1969 Ford Ranchero GT 351ci V-8 Cleveland Power Automatic Bucket
Seats Torque-Thrust Styled Wheels Headers The History: This truly
unique 1969 Ford Ranchero is a utility coupe that was produced
between 1957 and 1979. Unlike a pickup truck, the Ranchero was
adapted from a two-door station wagon that integrated the cab and
cargo bed into the body. In 1968, the Fairlane line was
supplemented by the new Torino, and the Ranchero followed suit,
becoming the largest model since the full-sized 1959. Overall, the
new Ranchero was not only bigger, but also more angular than before
with its more horizontal grille and horizontal headlamps; Ford and
other automakers were making a switch back to horizontal quad
headlamps. The interior was all new, as well, sharing the
Torino/Fairlane's distinctive four-pod instrument cluster. Though
the four round pods gave the illusion of an engine-turned dash,
viewed from left to right, they instead featured warning lights for
coolant temperature (both cold and hot) and the left turn signal
indicator in the left pod with the speedometer in the second pod
directly in front of the driver. Warning lights for the charging
system and oil pressure, as well as the right turn signal
indicator, were located third from the left. In upscale models,
this pod was supplanted by a tachometer. An optional clock filled
the fourth pod; a decorative "clock delete" panel otherwise filled
the space. A seat belt warning light was a new feature, too,
lighting briefly in the far left pod whenever the engine was
started. The model line also featured wraparound front side marker
lamps which doubled as parking lights and rear side reflectors,
newly mandated by US law for the 1968 model year. Our Vehicle : A
