Car sales on the rise

Business is booming at local car dealerships, with many dealers saying they can't keep vehicles in stock. FOX 5 NY takes a look at why cars are flying off the lots.

Americans of all ages can apparently agree on one thing: They salute Jeep.

The SUV maker has once again topped the annual Brand Keys survey of most patriotic American brands.

The market research outfit surveyed 5,804 people ages 16 to 65 across the political spectrum and asked them to rank 1,172 brands on a single criterion: patriotism.

Jeep retains strong ties to its World War II legacy and builds most of its models at U.S. factories. But it is owned by the multinational conglomerate Stellantis, which is based in the Netherlands.

Among automakers, Ford, which employs more hourly workers in the U.S. than any other automaker and sells the most vehicles that are built here, tied with Amazon for fourth while California-based Tesla was listed at No. 30.

Harley-Davidson was the only other vehicle manufacturer on the list at No. 14.
