"A truly wonderful tow truck that stands out in any context. Perfect for vintage car meets, museums, or as a promotional vehicle."

Description

This tow truck was imported from Florida about 3 years ago, where it likely assisted many stranded motorists during the 1950s and 60s. The vehicle has a charming patina both inside and out. Additionally, the towing mechanism is functional. The truck can be driven with a standard B-license, so just start up the fine side-valve six-cylinder engine and drive off. It has a 4-speed transmission with a very low first gear.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Technically, almost everything works well. The engine starts easily and runs smoothly. The unsynchronized transmission also operates very well. The brakes work evenly and smoothly. The towing mechanism is also functional.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior is in a patinated condition, and the gauges work satisfactorily. The seats and headliner are intact and clean.

  • Exterior condition:

    The pictures speak for themselves. Scratches on the right front fender and rust on the front of the hood add to the impression of the vehicle's history. A tow hitch is, of course, included—after all, it is a tow truck.

  • General condition:

    A fun car that is in very good condition for its age and a memorial from the optimistic American 1950s.

Owner's comment

A 50s classic that attracts a tremendous amount of attention in any setting. Thoroughly checked and ready to "hit the road, Jack.

Facts about the model

Ford F-2: A Post-War Pioneer

The Ford F-2 was the first true post-war vehicle sold in a variety of versions as a work truck. The development objective of the Ford F-2 included making driving easier, with a more comfortable and roomier cab, and achieving great customer appreciation. When introduced, Ford's new truck was the only one featuring an all-new post-war design.

GM's Advance Design trucks featured an all-new body but were based on a pre-war platform shared with other GM passenger cars. Dodge's B series, although fully redesigned, retained an outdated semicircular rear wheel well design. Ford departed from sharing a common platform with its passenger lineup and developed a purpose-built truck frame specifically for the F-Series. The new frame included a third cross-member, providing extra strength sufficient to be shared with its medium-duty lineup.
