This 1941 Ford Express is a one-ton pickup that was purchased by the seller in 2017. According to the seller, the truck was previously owned in Minnesota and Iowa by the family of the former chairman of the Socony-Vacuum Oil Company, which became Mobil in 1963. The truck is finished in red over a red interior, and power is provided by a 221ci flathead V8 mated to a four-speed manual transmission. Service under current ownership is said to have included replacement of the starter, fuel tank, floorboards, headliner, and exhaust.
Although the smaller 1/2-ton variants of the 1941 Ford pickup shared styling cues with the automaker’s contemporary sedans and coupes—with headlights integrated into the fenders and a redesigned front end—the heavy-duty models retained the styling of the previous model, including freestanding headlights. This example is a Model 11Y commercial pickup on a 122-inch chassis with a one-ton payload rating. The body is finished in red and features Socony-Vacuum Oil Company lettering and the Mobil pegasus logo on both doors, as well as two Mobiloil barrels in the bed.
Red-painted steel wheels with polished Ford hubcaps are fitted with Power King front tires and BFGoodrich Silvertown rear rubber. The full-size spare is fitted with a Goodyear tire that shows signs of wear and dry rot.
The bench seat is upholstered in red, and the seller reports that the gray headliner was replaced along with welded-in replacement floorboards under current ownership. A black rubber floor mat sits on the driver-side footwell.
A black two-spoke steering wheel fronts an instrument panel with a 60-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer displays just under 86k miles.
The 221ci flathead V8 reportedly received oil and coolant changes in late 2019. Additional service under current ownership included adjusting the carburetor, performing a tune-up, and also replacing the starter, fuel tank, and exhaust.
Power is routed to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. The underbody exhibits corrosion.
