Home > Ranger (car)


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, and for a version of the Chrysler Valiant in Australia in the mid-1970s.

This is not to be confused with the Ford Ranger, which originated in the United States for a pick-up truck and is now also used in South Africa for an unrelated model.
