A jeep is a jeep is a jeep. Its so iconic and ingrained in society that we aren't even referring to it by its actual model name, its just a jeep. Like a coke is a coke, whether you get zero, regular, diet, etc.
virtually the only thing that is even remotely similar between a jeep now and a jeep then is the grill/lights, and even that is a stretch. you can keep on with your fantasy that a $100k 2024 loaded out Rubicon is first cousins with the vehicle that carried Patton across France, but the fact is that it is much closer to your wife's Yukon parked at Rouse's.

I actually agree with this and thats not what I'm claiming
Patton could get warped to the future, see a jeep, and would guess that its the future version of a jeep.
Would someone from the past say the same about the new Bronco, if you hid the logos? Maybe. But I'm not as sure as I am with the jeep example.

Flathead Willys 4 cyl. motor, wipers turn by hand, relatively simple to disassemble, blackout lights, gun rack (not bolted on in this photo), etc.
