From the Publisher...
The Ranchero lasted a formidable 22 years in production, and in that period it captured the affections of thousands of buyers, some of them needing a straightforward utility but—particularly towards the end—many also seeking a sporty truck. The idea of the coupe-utility dated back to the pre-war era, and the Ranchero was introduced in 1957 to give Ford another weapon in the sales battle against Chevrolet. That year, it was a close-run thing: Ford out-produced Chevy bu Chevy sold a tiny number of extra cars. Nevertheless, this time Chevy had been out-pointed, and it would be two years before the GM division came up with its El Camino to counter the Ford truck.
