All Jeeps are capable off-road SUV models with a characteristic design and signature appearance. However, in 1956, Jeep introduced a strange model they called the FC, which stood for “Forward Control.” It was a cab-forward, bulldog-style truck with the engine underneath the passengers and all-wheel drive.

Even though the FC was a Jeep, which meant it was a capable, tough and durable machine, the market didn’t respond too well. So, in the nine years of production, Jeep made approximately 30,000 of them, mostly for the export markets. Jeep thought the FC would be a bestseller on the domestic market, but most of the buyers preferred models with more normal looks. Most buyers thought the FC was one of the ugliest trucks the industry produced.
