The Ford Bronco played a significant role in one of the most memorable moments in television history when it was used to transport O.J. Simpson and his friend Al Cowlings during a thrilling 90-minute police chase in 1994.
The notorious vehicle is no longer speeding down the fast lane; instead, it is now on exhibition at the Alcatraz East Crime Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Visitors have the opportunity to closely examine the car that captivated the entire country.
The journey of the L.A.’s 405 freeway to its final resting place in Tennessee has been quite a tumultuous one. This path was extensively documented in a 2017 episode of the popular TV show “Pawn Stars.”
After the infamous freeway chase, the Ford Bronco, famously associated with O.J. Simpson, was purchased by his former sports agent from its owner, Cowlings.

After enduring lengthy negotiations and unsuccessful attempts, Alcatraz East finally managed to acquire the Bronco in 2016 to add to its collection.
The museum spokesperson emphasized that their primary motivation for acquiring the item was to prevent its potential use in glorifying the crime it is associated with.
Among the lineup of infamous getaway cars, you’ll find the car that shares its space with other notorious vehicles. Take for instance, John Dillinger’s 1933 Essex Terraplane, Bonnie and Clyde’s “death car” from the renowned 1967 film, and even Ted Bundy’s Volkswagen Beetle.
According to a spokesperson from Alcatraz East, there have been no alterations made to the exhibit following the recent passing of Simpson at the age of 76. They mentioned that it is still too early to determine whether Simpson’s death will result in an increase in visitors wanting to see the Bronco.
The museum, however, had already organized a distinct temporary exhibit for this summer. It will cover the complete story of Simpson’s double murder trial and the subsequent chase, commemorating the 30th anniversary of the crime. The main purpose behind this exhibit is to honor the victims.
Simpson became a prime suspect in the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman, making him a wanted man by the LAPD.
