F-100 Pickup Trucks –
Now Available from Atlas!
After hitting record production numbers with the 1972 F-100, 1973 kicked off the 6th Generation of Ford
®
F-Series pickups. In addition to introducing a
longer wheelbase compared to previous models, these larger “new generation” trucks featured roomier cabs and were advertised as the most “comfortable
and carlike of any conventional pickup ever built” by Ford
®
. In calendar year 1973, 429,664 F-100s were produced in plants across the United States, Mexico,
Canada and Argentina. “Pickup” a few of these to increase the traffic on your layout!
