Agree with Cape Dory....have two a 28 and a 30 B

Agree with Airstream....have and old one from my dad which is kept at the beach and a 2000 model Classic

Agree with Jeep....92 YJ

Add....blue jeans!

Add....classic shotguns...Model 12 and 870

I don’t have either but a classic Winchester Repeater and Colt wheel gun would have to be added. You have to drive thru Bavaria in Germany and see an Indian village with cowboys chasing Indians on ponies to comprehend what the American West has done to reflect American culture!

Most Iconic Vehicle(S)? Jeep and Airstream of course!

I seem to have a fleet of both, some are projects.

Jeeps: 47 CJ2A, 83 CJ7, 05 TJ Rubicon.

Airstreams: 63 Bambi, '11 30' Classic.

Now all I need to do is find the time to work on a couple of them including the restoration of the Bambi.

Harley Davidson then Airstream. Then everything else on your list. I'm no fan of the tobacco industry but for several decades "Marlboro" was the world's most recognized brand. Go figure!

[SpikePoet]

Your RK Classic looks like a twin to mine including the TourPak and the grip fringe. Good Taste you have! I bought three that were all essentially identical (visually) because my wife still thinks I'm riding the '99. '99, '03, '08.

The first three and the Corvette have very little American-made parts. Ironically the Honda Ridgeline is the most American made vehicle. Definitely the Airstream.

I have owned 60 Volkswagen, 63 Rambler station wagon, 67 Ply Satalite 383 w/4 on the floor, 68 Camaro, 73 Z28, 65 Chevelle 327 four speed, 70 Chevelle SS 454,. 72 Corvette, 89 Mustang GT, and a John Deere tractor. Some iconic, some not, but enjoyed them while they lasted 😀. Oh yeah, my AS sor is nice. Thanks for the memories 😊

Any of the Shelby Mustangs, Any Model A and the BOSS cars. Yes I’m a Ford guy. My 1966 was a great Shelby, sold last year. The market was hot.

I had many hours behind the wheel of a John Deere farm tractor years before ever driving a car, so it’s the green and yellow for me.

My folks won one of these new in ‘59 at the 4th of July fair. White with red leather interior.

#6, nothing screams American pride like tooling down the road in a Vette. Maybe I’m shallow, but I’ve owned everything on the list. But if I was going to pick the most American iconic thing you could own, it would be a cowboy hat (followed closely by jeans, and a flannel shirt).

Sounds pretty Canadian, eh?

Shout out to Boxite, pretty 170 and shiny like my Airstream! While I often remark that airstreams are expensive, they’ve got nothing on Ce$$na$. It’s remarkable to think how much progress there was between the Wright brothers and this 1953 airplane, and how little progress in general aviation since.

Well, between '53 and '69, we did this.

Harley Davidson - 2, Wide Glide & Electra
Ford truck - We have 2
Airstream - I wish, We had 2


Harley in the bed of my Ford pulling my A/S. That how we roll....

We had an 81 CJ7 and now a 93 YJ Jeep :0)

Seeing as we’re talking about a vehicle we pull:
How about the Radio Flyer wagon!
And the first vehicle I bought with my own cash:
A Huffy bike with a banana seat and chopper handlebars mid 1970’s

Yeah, you see operators of Jeeps, Harleys, and Airstreams who flash headlights and wave at one another as they pass. Other vehicles...not so much. Can't remember the last time I saw a pair of Honda Civic owners do that. Just saying.
