We had a discussion at work a while back about- what are the great American icons? To be an icon it must be widely recognizable, span more that one generation and be of American origin. My vote goes for:

Jeeps
Harley Davidsons
Corvettes
Marilyn Monroe
Cocoa Cola

In particular fiberglass Commanders 1964 to 1972 unless you include the 410's which went well into the 1980's.
