On the Motor Trend Channel, I recently saw an episode of "Full Custom" (?) where the star of the series converted a 1929 Closed cab pickup truck to a railroad shuttle vehicle, using photos of one from the 1930's that the railroad supplied him. Pretty ingenious how he duplicated what the original shuttle car looked, including hand-fabricating the intricate metal strap cowcatcher. Although not an exact replication, the final product looked pretty close to the original. A good job overall. I do, however, bemoan the fact that yet another survivor Model A no longer exists as such. Its new iteration has merit, to be sure, and I take my hat off to the guy who did the conversion. But, dang! ANOTHER one gone forever.
At least it didn't become a rat rod or some gaudy hot rod circus wagon that screams of bad taste!
