Ford F-100 239 Flathead V8 1952
General description :
This 1952 Ford F-1 is pure vintage charm. That means it has the full classic truck and feel, right down to its flathead V8 power. So while you'll see nice investments throughout, nothing gets in the way of that nostalgic vibe that makes this awesome.
The red paint makes the exact right first impression. After all, it's same color as a country barn. Of course, no shed ever had a gloss like this. It's the kind of that shows off the Ford's curves, but nothing is too nice to make this look like an overly done truck. So your first impression almost feels like it turned back the clock to 1952, and this one was still in its first year on the farm. That freshness is even felt in the details with well-aligned panels, good rubber gaskets, and clean glass. There's a nice brightwork presentation with chrome bumpers, complete badging, nice hood trim, and two-piece wheel covers. But really, the showiest part of this pickup might just be the fresh glossy lumber in the truck bed.
The interior keeps the simple and classic feeling going. You get a tall airy cab, long bench seat, and a large steering wheel that lets you feel the same kind of grip as generations that have come before you. There are upgraded details, like crisp/clean gauges and carpeting, but nothing feels out of place in this classic. In fact, you'll really love showing off some of the best vintage features of the day, like the working heater and AM radio.
Under the hood is proper flathead V8 power. The 239 cubic-inch motor is an era-correct block that has authentic details, like the big air grabber on top. But if you dig a little deeper, you can also see this was given the right investments to be a fine driver for modern times, too. The V8 looks like it has been properly rebuilt and includes everything from Edelbrock heads to a 12-volt full system upgrade. It makes for a strong-running motor. And the three-speed manual transmission has a crisp shifting action on the column to give you proper control. The undercarriage photos not only show you how well-done this truck is over every inch, but also the fresh look means the right components to give you confidence on the road.
This is an awesomely vintage package that was built for you to truly enjoy. Don't let this real classic truck slip away, call today!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
