It was a Ford Bronco that led the infamous 1994 police chase and it's an association that Ford certainly doesn't want. IOLMotoring

Dearborn, Michigan - The Ford Bronco had a taste of infamy back in 1994 when a white specimen was driven by former football superstar OJ Simpson during the police chase that followed his wife’s murder.

However, Ford quickly rescheduled the reveal event to July 13 after it became aware of the oversight, which it said was completely coincidental. It’s an easy but unlucky mistake to make, but one that the company immediately set out to rectify, while also posting an explanation on social media: The launch of the all-new Bronco follows a 24-year hiatus for the vehicle, which was produced between 1965 and 1996, in five generations. The one driven by OJ Simpson was a fifth-generation model, launched in 1992.
