It's an oft-heard phrase: "It's as American as X!" 'X' can be anything, but usually we see apple pie, baseball, or wearing socks with flip-flops or sandals in place of 'X'. (Seriously though, stop it with the socks and flip-flop/sandal nonsense.)
So, just a topical discussion: Which car/truck/van do you consider to be the quintessential American car? No, we're not getting into the subtle nuances on just where a car is made or anything like that, just which vehicle to you see and proclaim as loudly as you can, "America!"?
The Station Wagon?
The Corvette?
The muscle/pony car?
Maybe trucks?
What say you?
And of course, happy 4th.

Do not sell me any more cars
You mean Nomad. It's OK. 
Probably the pick-up truck. It does seem like the vehicle that the US fascination with confuses the rest of the world the most, save maybe Australia.
Claiming the Elco for this while the Australians argue about it seems pretty American.
No question in my mind.
Mustang.
Also, Pick up truck.
Actually if we talk about cars we did that don't work anywhere else and probably nobody else has done.
Full size convertibles.
Ford Model T
Coupe, Station wagon, Truck, Race car, Hot Rod, depression-era #vanlife. It did it all, and no car around today would be here without it.
Saturn SL. When they were being made, they were the vehicles produced with the highest US-made content. Only the A/C compressor was made overseas.
a brash vehicle designed for marketing of meat compounds packed full of nitrites, salt and preservatives that's shaped like a phallus.
All other suggestions are way off the mark, you're not pulling horse off the grill on the 4th, so it's not a mustang.
I really like that Pontiac Safari wagon in the first picture.
