Ford Courier From 1952 to 1958 the Ford Courier was marketed as a "sedan delivery" designated body code 78A, and was based on the contemporary sedan and station wagon designs. During the 1957 and 1958 model year, a windowed variant of the Courier was marketed for fleet orders and a number were produced primarily for Government services.

Default My Son Just Bought His First Rig 80 Courier
Could anyone tell me how many MPG this rig should get (aprox). It is a 4 cyl. 4 speed long bed YELLOW and well rust BUT his earned the $$ himself and he is very proud as he should be. It runs great!!! Reminds me of the good old days The days of the 2-50 AC (2 windows down and 50 MPH) also how many gallons of gas does it hold. (I need to know how far away he can go)
