Car Show - 1929 Model AA 1 1/2 Ton

I usually hang out in the 48' -56 Truck site but wanted to share a truck that I saw at a local car show today. I fell in love with this old beast. I'm not a patina or modify kind of guy but loved the finish on this truck. Didn't get a chance to talk to the owner but may try to contact him at a later time. Hope you enjoy!

Nice truck Dave. It will look good in your fleet. Soon you will be able to put your truck into the shows.

That's a really nice one. I love the way they preserved the wood grain sides. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Sorry Rick, no 4-sale sign on it As far as being a participant in a show......I'm not much one for sitting around in a lawn chair I like to keep moving for the most part. Maybe that will change when I retire in a couple of years

No offense to model A guys but rows and rows of them correctly and perfectly restored would put me to sleep. "This one has the wrong valve stem caps and this one has the coil from a different year" etc, etc..... Yawn. This AA truck has character and shows it's battle scars and has a history.. One that we can still see. Bravo to this AA guy. I have had three AAs and they very dear to my heart. But too slow, as I love to rage around the island at 40 mph

I totally agree with you about the Truck GB. Attended my Nieces wedding a Roche Harbor a few years back. Absolutely love the NW. Sister lives in Marysville. Firefighter friend lives in Bellingham. Cousin lives in Port Orchard. Heck maybe I should retire there in a couple of years!!

hope my link works

9500 bucks gets you an original 28 AA tow truck

1928 Model AA Truck | classic cars | Kingston | Kijiji

kingston ontario so the price is likely in canadian funds - and consider the exchange on the dollar to be saved if you're from the U S

ie ... SCORE !!

(no it's not mine - just an add I found last weekend)

Looks like they could at least roll it outside for decent pictures at 9500.
