Ford Courier
The Ford Courier isn't one vehicle but two: a stylish 1950s sedan delivery prized for custom builds and a 1970s Mazda-built compact pickup that competed against Japanese imports.
Listings
Ford used the Courier name on two very different vehicles. From 1952 to 1960, the Courier was a 2-door sedan delivery based on Ford's station wagon platform. After a decade-long hiatus, the name returned in 1972 on a compact pickup truck that was a rebadged Mazda B-Series, sold to compete with small Japanese pickups from Toyota and Datsun.
Collectors are drawn to both versions for distinct reasons. The 1950s sedan delivery is a rare and stylish base for hot rods and custom builds, representing a unique piece of post-war Americana. The 1970s Mazda-built trucks are appreciated for their simple mechanics, reliability, and classic mini-truck styling. They offer an affordable and economical entry into the classic truck hobby.
The market for Couriers is fairly small, reflected in just 17 recent sales. The wide price range shows a mix of project-grade trucks and fully restored examples. With an average price below $9,000, it's an accessible niche for collectors of utility vehicles.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the primary concern for both generations; thoroughly inspect floor pans, cab corners, bed floors, and frame rails.
- For the 1970s Mazda-built trucks, the 1.8L and 2.3L engines are durable but check for timing chain noise and oil leaks.
- Unique trim, badges, and interior components are very difficult to find for both the sedan delivery and the pickup, so a complete vehicle is a major plus.
- Many of these trucks have lived hard lives. Look for signs of shoddy bodywork, frame damage, or poorly executed modifications.
Prices range from $750 for projects to $26,000 for restored examples.
