CL Offering Inspired by the Classic 1957 Chero

True Ford truck aficianados have long recognized that the high water mark in truck styling was the breathtaking 1957 Ford Chero, as pictured below. Special thanks to Bob Jones for originally sharing these rare pictures.




Drawing inspiration from this land mark vehicle, and applying its styling clues to the classic 1948 design, the below CL truck is offered to discriminating enthusiasts. Be assured that I have no connection to this seller. Act fast, won't last long! Stu

1948 FORD TRUCK RAT ROD (RATCHERO)

Huh... I was thinking it was a waste of clean '57 Ranchero fenders, they are even rarer. Mostly a waste of time and money. And a Chev inliner??

I was thinking those fender skirts might be worth more than the "truck", assuming they aren't being repop'd.
