For Pope John Paul II's visit in early October 1979, Ford created a bespoke 1980 Bronco XLT that opened in the rear to facilitate access inside the vehicle for His Holiness. This 2021 Bronco First Edition doesn't have stairs in the back like its ancestor, but it still pays tribute to the second-generation-based special vehicle in other ways. At the same time, it represents a nod to the original Bronco from 1966.
Not available on any current Bronco trim level, the Wimbledon White finish matches that of the Bronco from 56 years ago and comes nicely complemented by retro-flavored steel wheels. At the front, the upper section of the Ford Performance modular metal bumper along with the grille have both been finished in Iconic Silver.
