Description for Ford F-100 1959

This 1959 Ford F-100 is one of the most interesting finds around. It was a family passion project that you can see everywhere from the well-done color combo, to subtle upgrades that give it added usability and charm.

We were told the restoration story on this one started out as a project between a grandfather and grandson. Those often make for the best builds because there's heart that goes into the work. You can see that directly reflected in this pickup. The body lines are crisp from keeping a careful eye on the sheetmetal. The gray paint has a great workman attitude, and at the same time, the shine instantly lets people know there was an investment here. The same premium feeling comes from the trim and chrome bumpers. We especially love the distinction of the red wheels with two-piece trim and whitewalls. While the whole package looks great, you also don't have to be afraid of pulling real truck duty, because the steel bed is protected with liner paint.

If you like the look of the red wheels against the gray exterior, then you're going to love the bold red interior. The bench seat even has white inserts, so this same appeal as the wheel/tire package. The wraparound windshield give the cab an airy feeling, the heater will get you through the cold mornings, and the large steering wheel has that unmistakable vintage grip. But even with all this classic attitude, you may have also noticed a Bluetooth speaker cleanly mounted to the dash. That means you still get modern music in your very vintage ride.

Even the engine bay has some bold red flair. The restoration made sure that this V8 radiated from within all this darkness, and it even has nice details, right down to the factory decal on the air topper. Ford's 292 cubic-inch V8 was the largest motor offered at the time, so it's the exact powerhouse you want in this truck. It even has upgraded headers to add power and give a nice tune to the dual exhaust. And the column-shifted three-speed manual transmission lets you control it all in that cool/classic way.

This is a strong-running passions project vintage Ford. So you know you need to get your hands on it right now.
