Revell 1957 Ford Del Rio Ranch Wagon 2’N1 — 1:25 Scale Model Kit

Some classic cars are remembered for speed. Others are remembered for style. The 1957 Ford Del Rio Ranch Wagon managed to combine both, offering the practicality of a station wagon with the dramatic design language of one of Ford’s most memorable decades.

Revell brings this distinctive two-door wagon back as a highly detailed 1:25 scale 2’N1 plastic model kit, allowing builders to choose between a factory-style restoration and a customized California-style street machine. With newly tooled custom parts and multiple engine, suspension, wheel, and tire options, this kit offers plenty of room for personalization. 

The 1957 Ford Del Rio Ranch Wagon

The 1957 Ford lineup introduced fresh styling that made the cars longer, lower, and more dramatic than their predecessors. Among the station wagon offerings, the two-door Del Rio Ranch Wagon stood out with its distinctive proportions and sporty character. 

Revell recreates this unusual piece of Ford history in 1:25 scale, with 197 parts and a finished length of approximately 6.5 inches (16.5 cm). Rated Level 5 and recommended for ages 13 and up, this kit is designed for experienced model builders looking for a detailed project with extensive customization possibilities. 

Detailed 312-Cubic-Inch V8

At the heart of the Del Rio is a highly detailed 312-cubic-inch V8, and this is one of the highlights of the kit.

The engine can be assembled in three different configurations, allowing builders to choose between:

• Single carburetor

• Dual carburetors

• The rare Thunderbird Special supercharger setup

This flexibility makes the engine one of the most customizable areas of the model and provides plenty of opportunities for detailed painting and finishing. 

Build It Two Ways

The 2’N1 concept gives this kit its biggest attraction: builders can create the Del Rio in two distinct styles.

Build it as a factory-stock Ranch Wagon for a classic, period-correct appearance, or transform it into a California-style street machine with the included custom components.

This means the same kit can produce two very different-looking finished models depending on the builder's choices. 

Newly Tooled Custom Parts

For the street machine configuration, Revell includes a selection of newly tooled custom components designed to give the wagon a more contemporary custom-car appearance.

These include:

• Large-diameter custom wheels

• Custom tube grille

• Smooth bumpers

• Period-style chrome engine dress-up parts

Together, these components allow builders to create a customized Del Rio inspired by the California street-machine style of the era. 

Stock or Lowered Suspension

The customization continues underneath the body.

Builders can choose between stock or lowered suspension, giving the finished wagon either a more original factory stance or a lower, more aggressive street-machine appearance.

The chassis itself is intricately detailed and features a separately molded frame, adding another layer of realism to the finished model.

Wheels and Tires

The kit provides multiple wheel and tire configurations to match the chosen build style.

For a factory-inspired appearance, builders can use the stock wheels and tires with separate dog-dish hubcaps. For the custom version, the kit provides contemporary-style custom wheels with low-profile tires.

The combination of wheel choice and suspension height makes it possible to significantly change the character of the completed Ranch Wagon.

Detailed Interior and Chassis

The Del Rio's interior and chassis receive the same attention to detail as the exterior.

The detailed chassis, separately molded frame, and carefully reproduced components give builders plenty of opportunities to add realistic colors and finishes. The wagon's spacious body also provides a substantial canvas for interior detailing and customization.

Classic 1950s Styling

The exterior captures the dramatic design language of Ford's 1957 lineup, with its long body, sweeping side details, prominent front end, chrome trim, and distinctive two-door wagon proportions.

The kit is molded in white, transparent red, and clear plastic, with chrome-plated parts and soft black tires, providing a strong foundation for either a factory-style or custom build. 

Level 5 Model Kit

With 197 parts, the Revell 1957 Ford Del Rio Ranch Wagon is rated Level 5, making it a detailed project intended for experienced modelers.

The extensive selection of optional components means builders can spend considerable time not only assembling the model, but also deciding how they want their final vehicle to look. 

A Unique Classic Ford for Your Collection

The 1957 Ford Del Rio Ranch Wagon is an unusual and memorable addition to any classic-car collection. Its combination of two-door wagon practicality, distinctive 1950s styling, and customizable street-machine potential makes it very different from the typical muscle car or hot rod.

With its three engine configurations, stock or lowered suspension, multiple wheel choices, newly tooled custom parts, detailed chassis, and factory-correct decals, the Revell 2’N1 kit gives builders the freedom to create a model that reflects their own style.

Whether you prefer the clean appearance of a restored factory Del Rio or the aggressive attitude of a customized California street machine, this kit offers both possibilities in one box.
