1932 Ford Model Replica by Shay. The Shay is a reproduction of the Ford Model A.Manufactured by the Shay Motor Company in 1980 and distributed by the Ford dealer network. Orders were taken by Ford dealers starting in 1978.The build was limited to 10,000. vehicles to avoid federal regulations. The original plan was for this to be the first of a classic series that would feature a different model each year. Built on the frame of a Pinto the cars also shared a common power train the 2.3 liter 4 cylinder and 4 speed transmission. The Shay is a unique vehicle,it is not a Pinto or a Model A.It is a fun car to own and fun to drive that can be purchased for a modest price.Always a head turner on the street,car cruises or parades.You will have a hard time finding a car that will draw as much attention for the dollar as the Shay will with the rumble seat, wide whitewall tires and side mounted spare tire for that period correct look.The Shay has developed a strong following over the years and have a club of enthusiasts.
