2. Jeep CJ/Willys MB
Created during World War II, the Jeep Willys MB was all about function over form—spartan, uncomfortable, and purely utilitarian.
No one expected this military workhorse to become a civilian icon.
Yet its unmatched ruggedness and legendary go-anywhere capability inspired a worldwide love for off-roading.
The enduring popularity of the Jeep CJ proves that a vehicle built for survival can also spark a passionate following that lasts for generations.
