This is an '85 Ford Bronco 4×4, the second to last year of the third generation of Ford Bronco. Designed by Don Kopka and John Najjar, the Bronco was based on the F-150 and was featured with a 300 ci (4.9L) Straight-6 inline-6 engine as standard. The car shared much of its external sheet metal with the F-150, with similar parts from the doors forward. From 1982, the Bronco was slightly rebranded, with Ford's blue oval logo placed on the front grill and the Bronco horses removed from the fender emblems. An Eddie Bauer trim package was also included in 1985, featuring a color-keyed two-tone exterior themed on the outdoors. The third generation of Bronco was discontinued in 1986 as a new generation of Bronco was looming. 54,562 were produced in 1985.
Now, about the casting. Introduced in the HW Boulevard series in 2013, the casting's designer is unknown but I suspect it is Brendon Vetuskey. This casting received four known releases, the last being in 2020 as part of the Wild Terrain Car Culture series, as shown here.
