Coupe de Trunk

 

The Ford Ranchero is a coupe utility that was produced between 1957 and 1979. Ranchero was adapted from a two-door station wagon platform that integrated the cab and cargo bed into the body. A total of 508,355 units were produced during the model's production run. It was variously derived from full-sized, compact, and intermediate automobiles sold by Ford for the North American market. The original Ranchero sold so well General Motors introduced the Chevrolet El Camino two years later as competition.

Note: The "station" wagon refers specifically to train stations, where people and their luggage were shuttled to and from train depots. The very first vehicles recognized as being station wagons were largely custom wooden-bodied variants of Model Ts which were known as "depot hacks." "Hack" referred to "hackney", a horse-drawn taxi. There are more than a half-dozen different names used worldwide instead of "station wagon."
