What an idea!. combining a passenger car with a pickup. Ford introduced the Ranchero in 1957, this is a first generation example. The first generation Ranchero's were produced from 1957-1959. Future generations of Ranchero's were produced in different variants through 1979 when production for the model ended, and the Ranchero was replaced with the Ford Ranger.
This Ranchero was long term owned by Mr. D. Nordboe, Council Bluffs, Iowa. Purchased by its most recent owner collector in 2007, this Ranchero was fully restored throughout that time. Upon competition of the restoration, the Ranchero was housed within an extensive collection at the owners Montana ranch.
Used and enjoyed sparingly since the restoration, this Ranchero has accumulated approximately 500 miles since restoration. Used as a centerpiece of the "Ranch" collection, the mileage accumulated was mostly upon ranch grounds and to exercise the Ranchero from time to time and special occasions.
This Ranchero has most recently been treated to a complete servicing throughout to ensure it is ready able to be used and enjoyed immediately.
