1953 Ford F-100 ½ Ton Pickup – A Piece of American Truck History
1953 Ford F-100 ½ Ton Pickup – A Beautifully Preserved Piece of American Truck History
Offered here is a striking 1953 Ford F-100 ½ Ton Pickup, finished in classic green with a cream interior, and powered by its legendary 239 cubic-inch Flathead V8 producing 106 horsepower through a 3-on-the-tree manual transmission. This iconic second-generation F-Series truck captures the spirit of post-war American ingenuity and craftsmanship.
The 1953 model marked a turning point in Ford truck design—introducing the now-famous “Driver Engineered” cab, created from an ergonomic study using a life-size “Measuring Man” model to ensure comfort and improved control layout. The result was a truck that combined hard-working durability with surprising driver comfort and modern convenience.
The 1953 F-100 replaced the F-1 and introduced many firsts in Ford truck design—wider seating, better visibility with a one-piece windshield, improved insulation, and easier-to-reach controls. Ford spent over $30 million in development to create a pickup that not only worked hard but felt good to drive—a revolutionary idea for the time.
Now considered one of the most collectible post-war American trucks, the early F-100 has earned a devoted following among enthusiasts. Many have been modified or lost over the decades, making authentic, well-preserved examples like this one increasingly rare. This F-100 presents beautifully, with excellent paint, chrome, and woodwork. The truck starts easily, runs smoothly, and drives as it should.
Whether you're a collector, enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates classic Americana, this 1953 Ford F-100 represents the perfect blend of history, originality, and drivability.
