Ford’s popular F-Series that is available today and in the fourteenth generation, was born in 1948. It was aimed at mobilizing American small businessholders, farmers and those engaged in trade. For the first generation, the range started with the F-1 which was a half-ton pickup truck. It had a 6.5-foot cargo bed, and sat at just 189 inches long; shorter than many full-size luxury cars of today. Over time, the F-1 has become a cherished classic and a symbol of American freedom – because it allowed you to take your family to market, with your goods for sale in the truck bed. This particular 1950 Ford F-1 Custom Build is a little different, as it’s a restomod with a host of upgrades. Residing in California and having just 13,367 miles since its rebuild, this truck is ideal for someone who wants classic style tastefully combined with modern features and performance.
This 1950 Ford F-1 Custom Build wears a color called Razeberry Plub, which is a new paint job that the truck received during its makeover. A set of silver aftermarket alloy wheels in mag style add a modern vibe to the truck’s otherwise retro exterior outlook, and we can see that it sits a little lower than stock thanks to air suspension. All the truck’s chrome parts such as its headlamp surrounds, grille elements, rear-view mirrors and badges gleam beautifully, and you’ll also note that the cargo bed has been redone in wood with metal strips. The interior of this 1950 Ford F-1 Custom Build features a glide seat, an IDIDIT steering column, a Lokar shifter, an aftermarket steering wheel, and most usefully, air conditioning. Yes, you can be chilled as you drive along in this beauty, even on the hottest Summer afternoons. Other interior features of note include a retro-modern gauge cluster, and the addition of sun visors.
There’s a Dart 434 short block engine under the hood of this 1950 Ford F-1 Custom Build, producing a reported 560 horsepower and sending it to the rear wheels via a 700R4 automatic transmission with 3000 stall speed, and a Ford 9-inch rear axle with 4.30 gears and Positraction. Then, we find an aluminum electric radiator fan, and dual Holley Sniper EFI throttle bodies. That’s not all; the engine benefits from elements such as a 4340 steel crank, hydraulic roller springs, Maley pushrods, and Magnum competition 7/16 ARP roller rockers. Other highlights of this vehicle include a Mustang II front end, electrically-assisted brakes with discs at the front, and new suspension.

The famous Ford F-Series was born in 1948, as America was emerging into a post-war world of promise and prosperity. Now in the fourteenth generation, the F-Series has got to be the world’s longest-running truck series, if not one of the longest. Today, the F-150 is the most popular variant as the half-tonner, but if we look at the first generation, the range simply started with the F-1 as the half-ton variant. That’s what we have here, a 1950 Ford F-1 Restomod from Groveport, Ohio. It’s received a thorough makeover with a 350ci V8 under the hood, an automatic gearbox, a converted 12-volt electrical system and more. If you want to own a classic Ford truck that you can actually enjoy driving, this 78,000-mile machine is your best option.
If you were to consider dipping your toe into the classic car waters, would you be interested in following a path less taken? Everyone goes for the signature American classics that tend to be muscle cars, pony cars or land yachts. But what about a good old true blue pickup truck from the Fifties? This would be a very historically significant statement to make, because pickup trucks have underpinned the American economy in more ways than you’d know. Since World War II ended, these vehicles have played a key part in helping small and medium business owners move their produce, and their families as well. Today’s 1952 Ford F-1 comes from the first generation of Ford’s popular F-Series of pickup trucks, a series that you can still buy today, albeit in its fourteenth generation. While we know the F-150 as the half-tonner, and our parents may recall that the F-100 held this mantle earlier on, the very first F-Series half-tonner was simply called the F-1! This truck currently resides in Port St. Lucie but is looking for a new owner. With just 48,000 miles on the clock, a Flathead V8 and rear-wheel drive, it’s definitely a classic worth conserving, and driving every now and then.
This 1950 Ford F-1 Restomod blends classic American truck design with carefully selected modern upgrades. Painted in a bold black and red two-tone finish, it captures attention with a custom aesthetic while offering increased reliability and performance beneath the vintage sheet metal. The truck rides on a reinforced chassis featuring a front clip from a ’76 Chevy Malibu and steering components sourced from a '96 GMC Jimmy. With its fuel-injected 302ci V8 engine and an automatic transmission, this F-1 has been built to cruise with confidence. Bespoke touches can be found throughout the vehicle—from the custom engine bay graphics to the reimagined cabin. A restored example that hasn’t lost its hot rod soul, this F-1 stands as an ideal candidate for local shows, weekend drives, or simply as a unique centerpiece in any garage.

The Jeep CJ or Civilian Jeep was born out of a corporate need to survive. Willys-Overland used to supply the US Military with Jeeps for World War II. In 1944, they realized that with the War due to end, their lucrative orders would also dry up. So, they turned their attention to an America that was soon due to experience an agricultural and industrial boom, and decided to adapt the military Jeep into the CJ. This proved tougher said than done, because military Jeeps had lifespans of months or even weeks. They were throw-away items. A civilian Jeep, on the other hand, would also experience harsh use but be expected to last for years and even decades. Nevertheless, they did it, and the Jeep CJ was made from 1945 until 1986 across several iterations. Then, the successor gained a name that we know to this day; Wrangler. So, why not celebrate that glorious legacy and buy this 1978 Jeep CJ-5 that’s up for sale in Florida? With a 258ci straight six, a custom paint job, Bilstein performance shocks and more goodies, this is an off-road buddy that will never let you down.
The 1967 Chevrolet El Camino represents a unique moment in American automotive history, blending muscle car performance with pickup-style utility in a single, unmistakable package.

This example has been thoughtfully upgraded to enhance drivability and reliability while preserving its classic character. Finished in a custom orange paint scheme and riding on a modernized drivetrain, it delivers vintage muscle aesthetics paired with improved road manners, making it well-suited for weekend cruising, local shows, or relaxed highway driving.
