1957 Skyliner Cartoon

 Found this caricature and thought I should share. Just like one my daddy used to own. The Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz Ford TV commercial brought back childhood memories. Still love Lucy and that Skyliner!

Welcome. Great drawing, makes me think it was done by a girl, or is that known? I have two daughters and DADDY on the plate is their touch. Thanks HRD

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. Love the 1957 styling, and the sportiness of the first year Ranchero. That short wheelbase really helped IMO.

I think that site said Marc Cranswick, so I am assuming the artist is a guy. Or a girl under an alias, lol.

Luci and Ricky promoting a Skyliner hard to imgine anything much better. Thank you for sharing and welcome.

Don't know if I'm the only one to notice this concerning the 1957 Fords? There was a lot of attention given to the flame surfacing done by BMW's Chris Bangle in the 2000s. However, I believe the first mass produced body profile sheetmetal contouring was done on the 1957 Fords.
