Having been built from necessity and evolved into commonality, experience various models that took the jeep from Wartime Hero to Weekend Warrior. Initially intended for military service, soldiers found the jeep agile and able to go almost anywhere. Postwar it became the vehicle of choice for off-road travel. Various manufacturers have used jeeps for delivering mail, as the basis for Zamboni® ice machines, farm work, cab forward pickups, family-style SUVs, and even hy-railway systems. Today, the jeep is regarded as one of the most popular American 4×4 vehicles. This exhibition will be on display July 14 – November 8, 2026.
