Hello, I just picked up a 1956 Ranger pop-up. It's my next resto project. In the past I've had a 63 Shasta & a 59 Oasis that I've fixed up and sold. This one is much different being it is all fiberglass and a pop-up. Only 200 were made thru the years 54, 55 and 56, so basically no parts available. Thankfully it is complete!

53-54 Ford tail lights stock. You can also put in 50 Pontiac to be custom. I will probably do the 50 Pontiac lights since they are reproduced and look great.

OH man that thing just POPS! I love it. Welcome to our little piece of heaven. I'd love to see photos of the inside. Now you need a 56 Ford to pull it with.

These are the only photos of the inside I have at the moment. I need to pop the top and take more. These were taken on day 1 when we got it home.Oh, and I have a 56 Lincoln to pull it with. I attached a pic of it a few years back when we went camping in our old 57 Corvette trailer ![](http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i303/low-lincoln/56%20Ranger/Pictures%20012.jpg) [/URL] ![](http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i303/low-lincoln/56%20Ranger/Pictures%20004.jpg) [/URL] ![](http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i303/low-lincoln/lincoln/56LincTrailer.jpg) [/URL]

I recognize the pattern on that sideways ice box. That's 54 or older. They must have changed the drain hole and ice tray to turn it sideways like that. Neat idea. Great looking pop up. I want one.. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/3684717/images/bj8tcXxjY63hJ9bk7Ooo.png)

Thanks, I am used to canned hams so this one will have a learning curve when it comes to fiberglass work. They are so rare, so when I found it I bought it. It pretty much fell in my lap, the guy actually came to me to see if I was interested. If you find one buy it! there were only 200 produced and there is not an accurate count of how many still live.

Cool camper.
You should start a new thread and share photos.
