Ranger (car)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ranger was a car sold by General Motors in South Africa in the early 1970s. Known as 'South Africa's Own Car', with a springbok badge, it was based on the European Opel Rekord, with a Chevrolet engine. The brand was discontinued after only a few years.

The Ranger name was also used for a version of the Opel Rekord in Switzerland during the early 1970s.

[edit] Ford and Chrysler

The Ranger name is now used by Ford for a pickup truck, the Ford Ranger, in the United States, and is also used in South Africa for an unrelated model. It was also used by Chrysler in Australia for a version of the Chrysler Valiant in the mid-1970s.
