1957 Ford RANCHERO AUTOMATIC

1957 Ford Ranchero — Automatic

This 1957 Ford Ranchero is finished in a bright yellow exterior with a black interior and presents in excellent overall condition. It has accumulated under 79,000 miles, averaging less than 2,000 miles per year, reflecting careful use and preservation.

Exterior and body
- Classic 1957 Ranchero coupe-utility body: an integrated passenger cabin and cargo bed built on a unitary, all-steel platform. The profile retains the clean, late-1950s Ford styling with prominent front grille, chrome trim and smooth rear bed sides.
- Stamped-steel cargo bed with factory tailgate and factory-style bed construction designed for everyday utility. Tailgate hardware and bed structure follow the original factory design.
- Brightwork and exterior trim consistent with factory equipment of the era, including chrome bumpers and grille elements that emphasize the model’s period appearance.

Interior and comfort
- Black interior finished in the period-appropriate material; bench seating accommodates three across the front row and is finished in black upholstery consistent with the original style.
- Simple, driver-focused instrument panel with factory-style gauge cluster providing speedometer and relevant engine/vehicle monitoring instruments arranged for clear, straightforward operation.
- Column-mounted automatic shifter (original-style placement for automatic-equipped examples) for ergonomic use.
- Factory-installed heater and defroster for basic climate control, along with standard convenience items of the era such as a glove compartment, sun visors and ashtray.
- Durable rubber or carpeted floor coverings and trim designed for the demands of a coupe-utility vehicle.

Mechanical and safety features
- Factory-configured for rear-wheel drive and fitted with an automatic transmission as specified. The drivetrain layout and components reflect the factory engineering of the late 1950s.
- Period suspension design combining independent front geometry with a rear leaf-spring arrangement to provide the intended balance of ride and load-carrying capability.
- Drum brakes at all four corners, the factory-standard braking technology for the model year.
- Electrical and accessory systems fitted according to 1957 Ford factory standards, supporting lighting, instrumentation and accessory functions.

Factory-available equipment (typical for 1957 Ranchero)
- Bench front seat with vinyl trim options.
- Automatic transmission (an available factory option on Ranchero models of the year).
- Heater and defroster (factory-installed climate control).
- AM radio or provisions for factory radios as offered on production models.
- Chrome exterior trim, full bumpers and model-specific grille treatment.
- Stamped-steel bed floor and factory tailgate hardware.
- Optional items for the year included power steering, power brakes and other convenience packages; equipment varies by individual vehicle build and verification can be provided for this specific example.

Condition and usage
- Excellent overall condition with preservation appropriate to the mileage and ownership history. The odometer shows fewer than 79,000 miles, which equates to under 2,000 miles per year since new, indicating light, careful use.
- Cosmetic and mechanical condition are consistent with a well-maintained, largely original or sympathetically restored example of the model.

If you would like further detail about original factory options fitted to this particular Ranchero (engine displacement, whether power steering or power brakes were installed at the factory, original radio, wheel covers, or documentation of factory build sheets), those specifics can be confirmed and provided on request.
