O.J. Simpson has left a mixed legacy after his death a few years ago. The biggest thing that Simpson is known for is not his football, but his murder trial of his ex-wife and another person. In fact, his infamous police chase through the streets of LA has been frequently referenced in various pop-culture moments, even making its way to a Seinfeld episode.
And now, Simpson has entered the conversation after Kim Kardashian showed off her latest addition to her list of cars. Kim showed off a restored 1973 first-generation Ford Bronco in a series of pictures, which made Robert Littal instantly think about Simpson. Littal shared a GIF of Simpson giving the side-eye as his reaction to Kardashian showing off her new car.

O.J. Simpson himself made the Ford Bronco a very famous brand, after he rode in the car in the backseat with a gun to his head with a friend driving, as a number of cops tailed him slowly. Simpson, of course, had a 1993 fifth-generation model, which came out way later than the version Kardashian has, but the joke still sticks.
Kim has been known for her extensive array of cars, most of which she gets colored in ‘Ghost Gray.’ However, this particular Ford Bronco stands apart since it seems to come in a forest-green color with white striping.
O.J. Simpson Was Indirectly Responsible For Kardashian Wealth
O.J. Simpson had a lot to do with the entire Kardashian clan, in more ways than one. Simpson was represented in court by Kim Kardashian’s father, Rob, who made plenty of money through the legal proceedings, while also gaining notorious fame.

Rob Kardashian also built several businesses before and after the trial, which also brought him and his family wealth. But it was him representing Simpson in court that got him and his family, including Kim and her sisters, plenty of fame and recognition. Fast forward to the current day, the Kardashians have continued to build on this and eventually become famous for nothing.
Rob Kardashian himself was not too happy with representing Simpson in court, at least at that time. Later on, he admitted feeling guilty to taking Simpson’s side, despite several bits of evidence being against the former football player. The public has largely continued to see Simpson as guilty, even if his jury said otherwise, which led to him walking free.
