1933 Ford Model 46 Pickup

1933 Ford Model 46 Pickup
Chassis no. 693659
Starting in 1932, Ford started a tradition that it has continued to uphold today—offering the world's best-selling V-8 pickup trucks. Today, the Ford F-150 is one of the bestselling vehicles in the world—nearly 900,000 of them were sold last year, or about one every 30 seconds, 24 hours a day.

This '33 V-8 powered Model 46 Pickup is a bit rarer than that, however. With a body built by Budd, Ford's coachbuilder of choice for the type-830 pickup, it was a handsome workhorse from the day it left the factory. Today it is finished in black with carmine red striping and wheels. Optional stake bed sides are fitted for a bit of extra flare.

Acquired by the Hartogh Collection in 1994 from a respected, Massachusetts collector, it is an elegant machine for hard work.
