My mom recently sent me a box of old pictures my dad had saved. He passed away 9 years ago but this is his old bronco he had when my brother and I were little. I don't know what year it was but I remember riding in it and loving it. I'd guess this was in the late late 80's when the picture was taken as I was born in '84.

Good memories of a time long gone. I just thought y'all might enjoy seeing this bronco.

The older that I get the more nostalgic I become. I really enjoy family holiday gatherings and telling old stories and pictures are worth a thousand words. Thanks for sharing.

100% man. I'm 36 now with 3 little kids of my own and I'm working hard to create good memories for them like I have of times with my father.

I am sorry for you and your kids that you lost your father so young. My dad passed four years ago and my daughter had a special connection to him. They texted daily. I will not be the only one thinking of him when my daughter gets married in August.

He retired from Ford and would have loved the new Bronco.

Terrific pic! If it weren’t for the family bonds of the bronco, I most likely wouldn’t be still this hyped for it...
The ties that bind us...

It's hard losing a parent, my dad and I talked on the phone at least 2-3 times a week. I think about him every day but especially this time of year. He'd have been 61 today. My mom says talking to me is like talking to my dad though so I guess I've done a good job of mirroring my role model, hahaha.

That old AZ lottery gold miner sun shield brings back memories. I grew up in Tucson where that picture was taken. Redington pass, where I used to 4 wheel, is behind the truck where the Catalina and Rincon mountains meet. The parking lot looks familiar, maybe one of the businesses off 22nd St.

This pic was taken on Charouleau Gap trail (NW Tucson) in about 2003.

I am with you both, 35 here with a 2 year old, and 1 on the way. My grandpa passed away last week and I am grateful for this last Year with him telling me all his old stories. For the funeral we went through old pictures to display at the wake… memories are priceless.

I found a picture of me and my old man standing in front of his new 91’ white Ford Bronco. Lots of great memories cruising with pops and listening to Boston, ELO, Styx, and the Beatles. Life seemed much simpler back then!

Hoping my kiddos cherish memories with their old man!

I don't know exactly where in Tucson but that is where we lived when this picture was taken. It's awesome what people recognize from a 30+ year old photo.

Nostalgia is 1000000% my motivation behind buying one.
Old man had an 87 and it blew my mind growing up, never getting stuck in mud, and once pulling out our stuck non 4x4 Diesel F350 once, tires smoking but we got it out.
