1973 | Ford Bronco
Overview
Introduced in 1966, Ford’s first-generation Bronco joined a group of now-longstanding American automotive icons. Just two years after the Mustang’s debut, the original SUV’s clean lines married versatile simplicity with rugged capability. Early trucks won over buyers with pickup, roadster, and wagon body styles and optional V8 power. While the model’s footprint grew in both footprint and output throughout decades of production, the impact of the original remained its defining character. The first Bronco’s popularity for restoration stands paramount in the classic 4x4 segment.
