Green Broncos

 Happy St. Paddy's Day!




Green is a color often associated with the classic Bronco, every single year of production included at least one green color. During three years Ford offered 5 different green choices (73, 75 & 77), there were (depending on your definition of green) 24 different colors of green offered during the 11-year production run. 

Boxwood Green holds the distinction of being offered the most with 4 years while Grabber Green, Yucatan Gold, Seafoam Green, Samoa Lime, Ivy Glow and Village Green were only offered one year each.

Usually at least one green color was carried over to the next year, except for 1975, that year all the green hues were new.
