The '69 Cyclone in red over white was an early sellout, after a gestation period of well over a year, maybe two, since first announced. It's interesting that the '58 Ranchero used '57 Ford taillights. Could a '57 be in Sergio's future?

Harv;

The '58 Rancheros (in Canada at least) all had the '57 tail lights.  Was it different in the USA?  Aside from that; I sure wouldn't mind seeing a '57 Ranchero and how about '57 and/or '58 Ford Del Rio wagons!

@jack-dodds All the '58s I found online have the '57 taillight treatment.

@mg-harv I wondered back in the day why Ford stayed with the '57 tail lights on their '58 Ranchero; especially when they had the tail gate for their wagon changed.  Maybe the decision to stay with the Ranchero for a second year came late in the program at Ford.

Talking about American cars in my collection, I'm focused on 1947-1962 period, but I would make an exception with that Cyclone, both Goldvarg versions are lovely but that one is better.

Harv, can you please tell me what the heck that emblem says on the Cyclone front fender? 

Every dang pic of this model that I have seen does not show it clear enough to read it.

The blue version of this model has a CJ (Cobra Jet) 428 call out, which is easily seen.....thanks in advance.
