Just 1,966 units of each will be made, paying homage to the year the original Bronco debuted. “Bronco captivated America in the mid-’60s with its rugged style and uncompromising off-road agility, a legacy that is still prevalent today,” said Mark Grueber, Ford’s Bronco marketing manager. “With these new Heritage and Heritage Limited editions, we’re paying respect to Bronco’s roots with nods to some of the signature design cues from the first-generation vehicle, while continuing to build the Bronco Brand with more special editions that our customers want....

Now, though, we small-timers are being given a chance to get in on the action. Fidelity Brokerage Services and Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette are selling IPOs to customers, and Charles Schwab is considering such a move....

Love Is Blind, though, allows for potential romance and emotional growth before the couple exchange vows....
