In the late 1940's my cousin gave my brother and I a pile of parts that sort of made up a 1929 Model A pickup. It sat around my Dad's place for a few years so in the early 1950's I decided to make something out of it. So I put it together and "modified" it a bit-see below:
The 50's "rod" sat around for many years and deteriated a bit but remained in my barn until 2008. At that time I decided to either get rid of the "junk" in my barn or do something with. Being it had been in the family for a few years, I decided maybe I should do something with it. So I started with what is shown below:
Then after trying to figure out what to do with the pile of "junk", being the body was shot and a few other things were missing, I dicided I would get another body for it and pick up a few other needed things. So in early 2010 this is what it ended up to be:
So in the summer of 2010, our family had it's annual picnic. So I took the old 1929 Model A (now a huckster) up to the picnic because my old 90 some year old cousin (who use to drive the old pickup in the late 1930's) was going to be there. So he did enjoy the "new" rig. See below:
So there you have it-the old Model A has been in the family since the early 1930's and guess it should stay here a little longer.
So I couldn't have the old pickup feel like it owned the place, I then had to get the 1929 Model A coupe. So that is the story of this old guy's Model A's.
