Vehicle Description
This 1953 Ford F-100 was given a comprehensive restoration to
create a sleek black period-correct classic. There is a clean and
correct look everywhere from the undercarriage to the clean and
correct decals in the engine bay. So it's the pickup that really
gives that nostalgic feeling from every angle... but don't forget
to sport the worthwhile upgrades.
This one instantly shows off the outstanding look of a cherished
classic. You could get black from Ford in '53, but even the factory
never made it as glossy as this. The deep luster loves to really
show off those classic Ford fenders and unmistakable vintage pickup
silhouette. When you invest this much in a classic, you also get
the details right. That means Ford family crest step plates,
two-piece wheel covers, bright whitewalls, and plenty of real
lumber in the truck bed. Plus, that side-mounted full size spare is
always an attention-getter. There are even the nice little extra
like the side window overhangs and Ford logo exhaust tip.
The doors open and close with the level of authority that let you
feel this is a detail-oriented restoration. The black interior has
a nice classic look everywhere from the rubber floor mat to the
glossy paint on the dash. The red bench seat gives you a cool
splash of color and it coordinates with the design of the steering
wheel center cap. You're really going to want to pay attention to
that. 1953 was the Ford Motor Company's 50th anniversary, and all
Ford trucks this year got a special cap to commemorate this. So, to
still have it present is another reminder of the detail level of
this pickup. And while this is a terrific classic, it's also meant
to be enjoyed in modern times. So that's why you have upgrades like
seatbelts and a proper heat/defrost system. They even added an
AM/FM/CD stereo with USB and Bluetooth. Oh yes, this 1950s machine
is ready to get the driving playlist off your smartphone!
When you open up the hood, your attention is immediately drawn to
the bold and long green block at the center of this dark engine
bay. The 215 cubic-inch inline six is a classic Mileage Maker, and
you know that because the vintage decal tells you. It really has a
time capsule look, right down to the air cleaner, generator, and
Holley glass bowl carburetor. But a vintage truck like this still
wants to be a strong runner. That's why you have well-integrated
useful upgrades like newer hoses, newer wires, and an aluminum
radiator. It's all about keeping you in contact with the classic
feeling in a restored/trustworthy package. So you still take full
control of the motor with a classic column-shifted three-speed
manual transmission, and the feeling going down the road is pure
nostalgia.
Complete with owner's manual, you're looking at a very well done
original style Ford that also has the right well-integrated
upgrades. A total package like this won't stay available for long.
