Vehicle Description
"It would be hard to argue that any type of vehicle is more
uniquely American than the pickup truck. Once the most basic of
basic transportation, embraced only by farmers and tradespeople,
pickups today are often as likely to be loaded up with options as
cargo, and they have become the personal transportation of millions
of individuals and families...Henry Ford gets the credit for both
the first factory-built pickup truck and for coining the term
"pickup.""
-Car and Driver
This 1928 Ford Model A Roadster Pickup is an American history relic
made in Dearborn, Michigan over 90 years ago. It still bares what
is believed to be its original Rock Moss Green and Black paint.
Seen on the driver's side door is the wear of thousands of hours of
the past owner's arm resting on the door as they cruised the dirt
roads.
The date code correct 200.5 cubic inch L-Head Inline 4-cylinder
engine was produced in July of 1928. The engine comes to a quick
key start and smooth idle, producing 40hp. The 3-speed manual
transmission shifts smoothly and delivers power to the rear tires
that are sitting on 21-inch black painted rims.
The open cab allows for a less claustrophobic feel than the
majority of early Ford trucks. With air traveling through the
simple cabin the driver is given a blast from the past. This car
has working headlights, brake lights, and Directionals. The gauge
panel works as well.
Comfortably sitting on the bench seat, cruising down an old road
listening to the hum of the engine and flow of air, it's hard not
to enjoy!
