1961 Ford Falcon Ranchero

In 1960 the Ranchero was switched from a longer and larger stature to a smaller model based off the Falcon, specifically the two-door sedan delivery variant. The reason for the change in size was to compete and fit in with the market shift which was brought forth by vehicles such as the Volkswagen Beetle. Most of the American manufacturers were catching on to this trend of smaller, more efficient vehicles and the market became populated with them such as the Chevrolet Corvair, Plymouth Valiant and others. Ford believed that the market was not only looking for efficiency but also practicality which spurred the idea of a light, more affordable pickup truck opposed to the full-sized models which were in turn more expensive to maintain.

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this thoughtfully restored example of the 1961 Ford Falcon Ranchero for your consideration! This wonderful model is finished in Wimbledon White over a tan interior that is very neat and tidy. Under the hood is detailed and shows very well. The 6 cylinder fires to life with a turn of a key. It runs and handles very well. The Falcon Ranchero has had a professional restoration and shows very well. The car rides on chrome wheels that accent the rest of the car very well.
