Vehicle Description
The year is 1950, the 1st Formula One WDC: Giuseppe "Nino" Farina
wins by three points, and gasoline is only .18 cents a gallon.
While this cool red Ford F3 rolls off the assembly line. Since than
she has been completely rebuilt, with only 605 miles since the
build was completed. Including: 357 V8, C4 automatic transmission,
white oak bed, with full size whiskey barrel, custom leather
interior, dual X piped exhaust with electric cut offs, and American
Racing wheels. The first-generation Ford F-Series is a series of
pickup trucks and commercial vehicles produced by Ford. Introduced
in late 1947, the F-Series was the first post-war truck design from
Ford. The first generation of the F-Series would remain in
production until 1952. F-Series trucks were assembled at sixteen
different Ford factories. Serial numbers indicate the truck model,
engine, year, assembly plant, and unit number. The most common
model was the F-1 with a 6?�-foot bed followed by the F-2 and F-3
Express models with an 8-foot bed. The first F-Series truck (known
as the Ford Bonus-Built) was introduced in late 1947 as a
replacement for the pre-War designed Ford trucks. It had a flat,
one-piece windshield and integrated headlamps. It had a wider cab.
Options included the "See-Clear" windshield washer (operated by
foot plunger), passenger-side windshield wiper & sun visor, and
passenger-side taillight. All F-series were available with optional
"Marmon-Herrington All Wheel Drive" until 1959. Design of the
F-Series truck changed tremendously from 1950 to 1954. From 1948 to
1950, the grill was a series of horizontal bars and the headlights
were set into the fenders. For 1951 and 1952, the headlights were
connected by a wide aerodynamic cross piece with three similarly
aerodynamic supports. The rear window was wider in these later
trucks and the dashboard was redesigned. This new cab was called
the "Five-Star Cab". To view the car in greater detail, including
