For 1957, Ford came out with the '57 Ranchero, a good-looking car-pickup or pickup-car. In either case, it was a very nice vehicle and could be very hard working, too. Chevrolet's fine El Camino would be their counterpart of this one from FoMoCo. Here is an older two-tone, yellow-black diecast version by Yat Ming of the '57 Ranchero. They also did a panel delivery of this attractive Ford, but you don't seem to see a lot around. In any case, they are a really nice older diecast model of this one.

I always thought this was a pretty decent model. The black/yellow tu-tone  dresses it up nicely.   I have a few ....and a "truck load"  too! 😏 😏

It is an old one, but done very well. You certainly don't seem to see the panel delivery one very often but it seems to be a pretty cool older diecast, also.

@mikedetorrice Right, I've passed several times on the panel version...I may cave one day.  I did see recently, however, a Ranchero in a livery/wheels I had never seen before.  I could've bought it for $10 but passed. I'm kind of  regretting that now. 😣 😣

@marty-johnson Clever....   If you'll never require the use of that bed, this is gorgeous, otherwise... not so much. 🙄 🙄 🙄

The pale blue and white color combo really suits the late 50s Fords.  I would like to see the '57 done in a 1:43 Del Rio wagon and sedan delivery by Goldvarg some day.
