Ford F2 1948

General description : VERY NICE, LARGER 239CID FLATHEAD, RARE F-2, CLASSIC AMERICANA, CLEAN, SOLID!!

Not only are you looking at the ever first F-Series pickup, but it's also the heavier duty model. Yes, this 1948 Ford F-2 was the vehicle that helped launch a legend. That's why this minty green restored pickup deserves a prime spot in your garage.
The legendary style of the first-year, first-generation F-Series is already enough to draw plenty of attention, and it really looks terrific dressed in a very period-appropriate Adriatic Green that was applied during restoration. But, this iconic appearance also knows how to stand out in a crowd of pickups because the professional-grade F-2 model has a large bed than its F-1 sibling. But just like its little brother, this one enough brightwork to remind you that even trucks cared about style. You see it in the stainless strips running along the sides of the hood, framing the vents, on the factory hubcaps, and the stacked grille that still echoes in today's F-150. But your favorite feature might not even be bright. The larger truck bed is filled with real oak boards that have a deep, dark glossy stain.
Just like the exterior, the interior is all about retaining the original spirit. But function also can come with plenty of style. For example, the durable bench seat seems to take the same tone as the real wood in the truck bed. Plus, the minty green paint and cream accents of the exterior return on the door panels and dash. This Ford's blue-collar roots are immediately known when you grab three-spoke wheel and feel the grippy groves that have put America to work for decades. There is no radio, but it will hardly be missed because this pickup feels so authentic that it will make you want to whistle a Big Band tune on every trip.
When you take a look at the engine bay, we know you're going to marvel at the details like the decals on the oil bath air cleaner. But more than just look nice, this is Ford's trusty flathead V8 that's still ready to get to work. The 239 cubic-inch engine was the larger of the two motors offered in '48, and that extra wallop of power is appreciated in the higher rated F-2 model. Plus, the upgraded wiring adds a desirable modern upgrade to keep you reliably going down the road. You'll love the way the three-speed manual transmission keeps you in full control, and the single exhaust and bias-ply tires will make every Sunday drive feel like rolling history.
Complete with owner's manual, this is a special pickup that has been given the respect it deserves. You know how cool it would be to be the one with the first-year F-series in rarer F-2 form. So this is true vintage truck envy, and if you hurry, you get to make everyone else jealous. Call now!!

Features : Vinyl Interior, Bias Ply Tires

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.

Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.

During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.

In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.

In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.

Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
