Originality

The First Gen Ford Bronco was manufactured in 1966. The 1977 Ford Bronco competes with the Jeep Wrangler as both a two-door and a four-door (hardtop) convertible. From 1965 to 1996, the Ford Bronco was manufactured by Ford at its Michigan Truck Plant in Wayne, Michigan, where it also manufactures the sixth-generation version. 18,500 Broncos were built in 1970. The stout Dana 44 became the standard Bronco front axle early in the 1971 production year. Michigan Assembly Plant, formerly known as Michigan Truck Plant, is a Ford Motor Company assembly plant in Wayne, Michigan that manufactured the 1977 Ford Bronco.  An Americanism first recorded in 1865–70; from Mexican Spanish, short for Spanish potro bronco “untamed colt” (in Mexican Spanish: “wild horse, half-tamed horse”); bronco, was apparently a nasalized variant of the Latin adjective broccus “projecting”; see origin at broach.
