1962 Ford F-150?

Was watching Barrett Jackson Scottsdale on Velocity tonight, and was completely dumbfounded by their auctioning of a 1962 F-150. I always knew, or thought I knew, that the F-150 started in 1975. What gives?

Either the seller listed it as an F150, or Barrett-Jackson hasn't a clue.

I see mistakes like this all the time, people don't know what they have, auctioneers don't have a clue.

I attended a Kruse auction once, a 1932 Packard appeared on the block, they said it was a 120. No such thing as a 120 until 1935, the Packard was a Standard Eight.

I get corrected a lot by the younger crowd at the parts counter when I say I have a F100.


"Oh you mean F150."


No Skippy, look at your computer screen...

We old guys tend to forget - 1962 was 55 years ago and a lot has happened since then.

Barrett Jackson (and hopefully the buyer) should know better for sure, but not everyone is an afficianado.

When I tell people I drive an F-47, most haven't got a hot clue what I'm talking about. It's the ones that do that I want to visit with.

Whatever they're called, we enjoy them for what they are.

Somebody made a simple mistake, not knowing when or how the numbers changed. Look at how many closed captioning mistakes you see in subtitles. My favorite - a classic NFL error when the typist dropped a letter and described the quarterback as "the first non-Moron to graduate from BYU"

I like that you're so confident that the BYU quote was a typo.

So why can,t they call it a 62f150. I see on these forums people put a Cummins in their trucks, and start calling them Fummins. So what.

Well, because words mean things. Truth in advertising, and all that. If my aunt had *****, she'd be my uncle.

Looking at the pix and reading the description, it's clearly a very nice truck. A rose by any other name ...
