1928 FORD MODEL A ROADSTER PICKUP TRUCK Engine No. A303253 Red with black fenders and yellow wire wheels Engine: in-line, four cylinder L-head, 200.5ci, 40bhp at 2,200rpm; Gearbox: three speed manual; Suspension: front, solid axle, transverse leaf spring, rear, solid axle, transverse leaf; Brakes: four wheel drum. Left hand drive. Probably no event in the pre-war automotive world was more awaited than the introduction of the Model A Ford in 1927. When the Model T dwindled down from being the best selling car on earth to a precious few sales, there were those who thought Henry Ford had 'lost it' - that time had passed him by. His son Edsel is given credit for suggesting that Henry replace the Model T with something more modern. Edsel was initially snubbed for his efforts, but eventually Henry came around and the Model A Ford was introduced in 1927 as a 1928 model. The Model A had a high body with a flat vertical windshield, but was more attractive than the antique looking T. It was an extremely simple car, and much easier to drive than its predecessor. The engine was an in-line L-head four with a three bearing crankshaft made of carbon manganese steel displacing 200.5ci. It had a lot of other desirable features too, including three forward speeds, cable operated four wheel brakes, Houdaille double acting shock absorbers, welded wire wheels and worm and peg steering. The price was $500 for the basic Model A Tudor and the color choices were grey, green or black. Among the options were a variety of models from a two door roadster to a coupe, to a four door sedan (spelled by Ford Fordor ), to a pickup truck offered in both a fixed head or in roadster configuration. The Model A Roadster Pickup Truck from the Brown Estate is attractively finished with distinctive red and black fire department livery. The paint and brightwork is in good presentable condition on this car, however the Model A has not been run in some time. The door latches were removed and need to be refitted. The combination of the 200 cubic inch motor, light and neatly styled body, and attractive yellow wire wheels with whitewall tires are sure to make this little sporty pickup the best looking truck to the fire everytime. WITHOUT RESERVE
