Bronco Dune Buster at the Detroit Auto Show, 1966

01

Artifact Overview

Ford introduced the Bronco for 1966. It competed against similar compact four-wheel-drive models like the Jeep CJ-5 and the International Harvester Scout. Ford had "King of Kustomizers" George Barris build the Bronco Dune Buster for the auto show circuit. Though Barris's Bronco featured luxury appointments well beyond the spartan production version, it helped promote Ford's new off-roader.
