29 Model A Woody

I just joined this site last week due to it's high member volume in the 1940-1960 forums. I'm in the process of buying a 1953 F-100 and wanted to join a site that would give a some insight of what kind of project I'm getting into. And so far the response to my one thread has been great. So I think I will be sticking around for a while. As a change of pace, after reading thread after thread in that particular forum I thought I would post a few pics of my girlfriends 1929 Ford Model A Woody. I know it's not considered a truck but maybe you guys can look at it as the first SUV. I know most of the parts are interchangeable so maybe you guys can look past the fact it's not really a truck. Any way on with the pictures.

Thanks for the complements. I'ts been in her family all her life. It's a ride, where every nick, scratch, and dent has a story behind it. So she dosn't have any plans to restore or modify it in anyway. If it breaks we will fix it but other then that, no one touches it.

But we will have to do the front brakes shoes soon. That will be fun!!!

Fat Diesel, your Dad's woody looks great. You don't see to many of these restored. It's usually the 40s-50s models that poeple invest in. I see your in CA, do you know if he has anyplans to bring it down to the Wavecrest, woodies only show?

It wouldn't surprise me. I think he's gonna start at Woodies on the Wharf in Santa Cruz in June. He's pretty busy right now rebuilding his 99 year old Model T engine for the '10 T. He's organizing a tour for the National Horseless Carriage Club in Las Vegas later this month and has to get his T up an driving again. He has made huge strides lately in the Woody though.

I'm 37 and can remember being about 4 years old jumping up and down on an old rusty piece of metal in the back yard when Dad came out yelling at me to get off his car... I stared for a second then burst out laughing. That was no car, but it was the frame!

I think they made about 2000 of them and most are gone since they really were "station wagons" and got used up and the wood rotted away.

I'll post some pics when he gets it all done.
