1956 Ford F-Series

Automobiles

In 1956, its final year, the second generation received a redesigned cab with a vertical A-pillar and a wraparound windshield, though the front bodywork was largely unchanged. Functional changes included electric windshield wipers instead of vacuum ones, tubeless tires on models above the F-100, and a 12 volt electrical system. A deep dish Lifeguard steering wheel was standard, with seat belts as an option, and the Y-block was enlarged to 272 cubic inches, up to 167 horsepower.
