3) 1960 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40

The Land Cruiser is the beast that has carried every burden thrown atop it in every corner of the earth. And the Cruiser that’s worth remembering is the FJ40 that appeared first in 1960. Larger and more robust than previous versions of the Cruiser, the FJ40 was plain tough. It wasn’t sophisticated or luxurious, and it was pretty agricultural in operation. But that’s exactly what it needed to be. The FJ40 continued almost unchanged for more than 20 years, a tribute to its brutishly effective design. In 1983, the last new one was sold in the United States, while the last one rolled off the line in Japan in 1984—a full 24 years after it was introduced.
