Vehicle Description
This first-year 1957 Ford Ranchero has V8 power and a custom color
package that's used as a uniform feature throughout the pickup. It
makes for an exceptionally cool cruiser that you can pick up for an
affordable price.
This one has been customized from every angle. Up front, the custom
paint makes this car/truck look like its doing 200 mph and the wild
purple is finally being revealed as its the tame light blue facade
is forcefully being pulled off by the speed. Along the side,
there's more great custom purple (even on the roof!). And you also
have lake pipes and rear fender skirts. The rear has a coordinating
tonneau cover. And it all ends with a custom Continental kit that
makes this pickup look more like a Thunderbird. But these Rancheros
were already cool before the added investment in this one. 1957 is
a one-year-only style that has unique features like the single
headlight, outward pointing grille, and thick chrome bumper. And
the full-length side trim with dipping "V" pattern is pure '50s
magic.
The exterior blue theme continues through to the custom interior,
and now it's joined by a bright white. The two-tone on the seats
and the doors look great, but we especially love the tuck & roll
pattern behind the bench and on the dash. There are other great
upgrades for style and function, including the banjo-style sports
steering wheel, bold blue knobs, and an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo.
It's a total package that comfortable on the road and looks nice
when parked.
Under the hood is a great-looking powerplant. The 292 cubic-inch
motor was known as the Thunderbird V8 in '57, and so those valve
covers have been earned. It's a powerhouse of a motor, but it
doesn't lose its easy cruising attitude as it sweetly purrs through
its extended dual exhaust system. The three-speed automatic
transmission stays comfortable as it clicks through the gears
without a fuss. Plus, power steering and Fairlane-style suspension
mean this is great cruising classic.
It's hard not to love a cool custom Ranchero. But when this full
custom car-like truck is priced less than a new Taurus or F-150,
well then, you know it's going to leave our showroom quickly. Call
