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.
It’s funny how Fifties vehicles are so much changed from today’s machines. Just look at the curvaceous lines and smooth curves of this 1952 Ford F-1, decked out in a neat Navy Blue paint job, and you marvel at the fact that this was mostly likely done by hand. In those days, they didn’t have robotized assembly lines, laser cutters or computerized metal shaping equipment. Assembly lines did exist but a lot of the work was done by skilled workers, using rudimentary tools to achieve the end result. Even this truck’s cargo bed is a testament to history, and it’s now been decked out in a lovely wood and metal-strip finish. The interior of this 1952 Ford F-1 comes with a body-colored dashboard and a cream-colored bench seat that’s good enough for up to three adults – certainly it was back then. We’re candidly told by the current owner that there’s no radio or air conditioning, but then again, do you really need these features?
Power comes from Ford’s legendary naturally aspirated 239ci (3924cc) flathead V8 paired with a 3-speed manual column-shift transmission. The engine bay shows hallmark flathead cues including the center-positioned distributor, oval air cleaner, single 2-barrel carburetor, & dual water pumps. The truck rides on leaf springs front & rear with drum brakes providing stopping power. This drivetrain setup emphasizes reliability, torque, & ease of maintenance—qualities that have helped flathead Ford V8 pickups remain favored among collectors & vintage truck enthusiasts.
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.

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.

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.
First generation Ford Mustangs are some of the most popular first-time classic cars around. Think we’re mistaken? Well, based on the amount of them that we’ve shifted, we beg to differ. With well over 2.5 million first-gen ‘Stangs created, there’s definitely no shortage of them around. You’ve got six or eight-cylinder power, three alluring body styles to pick from, and manual or automatic transmissions. So, choosing a first-generation Mustang is really down to your specific tastes and desires. Today’s example is a 1970 Ford Mustang Convertible from Portland, Oregon. It’s got a 302ci V8 under the hood, paired with a 3-speed SelectShift automatic gearbox, and also rocks an aftermarket radio. So do let us know if you’d like to own this sub-36,000 mile pony.
The Ford Model A of 1927 to 1931 was the follow-up to Ford’s famous Model T, that had revolutionized mobility across the world, as well as laid the foundations for many of the automotive industry’s assembly line and mass standardization practices. Many of those advances are still in use today. So, the Model A had a pretty lofty reputation to continue, and it admirably did so. Despite just five model years, over 4.8 million were made, across various body styles. The Model A also came with the standard pedal arrangement for manual transmission-equipped vehicles that we know today, unlike the Model T’s unconventional control layout. Today’s 1930 Ford Model A 5-Window Hot Rod is quite different from a regular Model T, though. Well, for starters it only has two pedals because this machine packs a 3-speed automatic gearbox. That’s not all, there’s a 350ci V8 under the hood, a custom paint job, and under 15,000 miles on the clock since this machine got an extensive do-over. If you’d like to acquire this funky hot rod, it’s currently sitting in Yorba Linda, California.
Ford’s Focus isn’t that popular in America. It’s more of a European hero in the compact car class, where roads are smaller, town centers are tighter and compact cars rule the roost. Here, the Focus would be considered almost too small for our larger-than-life tastes. But hang on, what about the hot variant of the Focus? Specifically, the RS? Now we’re talking, because this is a spicy turbocharged hot hatch with all-wheel drive and 350 horses to be delivered. In fact, the engine of the third generation Focus RS, which is where this 2016 Ford Focus RS for sale hails from, is directly derived from the EcoBoost unit in the sixth-generation Mustang! So if you’re interested, this 86,000-mile car is up for sale in Riverside, California. It’s a four-door, too, so family practicality is another of its strong selling points, in case you need to convince your significant other as to why this car should be in your garage or driveway.
