Ford Ranchero 1957
General description :
For sale in our St. Louis Showroom is a very cool 1957 Ford Ranch Wagon. This is essentially the Ford version of a Chevrolet Nomad, both are very unique in styling and design. The biggest difference in the 2 vehicles today is price. You can buy a Ford Ranch Wagon for half of what a Nomad would sell for, and sometimes less than that! These are a bargain when compared to a Nomad, and they are practically the same car. Powering this 57’ Ranch Wagon is a 428 Big Block Ford V8 engine that was donated from a 1972 Lincoln and was bored 0.030 over. Hooker Headers flow to the Borla exhaust creating an awesome sound to this “family” wagon. A C6 automatic transmission transfers the power to the stock rear end with ease. This Ranch Wagon was originally a green car, it now features a red and white color combination that pops in any light and stands proud in a crowd. The vinyl interior is also finished in red and white with custom upholstered seats and interior panels. The odometer reads 5,187, but the actual mileage is unknown. The original odometer was pulled and replaced with approximately 47,000 miles on it, so total miles on the body is somewhere in the neighborhood of 52,000. Options for this 1957 Ford Ranch Wagon include: Air Conditioning, AM/FM Radio with Cassette Player, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Power Windows, Tilt Wheel, Vinyl Interior, Radial Tires, and Rally Wheels. These Ranch Wagons are perfect for a person looking for a classic car that has enough cargo room for everything, including the kitchen sink and also looks cool going down the road.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
