The Original Hybrid 1957 Ford Ranchero Courier Sedan Delivery More Than a Car! More Than a Truck! In 1957 the Ford Ranchero began its 20-year reign as the first true “hybrid-1/2 car and 1/2 pickup truck”. Farm families had complained for years that they were forced to own two vehicles- a pickup for work and a car for the family. Ford designers and engineers converted the 2-door Ford Ranch Wagon into a vehicle that answered this problem. Outside, they cut off the rear of the station wagon and slipped a bed liner onto the floor pan. For the interior, they used the same material and dashboard that the station wagon had. The result was the 1957 Ford Ranchero, with the smooth ride of a car and the utility of a pickup truck.
