Ford NAA Golden Jubilee
Utility tractor · 1953–1954 · Gasoline
Introduced in 1953 to mark Ford's 50th anniversary as an automaker, the NAA — nicknamed the Golden Jubilee — was an all-new design that replaced the N-series and introduced Ford's own 134 cubic-inch "Red Tiger" engine and a live-action hydraulic system. Its higher stance, new sheet metal, and gold-accented grille badge distinguished it visually from the 8N it succeeded. Built for only about two years, it remains a milestone model prized for launching Ford's next generation of tractor engineering.
