Ford Bronco History: Passion of collectors
Broncos were originally built from the year 1966-1977 and were particularly used and maintained by collectors – they were the main users back in the 60s and 70s. Although the name has been kept the same, in the last three years, the prices have been increased up to 76%. Some of that increase is probably due to Ford’s impending reintroduction of the brand, which hasbrought new attention to the old models. But, even before that became public knowledge, classic Broncos were leading a surge in collectible Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs).
Ford, a Michigan based automobile company, didn’t right back jump in to produce Ford Broncos; in fact, the company carefully researched and tried to identify the shortcomings of the current off-road vehicles, back in the 1960s so as to be in a better position to capture the market.
