Modifying Stainless Trim • The 1957 Ranchero body was derived from a basic station wagon. Specific roof sections on the quarter-panels were cut off, and other trim pieces were stamped to cap voids and conceal areas of the original body make. The modified stainless trim for this Ranchero's bed was designed to cover the remnants of window tracks for the side windows and back glass. Most of these modifications were crude, to say the least, and the final fitment was of little concern or value.

Parting Shot • Ford's best-known mid-1960s DOHC V-8 was never meant for Main Street. It was built for the pinnacle of racing; the Ford 427 SOHC Cammer was a racing-bred monster developed in the early 1960s as Ford's purpose-built answer to the era's escalating performance wars.
