GTP Cool Wall: 1966-1977 Ford Bronco

[Wiegert]

Sounds painful.

The joy of posting in a rush via mobile is something I rarely savour.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Meh, not a fan of that truck.

 

[AlvaroF]

I actually find it cool. Probably the only truck I own. Plus it's good looking

 

[Wolfe]

Old, relatively compact 4WD trucks are Cool.

 

[Joel]

I'd kinda like to have one but they just aren't a cool vehicle at all.

 

[SVX]

Modified they're really cool, I especially love @Azure Flare's example. But we're voting on the original one, aren't we? And if that's the case, the one in the OP looks so dorky it was nearly a seriously uncool. Here in NZ old American trucks are quite uncommon, so I bumped it up to an uncool on that factor.

 

[mustang fanatic]

Sub-zero. Broncos rock!

 

[Mikeybc]

I actually like the looks, as I do most late 60's early 70's trucks...gets a cool.

 

[niky]

The Bronco is Ford's Rocky Marciano. The last great, white hope. Their one chance at becoming as relevant to off-road enthusiasts as Jeep, Land Rover or even Toyota (outside the US).

Now it's gone, remembered only for the World's Wildest Mildest Police Chase.

Meh... still a mild cool. O.J.'s Bronco wasn't this one.

 

[Doodle]

It's cute! I give it a cool.

 

[XS]

I've always liked them. When done up nice they garner respect at meets. You can have fun more than just on the road. So I'll give it a solid cool. There aren't many classic vehicles you can have just plain stupid fun with on and off road.

 

[homeforsummer]

Cool, for general classic car "Don't see many of those, looks interesting going down the street" reasons. But only if the roof is removed.

 

[Grayfox]

Seriously Uncool.

Its a ford.

 

[JMoney]

It was cool to begin with; made sub-zero by OJ Simpson and Cosmo Kramer.

 

[Sage Ages]

Seriously Uncool.

OJ had a white 90s model and I'm not sure how that makes it sub-zero.

 

[XS]

Seriously Uncool.

Its a ford.

That just bumped it up to subzero.

 

[Bc4]

I'd sooner choose a Series III or Land Cruiser. Not even the Landy proportions are as weird as those of a stock Bronco.

+1

meh for me

 

[Slash]

OJs Bronco had absolutely nothing in common with this but the name and possibly the engine.

 

[JMoney]

True, but the fact that he infamously drove a Bronco makes all Broncos cooler. It's like Steve McQueen and Porsche 911's. Even if it's a different type of 911, it's still McQueen's car.

 

[Tyger]

Cool from me. Back in the day, in context, it would be kinda meh, just a workhorse with little to make it stand out. But nowadays it looks good, pretty even. Would be a blast to have a stock one of these, no need for mods. Has the same appeal as the Lada Niva for me.

Except Steve McQueen is famous because he's cool. OJ Simpson is pretty much the opposite.

 

[Azure Flare]

OJ was acquitted, then instead of just laying low, he wrote a book. In that book, he mentioned that he DID kill someone, then was arrested for it.

 

[Tornado]

Then he stole his own shirts and got 35 consecutive life sentences.

 

[Crash]

Meh is all I can muster.

Don't forget to vote in the poll

 

[edawg456]

Besides the fact that I think of the Oj Simpson chase every time hear the name Bronco. They are sub zero.

 

[Roger the Horse]

Probably the only truck I own.

You lost count?

Besides that. every time I hear "Ford Bronco" I think of first how my second cousin owned one, hated it with a passion, and replaced it with a Mustang; secondly of a matchbox model I stole from my first cousin when I was 2 years old; and thirdly, perhaps inexplicably, of the hideous blot on the south west London landscape that is Tolworth Tower.

Neither of these things improve my view of this car.

 

[Ameer67]

Meh, not a fan of that truck.

Same as Beef here.
