Default 1959 Ranchero

I recently purchased this model with a 352 V8 and I am beginning my work on it. It has what I think is an aftermarket carburetor and I would like to restore it to an original. I am buying a shop and parts manual for this car but until then, I thought perhaps someone on this site may be able to tell me what kind of carburetor is original for this car?

Thanks!

I believe some used Holly carbs and some had Motorcraft carbs.

Thanks. I've since learned that it is likely a Holley 4V.
