Vehicle Description
One look at this one, and everyone will think that you really do
work at a Texaco service station in the 1950s. That's because this
1951 Ford F-1 has the bright look you want from a rolling
billboard, but it also has the right amount of workman attitude
left in. So that makes for a very cool V8 vintage machine.
You know you love the Julip Green. It has a radiance that would
attract people to an old filling station or just to your driveway.
The whole package is so well coordinated with the Texaco logo, and
in fact, the red steelie wheels with whitewalls are like extra
calling cards to "The Service with the Star." There's a ton on nice
brightwork with the bumpers, full trim, step plates, and two-piece
wheel inserts. But what really has us hooked is the overall
appearance. The bodywork is straight and there's an overall workman
attitude you see in the finish and oak lumber truck bed. It gives
the impression this truck has been in the hands of a careful
serviceman for nearly 70 years.
The same respected real truck attitude continues inside. The
exterior green returns on the door tops and dash, and now it's
joined by a tasteful black. The bench seat has been upgraded for
added comfort, but the thin and grippy steering wheel retains that
terrific classic feel. In fact, it's setup just like as if a
workman was still using it today. That's why the classic dash now
has an AM/FM CD stereo nicely integrated below it. The factory
gauges are supplemented by helpful pieces like a Stewart Warner
water temp readout and Pro Tach tachometer.
And just like a truck that's been going to work for the decades,
this one has been upgraded in the engine bay. The flathead has been
traded for a 283 cubic-inch OHV V8. The bold block paint radiates
nicely from within the dark engine bay. And there's even some extra
flair on the mesh air screen and Holley ribbed valve covers. But
what you'll really love is that it fires up eagerly and makes a
sweet sound out of the very straight dual exhaust. Oh yes, this one
really wants to get to work! It gives you that pure vintage feeling
as this truck connects you with the road, and even the
column-shifted three-speed manual transmission is part of the
experience. Plus, the classic whitewalls are actually hiding a
modern tread so it gives you extra confidence with this
classic.
This is the true classic with a ton of personality. So if you love
real vintage motoring, this Ford is your new best friend. Call
