Definitely not a '53 inline six.....looks more like a 170 or 200 cu inch from the 1960s (Falcon, base-model Mustang engine). That clutch pedal position also looks a tad odd...close to the floor.
@@michaelbenardo5695 Well, I was incorrect on the engine. I was probably fooled by the look of the narrow scalloped shaped valve cover (similar to the early 144 and 170 Falcon engines). I replayed the video, and he says it's a 250 cu inch Ford inline six. In researching this, I recall now that Ford in-fact produced these from 1969 to 1980.

@@carlv8168 I was thinking it was could have been that engine. The Ford 250 6 was a raised-deck long stroke version of the the 144/170/200 Thrift Power 6. I think those engines were based on the engine in the English Ford Consul/Zephyr/Zodiac cars.
@@michaelbenardo5695 Yes, you're correct, Michael. It was definitely a more efficient and more powerful engine that the antiquated inline six of the '50s, which was an anemic clunky 223 cu inch with noisy solid lifters/rocker arms.
My parents had a tan/ivory one; not sure if it was a 1953 model.
I remember it had only 2 side doors and a lift-up back window.
My parents driver when I was a youngster in the early 50's. it was green.
Why would you put that much money in a car and not fix the floorboards.
Tight-wad. Probably figured that nobody will see them, until he falls through the floor.
If something falls through the hole in the floor it goes to another dimension
Left the floors swiss-cheesy? Weird.

Can't imagine wanting to drive this car with only a 170 6 cyl.

-I realise this is an old vid. -
I love those old Ranch Wagons. Don’t see them much, if any, anymore.
DID IT EVER SALE?
