Vehicle Description
Here's the truck that defines "Old School." This 1955 Ford F-100
has a timeless style, legendary V8 power, and the kind of gloss
that makes you instantly nostalgic. And because this has been
expertly restored, you truly get to drive your memories.
You know you want this truck. It has those original good looks that
can instantly transport you to another time. But just like your
best memories, this one seems to have a little better presentation
then they did back then. After all, the red paint has more depth
than they could get in the '50s; the chrome bumpers have a brighter
mirror-like shine; and even the real wood in the truck bed never
looked this good. This one has an almost two-tone presentation with
the white on the grille and tailgate joining the iconic whitewall
tires. Heck, even the steelie wheels have a cool white pinstripe.
That's the kind of detail work you can expect from this pickup.
Which is why you have everything from the yellow driving lights to
the rare thunderbolt front badge leading the way.
Inside there was a nice investment in keeping everything fresh and
period-correct. Originally the cab was built for long-lasting
function, and today it retains the same tough appeal as a good war
story. The durable bench seat and rubber floor mat meant cleanup
after a hard day's work was no problem. The dash retains the same
red and white appeal as the exterior, and there's plenty of space
thanks to an uncluttered feeling. Ford fans will pick up on the
rare AM radio option that's still on display. When you grab the
grippy three-spoke steering wheel, the well-defined groves can
almost transport you back to a simpler time. In fact, the only
piece that's not period-correct are the auxiliary gauges. Of
course, these are a welcomed addition for those who like to drive
their classics.
The second-generation F-series debuted a new more powerful Y-block
V8. This one proudly displays the Power King upgrade on the valve
covers. Plus, with the polished fender walls, red firewall, bright
intake, and bold blue block, this has a stellar total presentation.
We all love the look of the classic oil bath air cleaner. Plus,
you'll get an extra kick out of telling people that the date code
on the block is correct to 1955. This was also converted over to a
12-volt system. That not only means better parts availability, but
also you'll instantly appreciate the new alternator and headlights
any time you feel like getting to the car show before dawn. The
single exhaust gives this one a classic rhythmic beat that feels
like being in charge of a mini locomotive as the tempo increases
with the acceleration. The three-speed manual transmission shifts
crisply and the brakes have been properly maintained. In the end,
the full experience of being behind the wheel feels like rolling
history.
This is the '50s Ford pickup that delivers all the best of the
era... and just like your best memories, it has deleted the bad
parts. So don't miss out on the best vintage truck experience. Call
