In 1996 this Bronco became the first Ford with turn signals built into its side mirrors, then Ford killed it.

Twenty-five years in, the Bronco finally got leather: the 1991 Silver Anniversary Edition's gray leather interior was the first time Ford had ever offered leather seats in a Bronco.

The yellow Wranglers chasing dinosaurs in Jurassic Park were not movie-only specials — they were simply 1992 Wrangler Sahara models, straight off the regular production line.

The TJ's door handles trace back to 1968 AMC passenger cars -- they, along with the AMC straight-six engine, weren't retired until this generation ended in 2006.

The extra-long One Two Seven wasn't built on its own frame — Land Rover took a standard One Ten chassis, cut it in half, welded in 17 inches of new steel, and reunited the two halves.

Toyota launched the 60 Series in South Africa by entering a completely stock, unmodified Land Cruiser in the brutal Toyota 1000 km Desert Race across the wilds of Botswana.

The 100 Series was the first Land Cruiser ever offered with a V8 — and Toyota built it specifically to chase North American buyers, who got nothing else.
