Vehicle Description
This 1959 Ford F-100 Custom Cab has a very vintage style, and you
can even see there were plenty of investments to make sure cruising
down the road feels like turning back the clock.
A true classic starts with the best colors. The red and white
two-tone was the kind of style available from Ford, but the luster
it has today tells you there was a nice investment later in life.
You can tell this whole pickup was given a thorough older
restoration. So you have a sharp-looking style that also has the
right maturity to keep this pickup from accusations of being a
trailer queen. It's the kind of true classic that's meant to go out
on jaunty trips. The clean panels give a nice crease to divide the
two colors, and the chrome bumpers and grille put a shining face
forward. So it gives you a great vintage style. Vintage also means
being handy with a useful long bed and provisions for cab running
lights. In fact, the most modern thing you may find on the exterior
is the liner paint in the bed and that has even been painted over
to fully coordinate with the two-tone.
The two-tone gets even more intricate for the interior. The white
door panels have red inserts, the red seat has white piping, and
the dash is an equal split of the two hues. It makes this all look
rather stylish, especially with its extra-clean impression. The
moment you slip behind the large and thin steering wheel, you
really feel in command of a true classic truck. The wraparound
windshield, simple gauges, and tall shifter basically turn back the
clock to the 1950s.
The engine bay keeps the time capsule feeling going with a clean
style and vintage details, like the oil bath air cleaner. At the
center is a bold blue 223 cubic-inch inline six. It's a smooth and
eager running motor, but it's not made for speed. Still, there's
something fun about the four-speed manual transmission with a low
first gear that loves to maximize the torque right from the start.
Add in a newer exhaust, simple suspension components, and more
modern touring tires, and this is ready for a nice brisk pace on a
country byway.
This is a very clean and very fun two-tone pickup. There are plenty
of details you can improve if you so desire - everything from
restoring the lights to adding big V8 power. But that's more about
taking a classic and making it an updated cruiser. And right now
there's already desirability in this truck's authenticity. That's
why you love it, and that's why you need to call today!
