My Dad was orphaned and raised with the surname Ranger - A family name. After emigrating to South Africa, he immediately took to the car, which many locals did not.
It was was built in the GM factory in Port Elizabeth, South Africa - between 1968 and 1973. Powered by Chevrolet, and based on the Opel Rekord.
People either loved or hated them. Personally, I loved the Ranger, and spent many happy miles in the passenger seat of a Red 153S Fastback with a black vinyl roof.
GM invested heavily in the old South Africa, and had a second plant in Uitenhage. In 1970, GM sold 33000 vehicles locally, which was 15% of the total SA vehicle market share (in cars and trucks)
