Re: Model A commercial vehicles picture thread!!
Maybe Ryan could stick this thread!!
Searching in the web I found this beutiful picture. I am afraid that is not available on the website and for this reason the size is small, but worth looking at... |

Vince Falter, at The Model "A" Ford Garage, has some Model A Station Wagons and AA trucks from 1932 being used by the 17th Artillery division...... I believe. Some nice ones like this one!

Re: Model A commercial vehicles picture thread!!
In the picture figure the text below
A century-old printing press is delivered to the Huntington County Historical Society by a 1941 Model A Ford once used as a tow truck by Harley Henline in Huntington. Photo provided. So I figured the date is wrong!! http://www.huntingtoncountytab.com/c...useum-displays |

Re: Model A commercial vehicles picture thread!!
Here is a december 30 AA rolling chassis with matching numbers. This one is sitting out side of my home model A shop. I've got everything but the cab. I'm thinking about a big huckster.

Re: Model A commercial vehicles picture thread!!
Thanks!!! The guy that I got it from said that the engine had been rebuilt and it was running when he removed the cab. It had been sitting for a few years. The engine was stuck. After close investigation I found that a few valves were stuck. I unstuck the valves and the engine now turns with good , pop your thumb off the plug hole compression on all four. I'm tempted to put all of the engine parts back on and crank it up.

Thanks Irish Hills, Here is a close up of the building and some model A art stuff. I built the shop in 1995 out of rough sawn cedar. I'm just letting it weather.

Re: Model A commercial vehicles picture thread!!
Here are a few old photos of some of my (mostly) commercial vehicles.
The first one was taken on the top of Eagle Summit on the way to Central, Alaska. This 1931 Pick-Up was my Fathers, and how I got started with this Model A journey. My 1931 All Steel Top AA, the former Kirby Vacuum Cleaner Truck. The second from the left in the last photo is the 1925 Studebaker that I traded for my 1930 Standard Phaeton.

When I lived in upstate N.Y. we had 40 acres and a nice old barn built from beams and wood pegs. A nice piece of history that was well preserved, but the new owners burned it down on purpose and put up a tin pole barn for their horses. |

Wow Tom, That's a real shame! There are idiots everywhere. One man's historic piece is another man's junk.
