292-Powered 1953 Ford F-100 3-Speed

Description

The Ford F-Series entered its second generation in 1953 with a complete redesign, and the half-ton model was renamed the F-100, beginning a naming convention that continues on Ford trucks to this day. Compared with the outgoing F-1, the new F-100 featured a wider cab, larger glass area for improved visibility, a lower stance, better steering geometry, and modern styling that blurred the line between truck and passenger car design.

As part of Ford Motor Company's 50th anniversary celebration, the 1953 F-100 showcased a new level of comfort and capability that influenced pickup design for decades and helped establish the F-Series as one of the most successful vehicle lines in American automotive history.

This 1953 Ford F-100 is finished in black with a custom black bench seat interior. Under the hood sits a 292ci V8 mated to a three-speed column-shifted manual transmission. Underneath, it features a Mustang II-style front end, dual exhaust, and power front disc brakes. Interior amenties include a custom headliner, a Pioneer cassette radio, and aftermarket dash-mounted auxiliary gauges.

This 1953 Ford F-100 is now offered with a Georgia state-assigned VIN and a conditional Georgia title in the seller’s name.
