Ford Sedan-Delivery 265ci Flathead 1953

Allmän beskrivning : 1953 Ford Ranch Wagon Back in the 50's you would have gotten laughed at for thinking your station wagon was cool but nowadays this body style has had a huge resurgence and have become pretty desirable.  This 1953 Ford Ranch Wagon is one of those that you just don't really see that often.  It has a unique look with the classic 53 Ford style front end and rounded edges that would soon disappear when the 60s arrived.  Most people picture station wagons as huge boats that take up the whole parking space but this one actually isn't oversized at all.  It is a 2 door and actually has a pretty short wheel base considering it is a station wagon.  If you are a band or someone who wants a classic but needs space to haul stuff this thing would be perfect.  It is painted in a Sea foam Green which is the perfect color to represent its 50s heritage.  The chrome and stainless is in good shape including the long strips that run all the way around the top from front to rear.  The glass is all good and these cars actually had rear windows that slide out of the way versus rolling down which is a pretty cool design you don't see everyday.  The gate operates correctly with the bottom half folding down and the top folding up similar to what you see on the popular Chevy Nomad.  The wheels on it are painted to match but then topped with Ford hubcaps and wrapped with radial wide white wall tires which suit the car perfectly.  The car is mostly stock when it comes to the drivetrain being powered by a 239 flathead with Fenton headers that runs well.  It has been kept looking original under the hood and the motor is even topped off with the correct "Ford Special" oil bath air cleaner.   Backing the engine is a 3 speed manual transmission with overdrive which is a pretty unique system if you have never used one before.  The pro three on the tree users will tell you that due to the overdrive there are ways to actually drive the car without shifting as often as you would think.  The rest of the mechanics like the suspension and brakes are all the stock systems but all work properly.  It is an original 6 volt and has not been converted to 12.    The interior is done in Brown and is in good condition.  It has the split front bench with normal bench second row seating.  Behind that is storage room but if you need extra the rear seat also folds down.  It even has the original style wood trim pieces on the doors and sides running to the back.  The dash has the original stock set up and everything is working properly except for the gas gauge.  Being a 53 it received the 50th anniversary Ford special edition steering wheel which is still nicely mounted in place.  If you want something unique this is definitely one to check out.  Unless you are at an all Ford event you will likely not be parking next to another one any time soon.  It is a great looking original classic but if you wanted to go a more custom direction would be a good candidate for that too.  It is being offered up at the very reasonable price of only $22,500.00!

om Ford
Ford, som grundades 1902, har utan tvekan förändrat historien om bilvärlden mer än någon annan biltillverkare genom att införa de första folkbilen Modell T 1908. De hade producerat mer än 15 miljoner bilar i slutet av produktionen 1927, genom vilket T hade blivit föråldrade.

Ford lanserade den första lågpris V8-motor driven bil 1932. 1932 V8 var en omedelbar hit med överlägsen hantering och prestanda för många betydligt mer expansiva bilar av dagen. Inte undra på 32 V8 Ford har blivit en sådan favorit bland heta rodders runt om i världen med 32 Deuce Coupe som sin ikon.

Under kriget Ford helt stänga civil bilproduktionen att ägna alla sina resurser till de allierade krigsansträngningarna (1942-1945) De används för att bygga B-24 bombplan, flygmotorer, jeepar, M-4 stridsvagnar, militära lastbilar och Bren-gun bärare och mer än 30.000 super laddade Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 motorer till Mosquito och Lancaster bombplan samt P-51 Mustang fighters. Efter kriget Ford bilar i USA blev större och flashier tillsammans med sina konkurrenter. I 60: s Ford var tillbaka i förgrunden igen när man inför deras kommersiella hit Mustang 1964. Mustang var så populär tävlingen var tvungen att följa Fords exempel och ponycar fenomenet tog över USA. Under åren ponnyer växte några muskler tills oljekrisen döda äntligen dödat dem.

På sextiotalet rusade Ford i internationell motorsport scenen med en raseri. Efter misslyckade Ferrari övertagande, då Enzo Ferrari hade klippt affären av med Henry Ford II gör det senare absolut koka av vrede, vände Ford till Lola i Storbritannien för att producera en Ferrari slog långdistans racer efter. Samarbetet mellan Ford och Lola skapade den mäktiga Ford GT40 som absolut slog Ferrari i Le Mans 24 flera gånger.

I Europa införde Ford några av de mest episka race och rallybilar av 60-talet som bygger på ödmjuka familj sedaner; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, och Escort 1600RS med de ikoniska Cosworth BDA motorer.

Idag klassiska Fords är mycket populär bland entusiaster och ett stort urval av klassiska Fords finns till försäljning på www.ClassicDigest.com
