01
Artifact Overview
Jeep introduced the CJ-7 for 1976. With a wheelbase ten inches longer than the existing CJ-5, the CJ-7 offered a more comfortable ride and improved handling. The available automatic transmission further broadened the new model's appeal. The roomy CJ-7 was practical enough to serve as a family car -- something not necessarily true of its less refined predecessors.

From wartime, to worktime, to playtime, the Jeep has done it all. It's been dressed up, stripped down, reimagined, and retro-styled, but it's never lost its appeal. Yet the Jeep is also an automotive paradox. It’s a timeless design that’s routinely updated, a rugged off-road vehicle refined for highway cruising, and a free-spirited brand coveted and controlled by corporate owners. Above all else, the Jeep is an American original.
