Our Two Cents: The Cars We’d Carve on Mt. Rushmore

The Hagerty feature “Our Two Cents: The Cars We’d Carve on Mt. Rushmore” explores which American vehicles could earn a fictional automotive Mount Rushmore. The prompt comes from Stefan Lombard, and the article frames the debate around cars that shaped or dramatically changed the U.S. automotive landscape. While the writers largely align on early-era picks, their selections for later models differ, and they note that many worthy candidates still wouldn’t make the “mountain.” Examples mentioned include the Pontiac GTO and Chrysler minivans. The piece also includes an editor’s note that AI wasn’t used for writing, though it was used to generate an image representation for the article’s visuals.
