Ford didn’t bring a brand new F-150 to Detroit. However, the Atlas concept we showed you yesterday went some way towards pointing the way into the future.
However Ford has been ‘building them tough’ since grandpa was a farer, and they wanted to show a bit of the heritage and history that comes with the F-Series pickup brand.
A fully restored first generation F-Series pickup was standing proud in the middle of the show floor. Known as the Ford Bonus-Built, this was in production between 1948 and 1952. It was sold in many configurations, even as a school bus, and branded as a Mercury M-Series in Canada.
The original F-series had a flat, one-piece windshield. The options lists back then included such creatures comforts as a windshield washer operated by foot, passenger-side windshield wiper and passenger-side taillight.
