was reading a nostalgic story over on Hemmings and they were talking about Grandparents cars and the effect it had on us growing up and what we remembered and why. Got me thinking....what made the Bronco the "one"?
I don't really remember anyone around us having one when I was a kid. I actually had one of the plastic Gay Bronco toys when I was real young, so I was aware of them but none of my neighbors had one, or really ever seeing one "downtown"....flash forward to high school and two of my classmates each had one. Gus had a '72 and Chuck had a '77. We would go out to the sand pits on the weekends and watch them both jump, race, wheel the crap out of those poor trucks (sure, they broke them) but they just kept coming back for more....Hence, I was in love. I was amazed at how tough yet cool those badass little rigs were! Been a lot of years ago when you look at the calendar, but thinking of those days take me right back to early teenage years. Sure, I have had many over the years and really can't get enough of them...I like to go and look at others and parts when ever I can, it's kind of a "high" for me....
So I ask you, what made you want the coolest off road vehicle ever made?
