the Jeep has sometimes been described as a “sardine can on wheels,” since its creation in the 1930s as a vehicle used as a light, rugged “reconnaissance car” to provide speedy movement of key personnel and equipment in the rear and on the battlefield, it has become one of, if not the most recognizable automotive silhouettes in the world. It also made “four-wheel drive” a household term.

Check out this story in the American that says - "...the Jeep is one of the most influential designs in automotive history.
