1953 Ford F-100 Pickup 50th Anniversary

VIN: F10D3N25540

This is a hard truck to come by. Not only is this the first year of the F-100, but it also coincided with Ford's 50th Anniversary, giving this F-100 special badging and a long list of new and exciting changes. Ford pulled out all the stops, not just for their trucks, but their cars, commercial vehicles and tractors all saw new, massive upgrades. New engine options that feature overhead valves, a shorter wheelbase, increased visibility by the addition of a bigger window, a 5' wide bench seat and increased cab size just scratch the surface of new features added to the newly dubbed F-100.

This F-100 is the real deal; a 50th anniversary horn badge shines bright on the steering wheel and original equipment can be found throughout. The Mileage Maker 223ci engine, transmission, rear end, fenders and interior items are just a few of the authentic components you'll find when you examine this beautiful, jet-black '53. The interior remains as a relic of the good times: the bench seat's lone red upholstery thrives in the black abyss that is the cab. The undercarriage is a work of art that will do things to you; you'll break your gaze only to quickly wipe the drool from your chin. Take a look at over 100 pictures and an in-depth video to get a better feel for this 50th anniversary F-100!
