Ranch Wagon

Chevy had success with their very popular Nomad, a two door (three if you count the back) station wagon, and for the 1957 model year, Ford introduced their version - what they called the Del Rio Ranch Wagon.
It's what my mother was driving when we moved to Liverpool, and I have a lot of fond memories of that car.
Ours was buckskin tan and white, and the interior featured fake leather upholstery decorated with brands.  It sounds cheesy, but it actually looked pretty cool. 
I hadn't thought about it in years until I saw yesterday that the Hot Rod folks had picked a 57 Del Rio Ranch Wagon as 2018's Street Rod of the Year.  Street Rod
