The Ten Best Post-Apocalyptic Survival Vehicles

By Miss Cellania in Car & Vehicle on Nov 26, 2009 at 11:09 am


Jalopnik asked its readers for suggestions on what vehicles would be best for surviving and traveling in a post-apocalyptic world. Nine existing vehicles and one semi-fictional vehicle made the cut. Pictured is the Dobbertin Surface Orbiter.

Built out of an old milk tanker, the Orbiter was designed to circumnavigate the globe on land and water, which is good for when you’re on the move and forced to deal with the suddenly changing seasons that the nuclear fallout will likely bring. And like all good survival vehicles, it comes complete with a kitchen and porta-potti.

    And now I'm straining to remember the sci-fi B movie I saw many years ago that had a vehicle just like that, traveling around a savage-filled landscape.

    Could it be Damnation Alley with Jan-Michael Vincent?

    My pleasure. It's not often that I get to access my random database of useless facts. Happy Thanksgiving!!!

    Yep, the Landmaster was the first thing I thought of, and apparently so it was for many of the commenters on that page.
    I used to ride past it where it was parked against the hillside in front of Jeffries Automotive Styling on the Cahuenga Pass for about 20 years!
    Kinda sad watching it disintegrate... until they finally restored it before selling it off.
