Vehicle Description
Take a look at this beautiful Factory Reproduction 1980 Shay Ford
Model A. This is a 1 owner car and has always been housed in a
garage. There are are new tires and tubes and this car is in
excellent condition. In 1978 Harry J Shay founded the Model A and
Model T Motor Car Reproduction Corporation. In November of 1980 the
name changed to Shay Motors. The original name embodied the initial
goal of the company, to reproduce some of the early model Fords for
acquisition in modern times. A deal was struck between Ford and
Shay that allowed Shay to reproduce the Model A of the early
1900's. Shay was given the opportunity to recreate a name-plate
while Ford reaped the benefits of publicity, marketing, and hype.
At least one car was to make their way into the Ford dealership
throughout the US with the intent of stimulating sales. The cars
received national attention from TB stations, magazines, journals
and other publications. Produced in limited numbers and sold
through Ford dealerships, the vehicles were backed by a Ford Motor
Company warranty. Ford provided the platform and Shay manufactured
the cars. For more information, please call 802-353-1711.
