Shooting Brake

Project

1957 Ford Ranch Wagon

The Shooting Brake is a 1957 Ford Del Rio Ranch Wagon that’s been modified in all areas. Subtle changes embody its Ford lineage, while the chassis, powertrain, suspension and creature comforts reflect state-of-the-art technology. The net result is a very unique high performance machine.

This ride was unvieled in the ARP booth at SEMA 2017 and was named Street Rodder Magazine "Car of the year." for 2018!
