Vehicle Description
Here's the truck that defines "Old School." This 1949 Ford F-1 has
a timeless style, legendary flathead V8 power, and the kind of
gloss that makes you instantly nostalgic. And as you look a little
closer, you can see the right features that make it a better
cruiser.
This truck 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 than they did
back then. After all, the bright red paint has more depth than they
could get in 1949. It's not overly flashy, but it does give the
same optimistic feelings of the immediate post-war period. The
enhanced paint needs the best brightwork to go with it. The iconic
five-bar grille, full trim, and chrome bumpers are all radiant.
You'll see all the best classic details, like the step plates on
the running boards and real wood in the truck bed. Plus, they did a
terrific job with the wheels with the color-matched steel units
surrounded by two-piece trim and whitewalls.
The doors open with the swift action of a quality build. This is
the kind of truck that you're going to want to drive. That's why
there are some well-integrated improvements, like the velour
trimmed seat, tinted windows, and they cleanly installed a quad
pack of auxiliary gauges under the dash to give you a clearer view
of what's going on with the motor. But none of this takes away from
the overall vintage atmosphere. The big and thin steering wheel is
grooved for a classic grip, and you'll love the mechanical feel of
the long column shifter.
Ford's 239 cubic-inch flathead V8 has a clean and correct look. But
don't forget, a truck like this was made to be a driver. That's why
you have upgrades like an aluminum radiator and a 12-volt
electrical system. And the rather straight pipes of the dual
exhaust give you a nice motor tune. So while it's easy to add a
radio to a pickup like this, we bet you'll really just be listening
to the old-school V8 hum. The clean undercarriage tells you this is
a well-kept truck that can smoothly move down the road, and those
classic whitewalls hid a modern tread for better traction.
This Ford does a terrific job of delivering all the feelings of
shiny and faithful nostalgia. So if you're ready to drive the best
memories tomorrow, you need to call us today!
