The Retro Jeep, Perfected
Like most mechanical geeks, Jonathan Ward sees beauty in a well-designed tool. Unlike most geeks, Ward seeks to perfect them. His ICON CJ3B is a bravura reimagining of a 1953 Willys Jeep, designed to withstand not just off-road rigors but also time itself. The CJ3B shows unwavering commitment to function, from the custom steel frame to knobs and badges from aircraft components machined and enameled by hand. This fantasy CJ lives for boulders and mud, yet some inspiration traces to spiffier locales: Ward spotted the body's powder coating on Frank Gehry's Walt Disney Concert Hall, and the vinyl for the seats and roof in a suite at Wynn Las Vegas.
