    I did a vin seach, took me back to 83 so i figure thats probably when it crossed over into Canada. I hope sombody has some info. I dont think there could have been a lot of 57 rancheros with a 55 desoto grill, edsel tailights louvered hood and tailgate and shaved handles. The car now is painted pearl white with purple flames. The int is also purple and white. Now i can see that the purple was dyed and i see pink or ford called it salmon , so the int was pink and white. The dash is pinstriped with the pink the doors are also opened electronically with micro switchs ( what where they thinking) the car is a four speed with a hurst shifter but i see a fenton trim plate around the boot so probably was a three speed. The engine is a y block with a eldebrock tri power intake , calcustom air breathers, offenhauser valve covers and fenton headers. The engine is painted pink with pink pinstripes also in the engine compartment. I hope somebody knows somthing about this car. It was built in California at the San Jose plant , so its traveled from coast to coast Screenshot_20180816-114711_Kijiji.jpeg Screenshot_20180816-114724_Kijiji.jpeg Screenshot_20180816-114553_Kijiji.jpeg
