Al cowlings bronco where is it
More on this:. Car reviews:. Ford Bronco is making a comeback but there is one Bronco Ford would like you to completely forget it ever existed: the infamous white Bronco that made crime- television history back in , when it was featured in the first-ever slow-speed chase in the world. It was a relatively quiet Friday evening when news broke that star American football player O.
Here's is what we could find about that white Ford Bronco O. Simpson was apprehended from and the details are titillating as ever Initially, he was one of the most compliant witnesses ever but things changed when the police wanted him to turn himself in. Simpson was a no show. Declared a fugitive, he was later spotted at on the evening of June 17, , in a white Ford Bronco on the expressway, driven by his best friend and former teammate, Al Cowlings.
Calling it a car chase is a bit of a stretch because this was no high-speed getaway. When Cowlings yelled that Simpson was holding a gun to his own head, the officer backed off and continued to follow at the same slow speed, followed by a cavalcade of 20 police cars, later joined in by helicopters as well. But before the verdict, the car chase in itself had created a furor and was watched by 95 million viewers in the US.
According to Simpson, this was not him trying to run or evade the law in the Bronco. When he did not show up on the designated date for questioning, the very next day his lawyer, Robert Kardashian of the Kardashians fame read out a message that was perceived by many as a suicide note.
And yet, when Simpson finally exited that White Ford Bronco, he had a gun as well as a fake mustache and goatee, along with applying adhesive. Many assume that the notorious white Ford Bronco involved in the chase was O. The truth is, the car involved in the chase was Al Cowlings' Bronco, the same model. Of course, along with a Bronco, O.
Simpson had a fleet of cars in his garage. Even if that involved being on a televised car chase that has permanently changed the way people look at a white Ford Bronco, period. Cowlings wanted to get rid of the car soon after the much-publicized event. But what happened to Al Cowlings? Most may have also forgotten that he was O.
As luck would have it, Al Cowlings would reunite with O. Simpson in the pros as he was taken with the fifth overall pick by the Bills in the draft. The two would play three seasons together before Cowlings was traded to the Houston Oilers ahead of the season.
Simpson was set to surrender himself to police as he was obviously a person of interest given the highly-volatile nature of his marriage to Nicole.
However, Simpson failed to surrender himself at the designated time and was officially named a fugitive.
