1966 Ford Bronco Roadster

The design team and engineers developed the Bronco to serve as a family sedan, sports roadster, snowplow or farm and civil defense vehicle. It was designed to go nearly anywhere and do nearly anything. For the past 45 years, despite a lapse in production, the Bronco has been the king of the recreation vehicle market, and the first generation Broncos are favorites in the collector car market.
