Vehicle Description
Ford Model A Roaster Pickup - Tribute Mobil Tank Truck. Show, drive
or play with top on or off. Back in the 1920's and 30's as the
automobile became more affordable, thru mas production, the need
for fuel stations became more and more apparent. The fist rural
filling stations were set up at country general stores; perhaps a
Wayne Visible Pump and underground tank in each location. As towns
grew, regular gas stations were built on prominent crossroads and
corners. Perhaps a little Ford truck like this one would have been
set up with a custom 2 comp tank for supplying both kerosene and
gasoline to a specific route. Early petroleum companies were proud
of their name and brand, and would advertise on their fleet of
vehicles. Unfortunately the collectability of these trucks were
seldom projected to the future; thus many ended up in scrap yards
after their years of faithful survive. This 1931 Model A Roadster
Pickup is an authentic original. All steel truck fitted with a
tribute correct Mobil tank body and all the brand signage that
would be appropriate at the time. Completely restored by "Billy's
Big Boys Garage" with loving care and period correct detail. this
truck was mechanically rebuilt as needed, runs and drives very
well. Ideal for parades, museums, private Petroliana collections,
movie sets, ect. Recent paint, chrome, interior and decals make
this little Ford a very interesting part of any fine collection.
Correctly outfitted with all the bells and whistles - including a
mock rubble hose with brass nozzle. Drive or display with top on or
off. *Not intended to haul or dispense any liquid products*
