Ranger (South African 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 and the grille and headlights of the Vauxhall Victor. The brand was discontinued after only a few years.
The Ranger name was also used for a version of the Opel Rekord in Belgium and Switzerland during the early 1970s.

Famous quotes containing the word african:
“The white man regards the universe as a gigantic machine hurtling through time and space to its final destruction: individuals in it are but tiny organisms with private lives that lead to private deaths: personal power, success and fame are the absolute measures of values, the things to live for. This outlook on life divides the universe into a host of individual little entities which cannot help being in constant conflict thereby hastening the approach of the hour of their final destruction.”
—Policy statement, 1944, of the Youth League of the African National Congress. pt. 2, ch. 4, Fatima Meer, Higher than Hope (1988)
