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 sacrifice to Legba was completed; the Master of the Crossroads had taken the loas’ mysterious routes back to his native Guinea.
Meanwhile, the feast continued. The peasants were forgetting their misery: dance and alcohol numbed them, carrying away their shipwrecked conscience in the unreal and shady regions where the savage madness of the African gods lay waiting.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
