For Sale is a 1957 Ford Ranchero. I've owned this Ranchero for about 4 years now. I bought locally in Chico, Ca. from a friend who had it for many years in covered storage. When purchased, it took only clean gas, and a battery to get moving. It ran great, shifted great and was unbelievably reliable car for one sitting so long. The brakes worked, all gauges, turn signals, lights etc. The tires all held air but are very old.

After I purchased the car, I then bought a nearly new rebuilt 312 V-8 and a A/T . I also purchased a power steering set up and front suspension for the V-8. My plan was to make this Ranchero into a power steering V-8 car.

The body is rock solid, it has a fairly new fuel tank and fuel lines. There are small areas that are in need of minor repair but for a 57year old Ranchero, it is very sweet.

The Ranchero comes with everything I have purchased for the car which includes:

312 V-8, A/T, fuel tank, dash, trim, glass. tail gate and much more. The original 223 straight 6 is still in the car but disconnected. The Ranchero will roll and brake. I can help load it on a trailer.

This truck when done is one of the more desirable early Fords out there. I have not nor does it appear that I will have time to complete this project and am hoping someone else sees the potential I do.

Please email with any questions. I can store the truck for a reasonable amount of time and will assist with transport all I can.

She comes with a clean and clear Calif. title

Please Note: This Ranchero is a 1959 Not 1957. Sorry for the confusion

Ford dominates most-stolen SUV list

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

The Ford Escape leads the NICB's list with 1,421 examples stolen.
If you drive a recent Ford SUV or crossover, you may want to keep a watchful eye out for thieves - especially if you live in the New York metro area or in Detroit. A new study from the National Insurance Crime Bureau has named three Ford models as the most likely vehicles in their genre to be stolen, with CUVs in general being especially attractive to bandits.

Martin Smith retires, Joel Piaskowski in as Ford Europe design chief

Thu, 29 May 2014

The mind behind the look of much of the modern Ford global range is retiring. Martin Smith, Head of Ford Design in Europe, will give up his position on July 1 and will leave the company altogether at the end of the year. He will be replaced by current Strategic Concepts Group leader Joel Piaskowski (pictured above).
Smith has led Ford of Europe design for the past 10 years, and he was partially responsible for the brand's Kinetic Design language with a large grille and swept-back headlights found on the Focus, Fiesta and C-Max, as well as several other vehicles abroad. After stepping down on July 1 until his retirement at the end of 2014, Smith will work on a project to decide the future direction of the company's look with Moray Callum, its vice president of design.
Piaskowski already has some impressive credentials in terms of automotive design as well. He joined Ford in 2010 as director of exterior design and led the teams responsible for the 2015 Ford Mustang and next-generation F-150. He was also previously design director at Ford Asia Pacific. Before working at the Blue Oval, Piaskowski held positions at Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai and General Motors. Scroll down to read the complete announcement of this changing of the guard.
