Ford Ranchero
The Ford Ranchero is a coupe utility that was produced by Ford between 1957 and 1979. Unlike a pickup truck, the Ranchero was adapted from a two-door station wagon platform that integrated the cab and cargo bed into the body. A total of 508,355 units were produced during the model's production run.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ford Ranchero History and Production Figures )〕 It was adapted from full-size, compact and intermediate automobiles sold by Ford for the North American market.
During the 1970s the Ranchero name was used in the South African market on a rebadged Australian Ford Falcon utility. These vehicles were sent to South Africa in CKD form, and assembled at the Port Elizabeth plant.〔(1972 Ranchero Bakkie - Australian XA Falcon Ute ) Retrieved on 8 May 2010〕 In Argentina a utility version of the locally produced Ford Falcon was also called Ranchero.
The Ford Ranchero sold well enough to spawn a competitor from General Motors in 1959, the Chevrolet El Camino.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.oldride.com/library/chevrolet_el_camino.html )〕
==History==
The first Ford Model T and Model A pickup trucks were created from sedans by placing a truck box behind the body of a car truncated behind the driver's seat. In 1934 Ford Australia's designer Lew Bandt modified a coupe with a smoothly integrated loadbed that could be used like a car to drive to church or to deliver pigs to market. This created the coupe utility which remains a popular body style as the "ute" in Australia. In North America, pickup trucks evolved into a heavier duty form with cabs and beds that were quite distinct from passenger automobiles. The Ranchero was the first postwar American vehicle of its type adapted from a popular sedan from the factory. It combined the sleek looks of a sedan with the utility of a light duty pickup truck. In 1955, GM introduced a fully loaded top model of the Chevrolet and GMC light duty pickup truck, called the Chevrolet Cameo Carrier and the GMC Suburban Carrier.
