Re: Model A commercial vehicles picture thread!!
Does anyone have a photo of a 29AA car hauler with a load of Model A's?
I thought I remembered seeing a photo one time but can't locate it now. |

Re: Model A commercial vehicles picture thread!!
John, what country is the pic from? Some vehicles are RHD.
The 2 in front left look like Studebakers. Anybody know what the flash car is parked on the road? Manuel in Oz |

As for the RHD vehicles, it appears from old images that many fire truck manufacturers retained RHD long after passenger cars settled on LHD here in the States. Also, fire trucks tend to stay in service a long time; Alhambra's trucks may have been 5-15 years old when this picture was taken(?). As for the "flash car"... I'm guessing Auburn? Help, anyone? |

Full service, 1931 style...
A dealer selling Fords, Lincolns and Fordsons, and 20 Millionth decoration in the window, and a gas pump at the curb, and an "A" in the driveway, and an "AA" in front, with a race car aboard! WOW Thanks to http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/12/transporters-and-haulers-in-unusual.html |

Re: Model A commercial vehicles picture thread!!
To piggyback onto Tim Kelly's post about the taxi, here is a closeup I took of the hinges (most likely after he pointed out the trivia associated with the three hinges). These are from the MARC meet in Grand Rapids in 2006.
This "taxi" has a good story in that it has been in the same family since new. I believe the history was that the family operated a taxi service and special ordered this one to use as a personal car with the full bench seat and no divider, just like TK mentioned. -Tim Last edited by WTSHNN; 02-26-2011 at 05:48 PM. |

I am enclosing a few pictures of the Hilco Autosled made in the mid 1930s in St. Cloud, Minnesota, at the former Pan Automobile plant. These were made for mail delivery, doctors, and others who needed winter transportation.

Re: Model A commercial vehicles picture thread!!
Nice thread!
Should submit some pictures of my first ground-up projekt, a '30/'31 pick-up. Me, in the mock-up. My friend and mechanic, thinking I'm nuts! Rear piece from a fordor, but I've got one, which is horizontal parted, and seems original. Bought a rolling frame with a fiber glass roadster, and I'm going to use that frame and axles for the PU. Will start a thread on the restoration of it, when I start the project.

Re: Model A commercial vehicles picture thread!!
Thanks! They were actually very easy to make, just following the tutorials.

I guess, it's assembled on Teglholmen, in Copenhagen, Denmark. As far as I'm informed, most northeuropean Model A's is asembled on the old asemblyline there.

Re: Model A commercial vehicles picture thread!!
Not Model A Ford but Model T. This is my late 14 screenside delivery, almost orginal. Only replace damaged wood parts and top. The original color looks like a dark green, and can be found behind the rear fenders. I'm not sure if I want to restore it. Purrs like a kitten and is a blast to drive.
