When it comes to practicality, it’s hard to beat the good old pickup truck. A symbol of ruggedness, utility, and preparedness, if you own anything with a cargo bed, you’ll know how many times you’re asked to help out with transportation-related errands. But while many pickups live and die as workhorses, there are few that get lovingly restored to become true works of art. “A work of art” is the best way to describe this 1940 MY Ford Pickup restoration, which has undergone extensive work to preserve this timeless slice of automotive heritage. The restoration work carried out on this pickup includes a complete respray and a newly upholstered interior.
Although built to lead a life of hard work, few trucks have been made that could challenge the 1940 Ford Pickup for design beauty. The already elegant styling has been enhanced with a new paint job, which the owner reports was carried out in 2023. The restoration efforts also included all new glass parts and new lights. The grey exterior is perfectly set off by the wheels, which feature chrome hubcaps with whitewall tires. Finally, the truck’s bed floor has been newly refitted with wood. The cabin has been refreshed with a newly upholstered light grey interior. The bench seat has been sourced new, while the headliner has also been redone. A large four-spoke steering wheel is in place, behind which sits a bank of new VDO gauges that monitor vital parameters, including road speed, water temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel levels.
Under the expansive hood is a 221ci Flathead V8 motor. The engine itself is a sight to behold, with the simple and uncomplicated bay featuring plenty of chrome ancillaries. The V8 delivers power to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission that has been sourced from a 1995 Ford Mustang. The 1940 Ford Pickup features a floor-mounted shifter, while for maximum load-carry capabilities, the rear end features a solid axle with leaf springs.

Bullitt, starring Steve McQueen, was one of the most iconic movies of the Sixties. Who can forget that iconic scene where McQueen’s character burns plenty of rubber in a 1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback? The car was painted in a distinctive shade of green, and subsequently, there would be many Bullitt Mustang editions available to the public. So, when Ford turned to retro-modern design with the fifth generation of the Mustang, it was logical for a Bullitt Edition to follow. This particular 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt has just 22,990 miles on the clock and comes with two keys, plus all servicing up to date. Most importantly, it proudly bears Steve McQueen’s signature on the faux aluminum dash, and comes with a Frank Bullitt license plate too.
Named after Henry Ford’s sprawling estate in Dearborn, Michigan, the Fairlane was Ford’s full-size car between 1955 and 1970. The name would see some use in markets outside America as well, notably Australia, later on. The Fairlane represented the flagship Ford automobile that a buyer could purchase and came with all the expected trimmings and comforts. It was made in a wide array of body styles, including a convertible aptly called the Sunliner. If you’re searching for a first-generation Fairlane, we’ve got this 28,713-mile 1955 Ford Fairlane Sunliner available right now. It’s a great classic that will only appreciate in value as time goes by.
Ford’s Bronco is widely believed to be the one that started the whole Sport Utility segment. Introduced in 1966, Ford wanted a competitor to take on the formidable Toyota Land Cruiser, as well as Jeep’s best-selling CJ series. The result was the Bronco; designed and engineered by much of the same team that gave us the Mustang just a year and a bit earlier. Well, that team was definitely a dream team in the automotive world because the Bronco was another runaway sales success for Ford. Even today, first-generation Broncos are in high demand. Luckily, we’ve got one for sale right now, a restored, well-maintained, and tastefully modded 1970 Ford Bronco with just 33,500 miles under its belt.

Chevy’s Advance Design series of pickup trucks entered the market in 1947, taking over from the venerable AK Series, which had served during World War II. The Advance Design was a major redesign exercise, and nearly everything about these trucks was new; after all, America had emerged from the War, and a new era of enterprise and promise had begun. The Advance Design would thus form the basis of commercial transportation for many small and medium-sized businesses. The Advance Design came in ½, ¾ and 1-tonne capacities, as well as Loadmaster and Thriftmaster configurations. This particular 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod started life as a half-ton truck, and it still remains a half-ton truck. Well, except that it’s received a thorough makeover inside and out, making it something truly distinctive to own and drive.
Classic American trucks are a treat to own; they don't just bring great driving memories but also serve as practical tools if needed.

With a reported 95,353 miles on the clock, this original classic American truck comes with service records, two keys, and previous ownership documentation.
