Vehicle Description
This 1955 Ford F-1 was built to standout. From the unique metallic
paint, to the custom A/C interior, to the throaty rumble of the
enhanced V8, it's all part of a total package designed to impress
you from every angle.
You have to love the overall execution of this custom pickup. The
Midnight Bronze paint is different than the bold reds and blacks
that are often seen on these models, but it still has the same kind
of standout shine. That's thanks to a modern professional
application of a clearcoat paint over a nice hint of metallic. And
this is already on top of one of the best vintage pickup designs
around. That curvy bodywork has a classic old pickup look that also
manages to be sporty at the same time thanks to the forward leaning
stance, steel running boards, and rounded rear fenders. Brightwork
is always a must on a '50s machine, and so you get great pieces
like the mirror-like bumpers, intricate trim, and the iconic Cragar
SS wheels. And this one has all the right details to impress, like
the glossy lumber of the real wood truck bed, Ford emblem
taillights, and subtle red, white & blue pinstriping in the
grille.
The custom feeling continues the moment you open the door. The
brown and white bucket seats are vastly more comfortable than
anything that came out of the 1950s. Plus, a center console and cup
holders are always nice additions. And take a look at the detail
work on the matching door panels and headliner. Yes, that's ostrich
texture! This pickup had a precious metal's worth invested in the
interior, so we understand exactly why the dash is painted gold.
You get a nice wood and chrome steering wheel that gives you a
great view of the full Omega custom gauge setup. Everything is so
cleanly installed, you might miss some of the upgrades like the
AM/FM/CD stereo, power windows, and the modern R134a air
conditioning.
You're going to love firing up this one in a crowd, just so
everyone can hear that you have something special under the hood.
It's Ford's famous 351 cubic-inch Windsor V8, and it has a
fantastic presentation. After all, the polished elements like the
Ford Racing valve covers, pulleys in the serpentine belts, air
topper, and so much more look like they are radiating power from
that dark engine bay... and your first impression is quite correct!
That's because the V8 inhales deeply through a Holley four-barrel
carburetor. And it exhales with thunderous authority through
headers that feed the glasspack dual exhaust - with cutouts - that
exit right behind the driver's door (that way you get to enjoy all
of it.) Beyond just sounding great, you'll love to know there are
dependable components such as the Holley electric fuel pump and an
aluminum radiator with dual electric fans (so your truck can stay
cool even if you're in traffic with the A/C running.) And the great
driving feature don't end there. This has an upgraded Mustang
II-style independent front suspension, power steering, three-speed
automatic transmission, and an upgrade to four-wheel disc
brakes.
A beautifully built, well sorted pickup, with details that will
make everyone stop and admire it. Plus, it has all the right
features to drive it every day. A total package like this won't
stay around long. Call today!!!
