Vehicle Description
A strong running, rock-solid drivetrain teams with outstanding curb
appeal and a nicely appointed interior to make this 1956 Ford F-100
a truly rare find. It wears an ultra-sharp exterior color to inject
just the right amount of vitality into its old school sensibility
and offers a very comfortable driving environment that's pretty
hard to come by in this niche.
A thorough restoration has equipped this classic Ford with a
vibrant yet tasteful appearance that's sure to bring a smile to
onlookers as it cruises down the boulevard. Its mint green shade is
an absolute winner - just a quick glance at it will elevate your
mood. The assembly of chrome it wears - including an unusually
clean front grille, the bumpers both fore and aft and the side
mirrors and door hardware - is in top notch condition and really
stands out against such a singular backdrop. Just the right amount
of lowering has resulted in a stance that shows off this venerable
pickup's form to perfection - it's got a slight incline and the
vintage-look wheels are nicely showcased by their surrounding
fenders. Take a glance from the side and you can see the pronounced
curve at the corners of the wraparound windshield that was added
the year this '56 debuted. Aftermarket fog lights perched just
below the grille and razor-sharp lettering on the tailgate are
among the stellar finishing touches on display here.
There are a lot of nice details to admire inside these doors. This
'56 sports a well-crafted interior, thoroughly revitalized yet
still appropriately vintage in appearance, starting with a sharp
two-tone bench seat flanked by matching door panels. The smooth
steel surface of the dash area has been painted to match the
exterior, there's an array of Stewart Warner gauges seamlessly
fitted into the instrument panel and all the control knobs and
switches are securely in place and very clean. The added Vintage
Air climate control system is running in top form to cool the cabin
with ease - even during the warmer weather that's upon us. In back,
a well-fitted Craftech cover protects the bed area - it's equipped
with struts to make lifting it a breeze and as you do so, you'll
see a nicely prepped floor just underneath, with fresh wooden
planks interspersed with stainless steel reinforcements.
As you'd likely expect, given the attention to detail shown
elsewhere on this truck, there's a well organized engine
compartment waiting beneath the hood, featuring a 350 cubic inch V8
that's decked out with orange finned valve covers to match the
block and the oversized air cleaner it wears on top. It's been
armed with an Edelbrock 4 -barrel Performer carb and matching
intake manifold for some added muscle, and a sizable aluminum
radiator paired with an electric cooling fan is in place farther
forward to keep operating temperatures under control during more
demanding driving conditions. The engine fires right up and pulls
with plenty of strength as it pairs with a 3-speed automatic
transmission to make for a very road-ready drivetrain. Power
steering equips this classic with an ease of navigation that's a
rare commodity with trucks from this era, while power brakes that
feature discs up front provide prompt stops. A set of 15" steel
wheels painted to match the exterior, with chrome baby moon caps at
their centers and outfitted with whitewall tires provides just the
right finishing touch.
This 1956 Ford F-100 has all those proverbial boxes checked to make
it a first rate acquisition for the classic truck enthusiast
looking not only for curb appeal, but a reassuringly solid driving
experience as well. Call today!
