1951 F-1 Panel Van is Ready to Roll
Daily Slideshow: This classic Ford reminds us that there was once a time when deliveries weren't just made in boring white vans.
This Ain't No UPS Truck
If there's one major difference between today and the first half of last century, it's that we used to do everything in style. While folks are perfectly happy wearing brown shorts and tooling around in giant brown boxes to deliver packages these days, it wasn't always that way. No, we used to deliver goods in vehicles like this gorgeous 1951 F-1 panel van.
An Award Winning Restoration
The red on red F-1 has undergone a painstakingly detailed top to bottom restoration. Everything is as it was when the van rolled off the assembly line in the early 50's, from the color to the radio and heater. And all of that hard work has paid off handsomely, as the F-1 has since become both an AACA Senior winner and a Dearborn Award-winner.

Interior
As is the case with all the trucks from this era, the interior was an exercise in utilitarian simplicity. Things like heated seats, dual zone climate control, and satellite radio were only a pipe dream in the '50s.
