Originally Published 1 year ago — by The Associated Press
The Ford Bronco, initially designed for outdoor enthusiasts, became an iconic symbol in American culture after O.J. Simpson's infamous slow-speed chase in 1994. The vehicle, associated with the former football star's attempt to evade arrest for the murder of his ex-wife and her friend, is now displayed in a Tennessee crime museum. The chase, watched by millions, contributed to the Bronco's cultural significance, although the model was already facing decline due to competition from family-friendly SUVs. The museum's marketing director notes the enduring mystery and fascination surrounding the event, as it remains a shared memory for many Americans.
