The 1956 model is worth learning more about! Ford produced 137,581 Ford F-100s in 1956, which surprisingly, wasn’t a ton compared to the 700,000 Ford F-150s that are produced today. However, the main thing that made the Ford F-100 an interesting vehicle was that it was the most powerful production car of its time.
The Ford F-100 had a 3.5-liter inline-six engine under the hood that churned out an impressive 167 horsepower. That may not seem like much by today’s standards, but it’s quite a bit considering the technology at the time.
Today, you can find one of these pickups for about $5,000 on average. However, mint-condition Ford F-100s go for about $80,000 to $90,000.
