Depends on what you mean by “most American” but I’d put the Ford F-150 up there.
Seems like you’re getting some “Classic Americana” answers too from others, so maybe that’s what you were going for
Model T is probably the correct answer.
Ford Mustang. Not the Cobra.
‘69 Daytona/Superbird
The Chevy Suburban.
It’s American to the bone… it’s huge… always was huge… and has been in continuous production for nearly 90 fucking years.
This is the best answer, the only answer and you can come fight me if you disagree.
[The Hummer H2.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uj2e_kqiN-Y)
The car is the living embodiment of early 2000s America.
The Corvette
F-150, hands down.
It has to be any pickup truck from the Ford F-series line. No other vehicle besides the “hot-rod” has ever been a more quintessential example of American motor vehicle history and contributed as vastly to the world wide spread of Americana.
Ford Model 18 aka 32 Ford or Deuce Coupe
1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air
Both are quintessentially American and are recognizable by people who don’t know shit about cars. They might not the name or make, but they would at least recognize the vehicle.
1995 Ford F-150
Overall or in recent years?
Overall I’d say the ford model T, since it was the first mainstream manufactured American car.
I remember reading recently that the most American made car *currently* is the Tesla Model Y.
1967 Shelby Mustang GT500
The Willys Jeep
Chevrolet Suburban. Longest model of continuous production and has been an Amercian stolen for generations. True “SUV” built body on frame and until very recently with a solid rear axle like a pickup truck. V8 engine and 3 rows of seats it can tow like a half ton pickup and haul kids/gear like a minivan. Most American thing I can think of is a family of four living the suburbs driving their Suburban to drop the kids off at school.
[The Ford Model T.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Model_T) It opened automobile ownership to the middle class, setting the stage for the American car culture we see today.
Modern America? The F150 which is the most sold vehicle in the US
Anything that rusts out quickly and gets 8 mpg would qualify.
The Canyonero

Corvette is an American icon
The Edsel.
Completely different but the Grumman LLV aka a mail truck. The USPS owns over 100,000 of them purchased from 1987-1994 and there’s a crap ton of them still going strong 30+ years later. Designed and assembled in the US, immediately recognizable, freaking tanks.
F-150 and Silverado
I would say the Corvette or the Mustang. That in my own opinion what I think of when you ask the above question.
The Canyonero.
Ford Model-T
It literally led to the entire creation of American car culture that shapes every aspect of American life, from the way our cities are laid out to the way our homes are built.
It was an innovative American product using all the hallmarks of American industriousness built by Americans in America for Americans from American made parts and materials.
Ford F-150, Symbolizes everything about America. It’s the most successful vehicle ever made, and one of the most widely known vehicles around the world.
Corvair
Amazed no one is saying anything about Monster Trucks. Nothing more American then watching a truck as big as a house do donuts and crush other cars while eating deep fried food at a fair grounds.
The Ford Galaxie stands out in my mind as being exuberantly American in its sensibilities. It was just a Big. Fucking. Car. And that’s all it was. They took the general idea of a car, did absolutely nothing revolutionary to it in terms of style or functionality, and just made it big. A big, fat fucking rolling eyesore. I can imagine Italians designing the Corvette, or Russians the Hummer, in an alternate reality, but I can’t imagine any other nation bringing the Ford Galaxie to market. It was the car that says “Cars are good, so 30% more car has to be better, right?”
Ford Thunderbird 1957 or Cadillac 1959 with oversized fins
Ford raptor
Jeep
Jeep. It won World War II
Based on the name, either the Eagle Talon, Jeep Liberty, or Jeep Patriot.
Tesla
The Oscar Meyer Wiener Mobile
Chrysler K car.
Dodge Challenger Hellcat.
Big, impractical, and way over powered.
Ford Crown Victoria (and its Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car variants) was the last *real* American Car to be sold…. although I believe it was manufactured in Ontario Canada.
Rear wheel drive, body on frame construction, huge and comfortable, gigantic trunk. It was the last hurrah for the full size American Car.
So many cabs, cops, limos, etc. used this car for so long in their fleets that I’m going to go with this answer. Engines were indestructible.
Olds.
Obviously the wieinermobile
