1957 Ford Ranchero in the Agave modern neighborhood in East Austin, Texas.

P.S. After Zac Roberts at Full Custom Fabricators saw this post, he sent me this message: “I built that 1957 Ranchero that you spotted in Agave for my friend Dennis. He drives it every day, has 351 windsor, automatic, and vintage air ac.”.

1957 was the first year for the Ranchero.  The side trim for this mild custom I found in Liberty Hill, Texas (just outside of Austin) is from a 1958 Ranchero.  It has a slightly greater load capacity than the F-100 half ton pickup.  Love the spider web image painted on the hood.
