Vehicle Description
1930 Ford Pickup Without stating the complete history of the
automobile or the complete history of the Ford Motor Company, I
present to you my immaculate 1930 Ford Model A Pickup. I was
fortunate to acquire this factory metal, very complete and solid
original truck. It was restored about ten years ago, and I have
taken the time to go through the entire vehicle, and re-present it
in incredible condition. The truck has it original 90 year old
engine, which gets going instantly with a touch of the starter,
runs & drives like 1930. I drive it all over town, very reliable.
(verbal) history of the pickup since new, and information on the
two previous owners. When I acquired it, I put it on Fordbarn and
below is the response I got regarding its history: "Let's set the
record stright. This Closed Cab Pickup is a bonified 1930 Closed
Cab Pickup with the ORIGINAL gas tank which has the 1930 style
twist-on gas cap (not screw-on) and other approprate items
refelecting the early 1930 era of commercial vehicles. This body
style went thru May 1930 when the new version of the Closed Cab was
released by Ford. It was originally bought new (more than likely at
the Thomas 'Ford' Dealership in Walla Walla, Wa) and owned by my
fathers first cousin who used the pickup up to about 1962-1964 on
his dryland wheat farm just 2 miles up river from our farm on the
Touchet River, west of Walla Walla, WA. I remember this pickup
sitting in his barn for many years after that till my brother
bought it about 1977 or there abouts. It was then sold it to a guy
in Walla Walla, WA about 1994. After the restoration, it sat in
this guys shed for many years after...he hardly drove it. It was
then sold to the new owner about 2019. Case closed. Pluck" It is
interesting but there were three Model A pickups in that area. The
first was a 1928-1929 Open Cab just two miles down river from our
house; a 1928-1929 Closed Cab at our house; and the 1930 Closed Cab
up the river from our house.
