The Little Details Make Ford’s Celebratory Model Special
The Ford Bronco was first introduced as a 1966 model in August 1965, and to celebrate, Ford has launched the 60th Anniversary Package with either certain accents or the entire body painted in Wimbledon White, one of the original Bronco’s launch colors. It’s a stylish look worth inspecting more closely, so without any further ado, let’s do that.
1
Based on the Bronco Outer Banks model with the Sasquatch package, the 60th Anniversary model has an imposing stance.

Whether opting for a Ruby Red or Wimbledon White body, the spare wheel cover is painted the latter hue, with red paint providing contrast. Note the matte black Ford badge on the left side of the tailgate.

The redesign of the grille mesh does a great job of giving the latest Bronco an old-school feel, and the red BRONCO wordmark both adds to this effect and enhances the SUV’s visual width. Warm alloy paint almost makes the grille look like chrome, and it’s a stunning effect.

A new design of 17-inch alloy wheel painted in Gravity Gray adds to the rugged feel of the vehicle, while a Vermillion Red center cap with a bucking Bronco logo adds more of that nostalgic feel to the SUV.

Special badges on the front fenders help the special edition stand out more than it otherwise would with just decals.

But of course, there are decals too, and in Vermillion Red over Wimbledon White, they’re inspired by those on the 60th Anniversary Mustang revealed last year.

Customers who prefer an even more retro look can opt for a Ruby Red body with the roof remaining Wimbledon White.

Tying in with the exterior decals are embossed Ebony and Alpine leather seats with white stitching.

There’s also a center console plaque…

…a dash wordmark, and the new A-pillar-mounted grab handles, all accented in red. Red also appears on the air vent control switches.

Ford says it has hidden a few Easter eggs around the vehicle, so there are probably more logos in places we can’t see.

Ford says the 60th Anniversary Package will be available to order in October with either the standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost or the optional 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6, but pricing has not yet been announced.
