'54 on the block
For anyone curious, here's a nice 1954 in stock condition (more or less) at auction.
1954 Ford F-100 | Bring a Trailer |
Nice '54
I have been following this one for a few weeks. Although it is a nice refurbished truck some of the claims to being a prize winner seem over blown. I am no expert but can see a few things that are not right for a judged '54. Is that a truck air cleaner? The tail light brackets are unusual. I am sure Abe would be able to tell if this is an accurate restoration. |
Ad says 272 available in 1954 as an option. WRONG!
272 introduced in 1955 Ford Passenger Cars and 1956 trucks. What the hell does a 'so-called' CCCA (Classic Car Club of America) registered expert have to do with postwar Fords, since none are classics by their standards? Only post war (1946/48) Continentals are classics. |
But Gee, you couldn't build it for the current bid, could you. the truck Looks like a beautiful turn key for someone who is unable to build project truck.

And I wouldn't kick it out of my garage for dripping oil on my floor! |
Abe, you couldn't have that truck. The red would clash with your others.
It's a very nice looking truck. I would have to rip that carpet out though. I think it really hurts the look of the interior. If it goes at the current price of $17,500, I would say it's a good deal. I will be interested to see what it ends up going for. |
Less then 1 hour to go, still at $17,500

Final Bid $18,750

High Bid 25,000 Reserve Not Met! |
Wow! It's nice but not that nice!
|
Agreed! For $15K more, my truck could look as good.
|
Final Bid was $25,000. My own interest in this truck was to see what the auction value might be for a truck that was nicely cleaned up without any major modifications and sort of stock.
