Ford F-150 1955

General description : 1955 Ford F100 Custom Pickup The F-series of Pickup trucks were released in 1948 and would go on to make history.  2023 will celebrated their 75th anniversary of being in production and these trucks continue to be the highest selling vehicle overall which is a record they have held since 1981.  Ford obviously found a strong position in the market and today the classics are largely collectable.  The naming system changed from 1 number to 3 with the second generation and remains in place today.  This F100 belongs to the 2nd generation and is the 1/2 ton model.  The truck has been fully restored and turned into a restomod that performs and shows very well.  It has right around 5000 since the build so is still in nice fresh condition.  The original body is in great shape and coated in a very clean light Silver paint that takes on a bit of a Blue hue in certain lights.  The front emblem on the nose has been removed and the grill painted to be a combination of Dark Silver and chrome.  This gives it a really slick looking front end.  The chrome, trim, and emblems that remain in place all have a very nice shine.  The glass is in good condition throughout and has a slight tint.  The bed has all new wood with stainless steel runners which look great.  The bed has also been modified by enclosing the side pieces in the rear and also changing up how the gate is mounted to eliminate the original style chains.  The truck sits on 17 inch American Racing wheels wrapped in Dunlop tires. You see so many restomods with Chevy drive trains nowadays so it is very cool to pop the hood and see a professionally built 302 V8 in place.  The motor is nicely dressed up with a lot of chrome touches like the Ford Racing valve covers , chrome alternator, and chrome air cleaner.  The engine compartment is very clean and painted to match the exterior.  Looking at simple details like how the hoses are routed you can tell a lot of though and care went into how the truck was put together.  It has an aftermarket aluminum radiator with custom cover and a shroud for the fan.  The truck sounds great with ceramic coated headers into Magnaflow mufflers that exit through chrome tips below the rear bumper.  The Automatic transmission with overdrive shifts smoothly and transfers power back to the 10 bolt rear end.  The front end is a Mustang II style set up and has power disc brakes.  It also has had power steering and air conditioning added.    The interior is all nicely upholstered in a Silver color to match the body.  The bench seat has a folding arm rest with cupholders and chrome lap belts.  The door panels are custom designed and fitted with billet aftermarket handles.  The headliner is very nice featuring a courtesy light and an overhead console to houses the JVC AM/FM/CD player.  The dash has been kept very clean with a custom underdash unit to house the Vintage Air adjustable vents.  On the painted dash are the Vintage Air controls and Classic Instrument gauges in a custom bezel.  The painted tilt column utilizes billet levers and has a Boyd Coddington steering wheel. This is a very well put together truck that is in excellent condition.  It is a regular show winner and gets complements wherever it goes. Make this custom truck yours for $99,500.00!

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.

Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
