Ford Sedan-Delivery 292 V8 1954

Allmän beskrivning : Wagons have always been useful to car guys, and having one that can do double duty as your cruise night car as well as a grocery-getter is a lot of fun. This 1954 Ford Ranch Wagon delivers a vintage feel with a few upgrades to make it stand out, all without reducing its ability to carry some cargo.
Bright red works well on a wagon, and Ford's 2-door Ranch Wagon has a sporting look that we really like. Someone spent a lot of time and effort here and it shows, with shaved door handles and trim, nice gaps, and a minimum of fussiness that makes for a very clean car. You can still spot that Ford DNA everywhere you look, and the 1954 Fords were thoroughly modern in every way, so there's plenty of '50s flash still in place. Paint and bodywork were nicely done, although this was never intended to be a trophy car and has been driven and used as intended for the past few years. Nevertheless, the finish has a nice shine and you can tell they spent plenty of time getting the gaps just right because it looks great. The chrome and stainless trim that remains on the car is in good condition, although the rear bumper is showing some age. On the other hand, if you're using this wagon as a hauler, it probably won't matter and it does nothing to diminish the car's awesome look.
The interior has had an equally substantial makeover, starting with a pair of bucket seats up front, both flanking a custom console and a 4-speed manual gearbox. All the sets are upholstered in red cloth and black vinyl, with pleated inserts that resemble the factory upholstery, and it's all-day comfortable. Factory pieces like the steering wheel, instruments, and hardware make it feel right, but it's obviously got some upgrades like the auxiliary gauges under the dash and the aforementioned 4-speed. An AM/FM/CD stereo has been built into the top of the center console, but that's one of only a few modern tech pieces in the entire car. It still acts and feels like a vintage 1954 Ford. There's good space in the back seat and the cargo bay is massive, finished with some varnished plywood that is a practical choice for a car designed to move stuff.
For vintage performance, you can't beat a Ford Y-block V8, with this one being a 292 cubic inch "Thunderbird Special" variant. Rebuilt a few years ago, it runs extremely well and doesn't deviate much from the original specifications. There's and oil bath air cleaner up top, a 2-barrel carburetor for reasonable efficiency, and those block-hugging cast iron exhaust manifolds that control noise and heat pretty well. A big radiator up front keeps it cool and jaunty yellow paint makes it stand out in the engine bay. Turn the key and it starts easily and there's plenty of torque available at just about any speed, making it fun to drive. The T-10 4-speed manual transmission is a later addition that simply makes it more fun to drive, and with a Dana 44 rear diff, it's a useful highway cruiser. A true dual exhaust system with glasspack-style mufflers gives it a vintage V8 soundtrack, and chrome smoothies with baby moons and staggered 215/70/14 front and 255/70/15 rear blackwall radials add a traditional look.
Not radical, just fun, this Ford Ranch Wagon delivers all the things you like about the past with a few thoughtful upgrades to make it easier to live with today. A hobby car that does everything well. Call today!

om Ford
Ford, som grundades 1902, har utan tvekan förändrat historien om bilvärlden mer än någon annan biltillverkare genom att införa de första folkbilen Modell T 1908. De hade producerat mer än 15 miljoner bilar i slutet av produktionen 1927, genom vilket T hade blivit föråldrade.

Ford lanserade den första lågpris V8-motor driven bil 1932. 1932 V8 var en omedelbar hit med överlägsen hantering och prestanda för många betydligt mer expansiva bilar av dagen. Inte undra på 32 V8 Ford har blivit en sådan favorit bland heta rodders runt om i världen med 32 Deuce Coupe som sin ikon.

Under kriget Ford helt stänga civil bilproduktionen att ägna alla sina resurser till de allierade krigsansträngningarna (1942-1945) De används för att bygga B-24 bombplan, flygmotorer, jeepar, M-4 stridsvagnar, militära lastbilar och Bren-gun bärare och mer än 30.000 super laddade Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 motorer till Mosquito och Lancaster bombplan samt P-51 Mustang fighters. Efter kriget Ford bilar i USA blev större och flashier tillsammans med sina konkurrenter. I 60: s Ford var tillbaka i förgrunden igen när man inför deras kommersiella hit Mustang 1964. Mustang var så populär tävlingen var tvungen att följa Fords exempel och ponycar fenomenet tog över USA. Under åren ponnyer växte några muskler tills oljekrisen döda äntligen dödat dem.

På sextiotalet rusade Ford i internationell motorsport scenen med en raseri. Efter misslyckade Ferrari övertagande, då Enzo Ferrari hade klippt affären av med Henry Ford II gör det senare absolut koka av vrede, vände Ford till Lola i Storbritannien för att producera en Ferrari slog långdistans racer efter. Samarbetet mellan Ford och Lola skapade den mäktiga Ford GT40 som absolut slog Ferrari i Le Mans 24 flera gånger.

I Europa införde Ford några av de mest episka race och rallybilar av 60-talet som bygger på ödmjuka familj sedaner; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, och Escort 1600RS med de ikoniska Cosworth BDA motorer.
