The 1962 Ford F-100 was part of Ford’s fourth-generation F-Series, a line of tough, no-nonsense workhorses that helped cement the F-Series as a best-seller. By ’62, Ford had transitioned the F-100 to a more traditional body-on-frame layout (after experimenting with unibody construction in earlier years), which gave it greater durability and versatility for work or recreation. Styling was clean and squared-off, with a wide grille, simple chrome accents, and a functional, utilitarian cab. Buyers could choose from straight-six or V8 engines, paired with manual or automatic transmissions, giving the F-100 the balance of reliability and power needed for both farm and suburban use. Today, the 1962 F-100 is admired by collectors for its classic early-’60s looks.
