1953 marked a golden year for Ford, and this F-100 pickup truck in Glacier Blue is a rolling celebration of that legacy. With its iconic good looks and a 239 Flathead V8 under that long hood, this '53 Ford is ready to work, play, or just cruise in style on its 225/75R15 Nexen tires wrapped around 15" painted steel wheels.
The gray vinyl bench seat with red accents invites you to get behind the wheel and experience the charm of a bygone era. The painted blue dash and door panels, along with the rubber floor mat, keep things simple yet stylish inside. And here's a fun fact: you're looking at a rare find with that column-shifted Ford-O-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission – 1953 was the first year it was available in the F-Series.
Mechanically, this truck has been restored to keep that reliable 239 Flathead V8 humming smoothly. It's mated to the Ford-O-Matic transmission for easy cruising, and the drum brakes at all four corners provide ample stopping power. The leaf springs and shocks at both ends ensure a comfortable ride, whether you're hauling a load in the beautifully refinished wood bed or just enjoying a Sunday drive.
