1961 Ford Econoline E100

Description

A forward-control pickup like this 1961 Ford Econoline E100 is always going to be an attention-getter. But it only gets better with the two-tone paint, comfy interior, and all the other solid investments that make this distinct classic pickup an even better value.

An Econoline E100 truck is already a rare sight these days, so you know this one will grab plenty of attention. Good thing that the Starlight Blue and Corinthian White have plenty of gloss and shine. It's the factory-correct color combo but it's a more modern professional application that keeps this pickup looking good. And the unique forward control truck sheetmetal is complete and correct. So this one makes the right kind of first impression with the look of a quality investment. Plus, there are nice details of distinction, like the wooden bed rails and the black torque thrust wheels. But don't forget that a truck is also made to be functional. The unibody style that puts the passenger space ahead of the front axle makes for a compact and strong package with a rather spacious truck bed. And the tailgate swings open wide to give you clear access to the useful bed that's even protected with liner paint.

These forward control trucks offer a nice cab with individual seats, flat floor, and a commanding view of the road. This one continues that tradition with a look of classic industrial attractiveness while still giving you some nice upgrades, like the gray carpeting and modern high-back bucket seats. Plus, you also have a full set of crisp Dolphin backlit gauges.

The unique position of the engine bay means you're going to want to show it off occasionally. So the inline-six has a nice setup with good belts, hoses, and wires. There are also thoughtful additions, like upgraded engine bay insulation and an aluminum radiator with a toggle-controlled electric fan. And you even have a true full dual exhaust system with glasspacks. It fires up readily, and you get complete control over it all thanks to the column-shifted three-speed manual transmission.

This is the first year for the Econoline, and this truck is distinct, versatile, and solid. That makes for a terrific classic that's ready to run right now. Call today!!!
