Market commentary
'57 Rancheros are a world apart from other vehicles, even El Caminos, and bring top dollar prices for exquisitely restored examples. The reported high bid here is a reasonable compromise between the inherent appeal of the car-truck and the puny engine under the hood. The seller has a chance of getting more than this bid, but only if the stars and planets align.
