50th Anniversary
1953 NAA Ford Golden Jubilee
In 1952 the division of Ford and Ferguson was complete. Ford had already
begun production of the new Ford models. Many changes were introduced,
starting with the new hydraulic system and ending with the new "Red Tiger"
engine. January of 1953 saw the onset of the production of the new model
Ford NAA Jubilee, the beginning of the new Ford tractor. Treasured by opera
tors in 1953 and by collectors today, the Golden Jubilee has taken its place in
Ford history as a true classic. To commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the
introduction of the 1953 Ford Golden Jubilee tractor, Ertl is proud to unveil this
special 1:16 Scale Precision Collector edition, complete with a Precision blade
and Precision Collector medallion.
