The Ford Ranchero is a coupe utility that was produced by Ford
between 1957 and 1979. Unlike a standard pickup truck, the Ranchero
was adapted from a two-door station wagon platform that integrated
the cab and cargo bed into the body. A total of 508,355 units were
produced during the model's production run.
The second generation of Ranchero, produced from 1960-1965. During
this time, the Ranchero became much smaller, having been based on
Ford's compact Falcon,
specifically the two-door sedan delivery variant. Ford believed the
market wanted a more practical vehicle, one much smaller, lighter,
and cheaper than a full-sized pickup truck, and the 2nd gen
Ranchero, in fact, sold well.
The Ranchero presented at auction is a fine, restored example. It
is equipped with the optional 260 V8 Engine and 4 speed manual
transmission. The car shows well inside and out.
