 the Ford Bronco and over 75 years of the Jeep.Sport Utility Vehicles t
 oday are often more Luxury than Sport or Utility. Plush heated leather
  seats, automatic four-wheel-drive and power everything are the norm a
 nd often outsell the bread-and-butter sedans offered. Most never go of
 f the pavement.“It’s as faithful as a dog, as strong as a mule and
  agile as a goat.” – War correspondent Ernie Pyle describing the J
 eep.Years ago, it was a completely different mindset. Our world famous
  Jeep and the British Land Rover were borne from necessity. A military
  needed a rugged, capable vehicle to get from Point A to Point B when 
 no roads connected the two. Farmers, ranchers, hunters and guides were
  desperate for something to reach places not on the map. Just ask Marl
 in Perkins from “Wild Kingdom”! Off-road traction and keen mechani
 cal survival skills were more important than doors, heaters, carpeting
  or other ‘creature comforts’.The AACA salutes these icons and the
  vehicles begat from them. Ford GP-No.1, a prototype for a light, rugg
 ed four-wheel-drive vehicle for reconnaissance and other military use,
  was delivered to the Army for tests Nov. 23, 1940. Built by Ford, Wil
 lys and Bantam, this rugged vehicle became the Jeep we all know today.
  The first generation Ford Bronco, introduced in 1966, had a twelve-ye
 ar run with a huge cult following and later became infamous as O.J. le
 d the LA police on the world’s slowest chase. Diminutive offerings f
 rom Asia such as the Suzuki Samurai emerged as the icons grew in size.
  All told, these early simplistic vehicles changed the way the world t
 raveled to the far reaches of the globe.\nThank you to our GOLD Level
