This 1952 Ford F-6 Wants to be the Star of Your Next Parade!

Everybody loves a good small town parade. Streets full of kids twirling batons, free candy, and the best part – beautiful classic cars and trucks. But why use a convertible sports car to haul around this year’s beauty queen, when you can do it in real style – with a two ton, classic pickup truck of course?

This 1952 F-6 is the ultimate parade vehicle, capable of hauling the entire cheerleader squad on its flat bed. Oh, and it’s sure to garner a lot more attention than that boring Corvette driven by an old man that you see in every single parade across America.

The Flathead V8 provides barely enough power to get up to parade speeds, and that’s about it. Then again, you aren’t buying this truck to commute to work on the freeway every morning, you’re buying it to be the coolest guy in town. Guaranteed.

This Ford F-6 is in pretty excellent condition overall, but it isn’t perfect.  It’s the ultimate platform for riding around local towns and parades,and getting attention and thumbs up wherever you go. You won’t be afraid to let those 30 teenagers hop in the back and scratch up your bed, either.  Just tell them to bring their own candy!
