Ford Ranchero
The Ford Ranchero was a coupe utility produced between 1957 and 1979 based on
full-size, compact and intermediate automobiles by the Ford Motor Company for the
North American market.

Variations based on the original 1960 US Falcon for home markets in Argentina and
South Africa were produced through the late 1980s.

Though Ford car/truck combinations had been around since 1934 when Ford
Australia's lone designer Lew Bandt penned the world's first coupe utility, thereby
spawning the popularity of the so-called "ute" in that country, the Ranchero was the
first postwar American vehicle of its type from the factory and did well enough to
spawn a competitor from General Motors in 1959, the Chevrolet El Camino.

Unlike a pickup truck, the car-based Ranchero and El Camino were designed with an
integral cab and cargo bed throughout production.

A total of 508,355 units were produced during the model's production run.
