1962 Ford Falcon Ranchero

That's an old one; well taken.

Yes it is - thanks, Jaap!

Excellent color key! Lovely rust patterns;-)

Gudrun, thanks very much!

wow! beautiful color key! and you know always the name of all those oldies!

Grazie! I don't automatically know, I usually have to search to find the right year and model.

'63 Ranchero, isn't it? I always liked the Falcons from this era. You don't see many Rancheros.

Yes it is - I labeled it '62 because there's almost no difference in appearance (that I can see). I remember how weird this concept seemed at the time - 1/2 car 1/2 truck. Thanks, Clint!

Oh ... hehe. I missed the label. :-)

You're right, there's no real difference between a '62 and '63 except, if I remember right, a particular side decoration that fell of this a long time ago. It could be either.

I always wondered how the Chevy's El Camino managed to last so long while the Ranchero died out.

I didn't know that. Funny, my car-CRAZY grandson and I had a conversation today about El Caminos vs. Rancheros. I should say, he talked about them and I listened. He seems to be a centrist in the Chevy vs. Ford camps.

I don't know nothing about old cars.
But I like this cute old rusty vehicle - and: the interesting discussion here.
