I was watching some of the Barrett Jackson auction over the weekend, and saw a '35 Ford pickup being auctioned off. They referred to it as a Model "A". Is that true? Were light trucks then actually a model A ?

Not hardly. I find it hard to watch that stuff at times.

I happened to see it twice because of reruns. I think my wife got sick of my tantrums about that awful '35 being called a Model A. It was a travesty to either one.

Those people are muscle car guys, not early Ford guys. Also....the cab was a '36, not a '35.
