Roadster Pickup
I just turned 70 and as a gift to myself bought my first Model A. Already having lots of fun with it. I have confirmed elsewhere that in 1930 there were 48,378 pickups built. Does anyone know how many roadster pickups were built that year? Many thanks.

Re: Roadster Pickup
Here in Australia we were in deep depression and total number of 1930 and 1931 Roadster utilities manufactures was 87 ! Very low numbers.

Can you tell me how many roadster pickups were produced in 1928? I never researched this and now after 41 years, I'm curious. Thanks in advance, Dino Falabrino |

Re: Roadster Pickup
My RPU number shows it was made in Winnepeg Canada in 1928.

Re: Roadster Pickup
I think in a large part of 1928 you could only get the open cab pickup. The 9-6-1928 Fargo Service Letter states closed cab pickup now in production.

That's interesting. So there were half again as many open cab big trucks as pickups. Yet pickups aren't all that uncommon but I don't think I've ever seen an open cab AA except for firetrucks (presumably only a small percentage of AA production). Granted probably most of them got worn-out (and pickups have been reproduced), but still... Last edited by CHuDWah; 04-29-2017 at 02:49 PM. |

Re: Roadster Pickup
My information FWIW, is that there were no Model As brought in in 1931. Henry forced so many cars on local dealers in 1930 that they revolted and flatly refused to take any in '31. I believe you could still buy a brand new ,30 model in 1933 - it took that long to clear the backlog. I'm not ware of a 31 or '32 Ford that was sold new here. All I have seen (never seen a '32) have been more recent imports

Re: Roadster Pickup
Queensland assembly records show they were only selling 6 to 12 Model A's per month back in 1930 and 1931. ford Australia was overstocked and that was the reason there were no imports from Canada in 1931. Geelong archives show the last Model A PASSENGER vehicles were sold to the Ford Dealers and agents in June of 32 and the last of the AA vehicles were sold to the Dealers and Agents in November of 32. In 1932 there were 152 Roadster Utilities sold of them 8 were V8 and the balance was the 4 Cylinder jobs. I'm sure there were Ford Dealers & Agents that had left over stock well in to 1932. Times were tough! Regards Dave

Re: Roadster Pickup
Thanks for all the replies and info/stats. My source for the figure of 48,378 pickups built in 1930 was http://www.pickuptrucks.com/html/his..._segment2.html
Mine was purchased from an estate in Portland, Oregon 3 weeks ago. I then had it shipped to my home in Highlands, NC |
