    1. This is a 1964 Ranchero based on the 1964 Ford Falcon. It came with a 6 cylinder motor, or a 260 ci V-8. They are collectable.

  2. The Ford Ranchero is a unique vehicle that blends the practicality of a pickup truck with the styling and comfort of a car. First introduced in 1957, it was based on a station wagon platform, giving it a smoother ride compared to traditional trucks. The Ranchero’s design featured a car-like front end and a truck bed in the back, making it ideal for those who needed utility without sacrificing style. Over the years, it went through several design changes, aligning with Ford's full-size, compact, and mid-size cars. The Ranchero is often compared to the Chevrolet El Camino, which became its main competitor.

    By the way, I just shared a new post on my blog. I’d be thrilled if you checked it out.
