1987 Ford Ranger XLT.

If your son rolled a truck during the test drive, what would you do with it? You'd make an anti-asphyxiation mask, install two rows of plush Dodge Caravan seats in the bed and make an assortment of front and rear racks. You'd also reseal the front window with $200 per roll IMAX film splicing tape.

Revisited: 1968 Mercury 100 Ranger Pickup.

Portland's lone Mercury pickup, as posted by Ben three years ago, almost to the day. I always wondered if I was going to get the chance to see this. Then one morning last week it passed me going the other direction on my commute, very near my house. I slapped my knee and said "It lives!" That night on the drive home, there it was, parked at our neighborhood Asian grocery store, engulfed in a glorious sunset.
