Oh, I just now noticed it looks like he knocked over a decorative planter and broke it.

Someone bought one! I haven't seen one of those in the wild yet (although I did see a couple at Barrett Jackson last year on display).

Interesting to see this! Was looking at a 5 page 72 Bronco ad for some specs earlier and had to browse it again. It has the original PTO and electric winch. (Dealer installed) There’s a snowplow pic in it as well but I think it has a different mount. Hard to tell as the plow is mounted but those uprights don’t look the same.

Sunday Night, W Hotel Downtown Scottsdale around 5:30 PM. Barrett Jackson is coming up so I'm starting to see a lot of these and Muscle cars driving around. Love this time of year!

I guess I can appreciate the ingenuity that goes into these, but the proportions are just so off
I saw one of the "Vintage Modern" Broncos driving on the 101 yesterday near Scottdale. Dark green with a brown soft top. I hadn't seen one in person before and it immediately threw me off. I only saw it from the back and the proportions were just off. The soft top especially. It tapered up so the width at the top was much narrower than the width at the bottom. I'm not sure if they tried to adapt an early Bronco soft top to the wider "Vintage" body or if this top was custom.

Like you, I wasn't a huge fan, but can appreciate how it's probably a much nicer daily driver than our classics.

Get this....From the 2020 cover of National Hanger Catalog. My buddy's a Haberdasher and is cleaning out his office. Anyone know the VP of sales?
