1954 Ford F100 Pickup

Description

Capitalizing on the success of the F1, the next generation of Ford Pickup trucks was yet another sales success. These trucks were among the earliest American-made vehicles to benefit from an ergonomic study to increase operational comfort, marketing it as the “Driver Engineered” cab. As a result of this work, there was increased sound deadening, a wider seat, and controls that fall easily to the hand. Engine options for 1954 included a high compression 223 cu-in inline-six-cylinder and the all-new overhead-valve ‘Y-block’ 239 cu-in V8. Today collectors enjoy these trucks for their classic styling and ease of use, allowing them to still be a fun and useful addition to any collection.
