Vehicle Description
1960 Ford Courier
Why This Vehicle is Special
Ford Courier is a model nameplate used by Ford since the early
1950s and first used in North America for a passenger style wagon
or a sedan delivery body style of the full-size Ford line sharing
its body with the two-door Ford station wagon.
Marketed exclusively as a two-door vehicle, the Courier was
initially designed with a side-hinged rear cargo access door
(unique to the model line). For 1957 and 1958, the Courier adopted
the two-piece "clamshell" rear door of the Ford Parklane and Ford
Del Rio station wagons.
We have an ultra-rare 2-door 1960 Ford Courier here at Skyway
Classics that has V8 power, a custom red interior, with mag
wheels.
Mechanical
You could get anything from a mild straight-six cylinder engine to
a 352 cubic inch V-8 as all were available in the 1960 Courier
wagon line. Now ours has a small block Ford V8 engine that has been
modified and has an aluminum intake, performance carb, air
conditioning, Edelbrock chrome valve covers, chrome open element
air cleaner, H.D cast iron exhaust manifolds, dual exhaust, power
brakes and steering, aluminum radiator, and modified
electronics.
It sits in a very clean, painted, detailed, and correct engine
compartment and the engine is connected to an automatic
transmission while riding on chrome 5-spoke mag wheels and black
sidewall performance tires.
Interior
The new red interior consists of a full-size split front bench
seat, great red factory dash with its bright chrome and stainless
trimmed factory gauge clusters and controls, auxiliary performance
gauges, aftermarket tachometer, newer stereo radio, air
conditioning, red seatbelts, red carpet, and black/red floor
mats.
It has a red and polished three-spoke steering wheel on the chrome
tilt column, red padded headliner and door panels, and the fully
carpeted and fitted rear cargo area. The rear compartment has
roughly 97 cubic feet of luggage area with the luggage platform
that was nearly 101/2 feet long with the tailgate down.
Exterior
1960 was a pivotal year as this Ford station wagon was fully
redesigned and restyled. Ours has had the restoration as we said
earlier and is now covered in satin black finish on the stock body
with the addition of the FX style hood.
All the chrome is shiny as well as great trim, chrome bumpers,
glass, and body seams and panel fit.
Conclusion
These big wagons were long deemed the "least cool" cars on the road
back then because they were what most families used to tote the
kids around in, but now the full-sized American station wagons are
turning into today's hot collectibles.
Any enthusiasts looking to collect the fondly remembered
automobiles from their youth are turning to stylish, useful
classics like this ultra-rare 2-door 1960 Ford Courier we have here
at Skyway Classics.
