Did You Know?
The Ford Del Rio Ranch Wagon was offered for only a relatively short period during the late 1950s and combined the practicality of a station wagon with styling and trim inspired by Ford's passenger-car lineup.
The 1957 model arrived during one of the most dramatic periods of American automotive design, when manufacturers were rapidly introducing lower bodies, larger glass areas, tailfins, chrome trim, and increasingly powerful V8 engines. Ford's completely redesigned 1957 lineup reflected that transformation.
What makes this Revell kit especially interesting is its 2-in-1 format. Building the factory-stock version provides a look at how a Del Rio could have appeared in 1957, while the California-style street-machine option demonstrates how American car-customizing culture later transformed vehicles from the same era.
