Vehicle Description
This 1930 Ford Model A Pickup is known as Pineapple Pete. It has a
unique story that has the story of family and daily driving at its
heart. So dig into the info on this sweet treat named Pete.
The two-tone yellow and brown is a distinct color combo that also
doesn't feel out of place for the 1930s. It helps tell the story of
the consignor's grandfather who says he bought this new to haul
pineapples for Dole in Hawaii. And today, the playful logo on the
doors also reminds us you can put your own on this one and make
your business look like it has been around for a century. As you
look over the whole truck, you're going to discover pieces that
could be updated like the paint or the upholstery if you're looking
for a show-ready presentation. But what we like from day one is the
level of vintage charm mixed with the carefree driving ability. So
the overall appeal is all about having a detailed style with a
newer vinyl roof, a bright stone screen for the radiator, and a
full-size spare mounted in the fender. And of course, the full
wooden bed is a great feature. We're told the original steel bed
was eaten away from the juices of hauling pineapples during the day
and even hauling pineapple moonshine at night! So this replacement
adds even more attention because it's 125-year-old African
Mahogany.
The interior feels both basic and authentic. The includes a plush
cloth bench seat, four-spoke steering wheel, tall shifter, and
fold-out windshield that works with the roll-down side windows to
let a nice breeze through the cab. The only real addition you're
going to notice is a water temp readout on the steering column, and
that's the kind of thing you want in a true driver's classic.
Under the hood is the correct-style 201 cubic-inch four-cylinder
engine. It has a clean look where you can see many of the upgrades
that help make this such a solid driver. The true cruiser style
includes better driver-friendly components, like an alternator,
electronic fuel pump, 12-volt system, an Ansen intake, and finned
components for better cooling. It runs with the robust Ford
feeling, and the three-speed manual transmission has the kind of
true mechanical feel to give you proper control over the vintage
motor.
The sale comes complete with the service manuals, car covers, and
Pete's tale. So if you're looking for a true classic with a truly
unique story, you need this Model A pickup. Call today!!!
