Fox News
The 1953 Ford F-Series featured a lightning bolt on its logo, but not because it was an electric truck. The badge was designed to celebrate the company's 50th anniversary.
Now things are all about-trucks and SUVs and the future is the F-150 Lightning electric pickup, but it's not the first Ford to wear a bolt on its logo. Along with the two previous editions of the Lightning, which were V8-powered performance trucks, the second generation 1953 F-Series debuted one on its hood badge. It wasn't an electric truck by any means, but the new logo was special and meant to celebrate the brand's 50th anniversary.More Related News
