Vehicle Description
1928 Ford Model A Pickup - 200ci 4 Cylinder - 3 Speed Manual
Transmission - 2663 Miles Shown TMU - Green and Black Exterior -
Brown Interior There is something visceral about driving a vintage
truck, especially one that is nearly 100 years old. Sitting behind
the wheel of this old Ford really takes you back to simpler times.
You are very involved in the driving of these vehicles as there are
no modern conveniences, such as power steering or power brakes and
you must double clutch when you shift as the transmission is not
synchronized. You also have to use hand signals when you turn or
are about to come to a stop as there were no turn signals typical
of most cars at this period. In some ways it is closer to a tractor
than a car, especially how we know them today, but that's ok. It's
a great place to be behind the wheel of this old Ford truck, you
are not in a hurry to get anywhere with a top speed around 45 mph
and as you drive the hustle and bustle of this modern world begins
to melt away. There are no ports for your cell phone, no radio to
distract you, and people wave at you with big smiles on their
faces. In our opinion, it really is the closest thing to time
travel you're going to ever experience as it transfers you back to
simpler times. This truck was treated to an older restoration and
painted green with black fenders. The paint has been well
maintained and shines with a deep luster with the only flaws being
some slight swirl marks in the paint finish. The truck bed was
restored with finished oak planks and polished stainless steel bed
strips and oak sideboards. The roof vinyl is in great shape and
well restored. The bumpers are still brilliant with shine and the
related stainless is only showing some light patina. It should also
be noted one of the headlights is out and this truck has not been
converted to modern turn signals. Inside the cab has been
accurately restored and the tan interior and upholstery shows
little if any wear. There are no options, but a vintage/period
correct oil pressure gauge has been added. Under the hood, the 200
CID 4 cylinder is presented as originally produced and has been
well maintained with a recent tune-up. Power is transferred through
a non-synchronized 3 speed manual transmission to the stock rear
differential. The chassis was fully restored some time ago and now
shows some light patina but otherwise functions as designed with
manual lever brakes and rolling on 16-inch metal wire wheels with
era-correct 4 ply vintage tires. This truck would be great to car
to just tool around town in, maybe run a few errands stopping at
the hardware or the general store, er, we mean grocery store or
even for ice cream runs with the little ones! It also would make a
great promotional tool for a small business such as a farm stand or
garden center or someone in the trades looking to promote a vintage
vibe to their operation. Please call if interested or e-mail with
specific questions. Thanks for looking!
