Introducing the new Ford Bronco!

[blubuckaroo]

Soon after we pulled our Bronco into our camp spot, last month, a young guy came running up and gave me a September 1965 issue of Popular Science. He isn't a Bronco owner but saw that we had one. What are the odds of running into someone with this magazine?

That's pretty cool! Any chance you scanned the rest of the article?

I'm no graphic artist but I think you can read it.

did he give you the magazine?

Got it right here. Cost 35 cents in '65.
The guy had a bunch of old Popular Machanics and Popular Science magazines. Sort of nerd for old inventions I guess. I remember an old article on how to make a hovercraft from a tractor inner tube and a rotary mower.;D

Interesting to know that the Bronco is as old as the first fiber glass handled hammer! ;D

Thanks for sharing.

Well it is sort of short lived. The guy actually handed it to my son. My son said I have to share it with Tito. If I can find it.

I scanned it for you. Isn't that good enough?;D
Maybe we can work out some sort of a trade.

Compared to a CJ-5, both of those are true.

Cool! I hadn't seen those old issues before. Quite a few Bronco ads in there that I'll peruse as I have more time. But I ran across this ad that I couldn't resist posting. If only I had one of these to run the CB.com server on!
