rapidride2 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I have a question that i have always wondered and hope to find some info/production numbers here. Back in the 80's my father owned an all original 1953 Ford f-100 standard bed with the 239ci flathead with a seemingly rare fordamatic/automatic transmission.My question is exactly how rare was this automatic transmission in this year of truck? Thanks to all who reply. Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim_Edwards Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 The stats on the number of a given vehicle produced never shows those numbers broken down by options. In 1953 an automatic transmission in a truck would have been an option, and a rather expensive one at that for a pickup truck. It would probably be safe to say fewer than 10%, if that many, of all the 1953 F-100s produced would have had an automatic transmission and thus your father's truck would have been somewhat rare or unusual.
