Details

This gorgeous blue and black 1929 Ford Model A open cab pickup is a drivable piece of history. This superb Model A pickup has had a frame-off restoration and a 1932 Model B L-head 4 cylinder engine which is essentially a variant of the Model A engine with improved balancing, lubrication and an increase to 50hp. This truck drives just as it should with a smooth shifting 3-speed manual transmission and has improved stopping power with hydraulic brakes. With a removable softtop and tilting windshield there is nothing like cruiseing down your favorite boulevard in this head turning classic. The Model A replaced the Model T and was Ford's first vehicle to use a standard set of controls with conventional brake, clutch, gear shift and throttle possitions. This Model A is leaps and bounds ahead of the Model T in terms of ease of use, where you can simply jump in, turn the key and drive away. This Model A has excellent condition tires as well as a very handsome yet simple interior with a visual gas gage, hand operated windshield wiper and only a few other controls.
