Jeep
Discontinued: 1949
The world’s first mass-produced civilian 4x4. Born from WWII’s legendary MB, this rugged pioneer introduced the iconic seven-slot grille and proved that Jeeps weren’t just for soldiers anymore.
Discontinued: 1951
America’s last phaeton-style roadster was Jeep’s glamorous attempt at luxury. With side curtains instead of windows and distinctive boxy styling, only 19,132 were made. Good luck finding it today, it’s one of Jeep’s rarest vintage discontinued cars ever.
Discontinued: 1953
The CJ-3A featured a one-piece windshield and improved comfort. A fun fact. These platforms for early Zamboni ice resurfacers from 1950 to 1964.
Discontinued: 1968
This Jeep’s distinctive tall hood housed the powerful new Hurricane engine. While US production ended in ’68, international versions kept rolling until 1998, when Mitsubishi was licensed to build 200,000 more.
Discontinued: 1983
The longest-lived “Universal” Jeep with 603,303 built over nearly 30 years. This model was based on the Korean War’s M38A1. It featured that beautiful rounded hood design that defined Jeep for generations.
Discontinued: 1986
As the first major Jeep redesign in 20 years, the CJ-7 brought automatic transmission capability and optional steel doors. After 379,299 units were produced, it gracefully passed the torch to the Wrangler era.
Discontinued: 1985
America’s first small 4x4 pickup with fewer than 30,000 built. This rare extended CJ-7 with a pickup bed is now a holy grail for collectors. Its international name was codenamed CJ-8.
Discontinued: 1991
The luxury SUV pioneer. This Jeep featured independent front suspension and an automatic transmission in a 4x4. Both industry firsts. Her 29-year production run created the premium SUV segment from Escalade to Denali.
Discontinued: 1991
The “gold standard” luxury SUV with leather, wood grain, and unmatched refinement. Each Grand Wagoneer generated $5,000-6,000 profit per unit. Final editions even got special dashboard badges.
Discontinued: 1987
Full-size workhorses sharing Wagoneer DNA. Started as “Gladiator,” this Jeep became the J-Series in ’71. It was the first 4WD pickup with an automatic transmission. Military versions (M715) served worldwide.
Discontinued: 1971
The Bronco fighter. The C-101 was available as a pickup, convertible, roadster, or wagon. The ultra-rare 1971 Hurst edition had only ~100 units with special performance touches.

AMC’s brief redesign with a longer wheelbase and a controversial full-width grille. Only ~20,000 were built in two years before being replaced by the full-size Cherokee SJ.
Discontinued: 1995
The only square-headlight Wrangler. Over 630,000 were built, marking the transition from CJ to the modern Wrangler era. Chrysler bought AMC shortly after its launch for $1.5 billion.
Discontinued: 1992
The innovative unibody pickup that set Bonneville speed records at 144 mph. Based on the Cherokee XJ platform, 190,446 MJs were built. Only 952 made it in the final year. It was the Jeep pickup until 2019.
Discontinued: 2010
Jeep’s first seven-seater pushed boundaries with distinctive boxy styling. ~200,000 sold, mostly in the launch year. But it was a victim of the economic downturn despite its innovative three-row design.
Discontinued: 2017
The most affordable Jeep with the most patriotic name. The Patriot MK was manufactured in Illinois throughout its run, and it proved that traditional Jeep styling could work in the compact crossover segment.
Discontinued: 2017
The first-gen Compass shared DNA with the Patriot and the Dodge Caliber. Trail Rated capability arrived in 2011. This Jeep was reimagined for the second generation on a new global platform.
