As big as a barn. this Model A has a fantastic. purposeful look and someone gave it a high-quality restoration that makes it one of historys more iconic heavy haulers. In the 1930s and 40s. if you received mail. a truck like this probably handled it somewhere along the way. The robust little Model AA makes for a rather attractive truck. and the massive wood bodywork was created by several manufacturers to Fords specifications. giving them a uniform look that was. well. like a uniform. From the olive paint to the sliding doors to the train-car-like roofline. these trucks were distinctive as well as durable. Following a comprehensive restoration several years ago. this one still looks great and will surely be the star of any show it attends. The black front end was typical Ford commercial-grade. blending into the usual cowl section that houses the gas tank. The wood body is mostly original. albeit repainted and with replacement pieces as needed. and with period WWII posters on its flanks. recalls an era when life was a little slower. a little simpler. Its probably nicer than it ever was when it was in service and offers many unique details that make it a fascinating piece of history. For safety. dual taillights have been added. as well as a painted front bumper. but otherwise its just as Ford intended back in 1931. The interior is bone simple. a utilitarian design specifically created for practical purposes only during the harsh economic climate of the early 30s. The bench seat with its bolt-upright seat back is wide enough for one and a half people. so Im not sure what the USPS was thinking when they specd it that way. The familiar Ford instrument panel is stashed under the heavy bodys wood windshield frame and cowl. and the wooden floor was painted the same olive green as. well. just about everything else. Twin sliding doors make it easy to deliver from either side and despite the sever conditions in which this truck surely worked. someone took the time to make it attractive. too. with pleasant angles and neat details. In back. the cargo bay is truly massive. so if youve got the time. itll still move just about anything you own (or maybe even everything). It also includes a pair of vintage mail bags that are a neat accessory. Fords familiar 200 cubic inch four-cylinder engine powered everything from the lightest roadsters to this big truck. but thanks to clever gearing and a 4-speed transmission. it doesnt seem to struggle at all. Its slow. but it goes about its job with that happy Model A soundtrack and bulletproof reliability. which is surely why the Ford was chosen for postal delivery duties in the first place. The engine bay is quite authentic. from the flat copper spark plug leads to the Ford green paint on the block. and everything appears to be in order (theres really not much that can go wrong here). The chassis looks like it might have been freshened at some point and remains in good order. complete with a correct Model AA exhaust system that delivers the perfect sound. Heavy-duty steel wheels with 6. 50-20 truck tires give it a sturdy look. There are only a handful of these left and they represent an important part of our motoring heritage. Its also just plain fun to show up in a giant old truck that is so instantly recognizable. Call today!
