Vehicle Description
This 1930 Ford pickup is the perfect mix of a hot rod, and a cool
cruiser. After all, beneath the steel bodywork is a more modern
suspension, V8 heart, and a nice rumble from the dual exhaust.
The great steel body has that great upright original silhouette
that will make people immediately recognize this for a '30s-style
Henry Ford cruiser. And the metal Standard Oil sign on each door
just reinforces this is a very cool old-style pickup. But this pure
1930s feeling lasts only for a moment. The full matte black paint
(even over the bumpers), red grille, and racing disc hubcaps are
all big indicators that this has some hot rod aggression. The
result is a very cool mix of old and new worlds that represents all
the best of the classic car culture. These pure vintage and hot rod
feelings that the pickup produces is best seen in the truck bed.
The wood side slats and floor are great period-correct pieces, but
the bright aluminum gas tank is defiantly reserved for something
more custom.
Inside the updates continue. The new two-tone brown leather is a
great upgrade for the interior, but special attention was paid to
keep some of the original appearance. For example, the seat keeps
the low-back single bench setup of a '30s pickup. But now it has
individual seating areas and integrated headrests to give it
long-haul comfort. The custom chrome steering wheel on the bright
tilt column is pure hot rod cool. And the full array of Dolphin
gauges look like they could have been installed by Ford all those
years ago, except the factory never gave you so many readouts,
including a tach.
Under the hood is double the number of cylinders, and a whole lot
more displacement than what came in a factory Model A. Not only
does the Chevy orange look great radiating power from the 305
cubic-inch block, but also this more modern motor has been built
for comfort and performance. The V8 moves this lightweight pickup
with real authority, and the cherry bomb packs on the dual exhaust
let everyone know you've got some power under foot. But this is far
from a brute. The electric water pump, aluminum radiator, and
electric fan are the kind of reliable modern components that keep
this classic running easy. Plus, the front suspension has been
upgraded to a Mustang II-style independent unit with front disc
brakes. Add in rack & pinion steering, new shocks & springs, and a
TH350 three-speed automatic transmission, and the very vintage Ford
is a great anytime decision.
This truck creates a stir wherever it goes, and it has been built
to go everywhere with ease. You even get plenty of '30s automotive
memorabilia to keep up the ruse that this stealthy hot rod is right
from the Standard Oil service station. That's an irresistible
package that can be yours if you're quick enough. Call today!!
