Original? Yeah, right.

Rebuilt but original? Give me a break. How can something be restored to original if Ford never made it? It's not original PERIOD! This is someone's conversion, using a Model A Tudor sedan with the rear seat section of the body removed. The roof and rear end have been moved up the frame, and the pickup bed installed. The cylinder head is off a Model C, and where's the generator? All I see is a 1970's alternator. No Model A ever had those paint colors, and no Model A had carpeting. Model A's used mohair, not broadcloth for seats, door panels and headining. The dash cluster is also incorrect. If this "truck" was ever shown in anything but the modified class at a Model A Ford Club of America car show, it would be laughed at.


What some peoples conception of what original means today, is totally ridiculous.

LOL I wasn't either, but as a car show judge, I know the difference.

It's well done, but it ain't original.

Ya very good eye, might as well slap in a 302 or SBC.

They don't sell "A" motors anymore might as well not waste'em
