Vehicle Description
This 1949 Ford F-1 is a great flathead V8 icon that has been given
some extra attitude in the right areas without ever losing its
old-school charm.
Black always looks great on a vintage truck, because it instantly
conveys its workman roots. But on this one it also funnels your
attention to all the bright work. This includes the factory pieces
like the tall grille, artful hood trim, and correct badging. Plus,
this one has been upgraded on the headlight hoods, front bumper,
and half-moon hubcaps with full polished surrounds. The result is
instant charisma as both the classic and hot rod crowds find
something to enjoy on this one.
The vintage and upgraded worlds nicely integrate inside, too. The
custom red and black bench seat is a great upgrade in comfort and
style. Plus, the dolphin gauges match this color scheme while also
keeping you better informed than the factory setup. But nothing
beats the old-school truck feeling when you grab the large
three-spoke steering wheel with your left hand, and rest your right
one on the tall gear stick. Even the classic heater is still
working to give you that perfect nostalgic feeling every time you
take this out on an early morning.
There's nothing quite like the sound and power delivery of a Ford
flathead V8. This 239 cubic-inch motor gives some of the best power
from the immediate post-WWII era. Just like the rest of the truck,
this has been given a little upgrade in flair with the bright air
topper and bold red block. Plus, you have some very worthwhile
upgrades like a 12-volt electrical system, alternator, and power
steering. These enhance the driving experience without taking away
the industrial symphony of simplicity that makes these F-1s
irresistible. After all, the hum of the dual exhaust combined with
the mechanical feel of the three-speed manual transmission is a
hypnotic mix that will have you searching for the long way
home.
Complete with owner's manual, this is the iconic classic truck with
a hint of hot rod flair. It's a terrific mix of everything you
want, and it's ready to roll. Call now!
