  • (Sold)This old 1953 Ford 2 door Ranch wagon has spent the last several decades in dry storage!!!! It has been in the building where I found it for 20+ years. The former owner had it stored in another building for for 10-15 years prior to that. The guy that he bought it from decades ago was another guy that I knew who was also a dedicated Ford collector and the car had been stored in one of his buildings for several years also! From what I was told, this old Ranch Wagon has been in dry storage for the past 35-40 years before I got the call on it!!!!
    Wagons are super hot and super cool. This is a pretty decent old car that would make an amazing patina style build OR it could be fully restored since it is really in pretty decent condition!!! Let's go check this one out!!! Just give me a call if you have any questions!!!!

    If you have questions about vehicles or parts, the only way to get a hold of me is to call me, 8 AM-8 PM CST, no texts, no e-mails, no messenger, no smoke signals, calls only. 620-786-4428
    If I don’t answer, I’m probably on the phone with someone else and if you don’t leave me a message, I just assume you're another telemarketer trying to sell me an extended warranty! LOL!
    I am not open to the public, so if you show up without calling and making an appointment, don't expect me to be available.
    If you comment, message, text, e-mail, etc., don't expect me to find it and don't expect an answer. Thanks for watching, Chad 620-786-4428

    My parents had a 54 that got wrecked so dad bought a 55 so this brings back memories. The 54 was the same color but dad painted the roof pillars a darker blue. Thanks for saving this gem.

    Exactly like one my mother and father had. Same color. They brought it back in 54. Didn't have sun visor and had v8. What a find.

    My grandfather had a 55 Ford wagon. I remember his had four doors. Grandma always warned us kids not to touch the doors as we sat in the back seat. She was afraid they would fly open and we would fall out. Us kids rode on the tailgate when grandma wasn't with us in the car. The car was tan over chocolate brown.

    On many of the wagon I have seen the tailgate is usually the worst spot but that thing is solid no rust at all that is so cool and the engine would of been the 215 cu in I think 1953 was the last year for the flathead V8 before the Y block came out. I find it amazing that there are still cars like this still sitting all over the place and that car is as original as original can get.

  • @barrygrant2907
    @barrygrant2907 12 дней назад +5

    I'd have to drop a nice little 289 in it and fix the body. Some might like the "patina," but I'm all for full body repair and paint. Make it look cool.

    A lady that lived next to my Grandparents had a 52 or 53 2 Door Customline 3 on the tree and I would assume straight 6 I'm 64 it would be early 60's when she would drive my 2 younger brothers and mom back home after we had walked over to visit. I still remember she would start out in 1st rev it up a bit and jump to 3rd she still had it when she passed away in the 80's was always in a garage with no window.s
