01

Artifact Overview

AMC introduced a new compact, unibody design on its Cherokee and Wagoneer models for 1984. They were the most thoroughly redesigned Jeeps in 20 years, and they were an immediate hit. These XJ-series Jeeps combined the flexibility of four-wheel drive with the comfortable ride of a sedan, and they pioneered the modern concept of the sport utility vehicle.

    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.
