\t \t\t\t \t\t\t\tIt is no mystery that\xa0Ford trucks\xa0dominate the new-vehicle marketplace – and have done consecutively so for over 40 years. During calendar year 2023, Ford sold a mind-boggling 750,789 F-Series pickups. That put Ford in the lead by a long shot; Chevrolet’s Silverado came in second place at 555,148 units sold. America’s love affair with Ford trucks goes back deep into automotive history, and one of Ford’s most unique vehicles was a car-based pickup called the Ranchero which came out in the late 1950s. The\xa0Pick of the Day\xa0is a first-year\xa01957 Ford Ranchero\xa0listed for sale on\xa0ClassicCars.com\xa0by a private seller in Salome, Arizona. | \t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t |
