1900s–1920s
1929 Ford Model A Roadster Pickup
Extensive body-off-the-frame restoration
About This Vehicle
The introduction of the Ford Model A in late 1927 represents one of the most significant business turnarounds of the 20th century. Edsel Ford successfully lobbied to replace the venerable Model T, and when the Model A debuted it marked a quantum leap forward with handsome Lincoln-inspired styling, a larger 200-cubic-inch 40-horsepower four-cylinder engine producing twice the output of its predecessor, a new sliding-gear manual transmission with simplified 'H' shift pattern, welded steel wire wheels, Houdaille-type double-acting shock absorbers, four-wheel mechanical brakes, and a 6-volt electrical system. This 1929 Ford Model A Roadster Pickup is the lucky recipient of an extensive body-off-the-frame restoration.
A rare Roadster Pickup, the owner has the option of 'drop top' motoring while still being able to haul a full load in the bed. Finished in red and black with an attractive wood railed truck bed and driver's side-mounted spare tire, it presents as the ideal choice for parades, display, or simple weekend enjoyment.
