Vehicle Description
The 1931 Ford Model A open-cab pickup (76-B) is one we love to see
because it combined the comfort of Ford's main sedan with truck
usability. Today that diverse spirit lives in this exceptionally
well restored example that would be an attraction at any vintage
car show, truck show, or even parade.
The bold red paint looks great with the black fenders and black
accent lines. This nice glossy finish looks very period-correct.
It's part of a careful restoration that made sure you have a great
standout package no matter if it's in the car show sunlight or
indoors in your garage. While the pickup was one of the most
utilitarian of the Model As, it did come with dual fender-mounted
spare wire wheels - which was usually reserved for the Deluxe Ford
models. We also love this Model A because it showcases the older
style craftsmanship in places like the wooden bed rails. Above all
else, you're going to enjoy this pickup because it receives the
right investments. So the doors close snugly, it has a nicely
aligned hood, and it just feels sturdy like a pre-WWII Ford
should.
There's just something extra cool about an open-top pickup. While
the tan roof looks good and fits nicely, we bet you'll be spending
most of your time open to the world. No matter how you choose to
motor, stepping inside this Ford will always feel like a time
machine to 1931. That's because all the major components feel
correct, and the restored bench seat feels comfortable. Plus,
there's no better feeling out there than grabbing an older
four-spoke steering wheel and the sensation of having history
literally in your hands. You even have the right details like the
side wind deflectors and a flip-up windshield for extra
ventilation. But even with all these period-correct pieces, you
also have some thoughtful but subtle upgrades. This includes the
pockets in the door panels and the SunPro engine temperature
gauge.
All Model As, even the trucks, got the same torquey 201 cubic inch
four-cylinder engine. Which means maintenance is easier than you
would think on an 85+ year-old pickup. In fact, as you look closer,
you'll discover some great upgrades like the modern alternator,
distributor, and coolant tank. The belt, wires, and hoses appear
well maintained. But you also get all the right original-style
piece like the big green block and gravity-fed Stromberg
carburetor. So it's the perfect mix that can lead the parade route
and show off the engine at the end. The three-speed manual
transmission is light and easy to master with a quick
double-clutch, and the four-wheel mechanical brakes are
surprisingly effective given the Model A's light weight.
This Model A convertible truck has been under the same care for
over a quarter-century, and the high level of restoration tells you
it has been loved that whole time. If you've wanted a 1930s pickup
that was ready to impress on day one, this is it. So don't let this
opportunity pass you by. Call now!
