To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Bronco, Ford unveiled the Bronco Roadster Concept, a modern homage to the original 1966 U13. Like its predecessor, the concept has no roof, no doors, and minimal interior features, focusing on open-air driving freedom. Painted in Wimbledon White with a burgundy anniversary accent, it mirrors the look of the classic model.
Ford replaced the swing-out tailgate with a vintage-style drop-down unit featuring «FORD» lettering, added simple steel bumpers, and fitted Fifteen52 wheels styled after the Heritage trim. Inside, rear seats were removed for a cargo bed, while front seats lost their headrests and gained silver vinyl upholstery. The stripped-down cabin includes white-painted panels and bare flooring for a retro touch.
Underneath, the Roadster Concept is believed to use the standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder paired with a manual transmission. However, Ford has made it clear the vehicle won’t reach production, largely due to safety regulations. Still, it highlights the Bronco’s heritage and could inspire future accessories or special trims.
