Re: The Military Model-A
Thanks for the favorable comments, they are appreciated, and thanks to Joe K for posting the blackout covers, a great idea, my wife is working on them right now, I did know about the double A's, Phaeton, and station Wagon models but not until well after I was into my project, but thanks for posting the great pictures. I'm also a member of the MVPA and can't wait to drive the Model-A on to the parade ground at the Military shows. The tires are 600 X 16, let out a little air to ease into the wheel wells, carry a pump, the doors do open wide, no problem. Thanks again to all, see you on down the road, the good Lord willing and the creek don't rise........Old-duff.

Re: The Military Model-A
Back some twenty or so years ago, I ran into a rusty collection of Mod A s behind Larsen Ford in Lakewood, NJ. In among this collection was one can that really stood out. It had a two piece windshield. I wasn't knowledgible enough to really examine the beast, but it was unique enough to catch my eye. I asked someone what it was and I was told it was a prototype military vehicle. As I recall, It was an open Phaeton type body. It appeared to be in "Original" condition, rusty! As were the rest of the old Fords there.

Re: The Military Model-A
Very, very nice! We're MVPA members as well with a '42 Jeep and '43 HD WLA. I've taken our '30 Town Sedan to a couple WWII events for the Home Front area since there were plenty around during the war years. I had some fun with the local Model A guys at a show last year when I brought our '31 Woodie and wore my HBTs...

Re: The Military Model-A
Very nice detailing, love the campaign hat, early helmet, and early carbine on the cab rack - suggests the truck is prewar, probably just before Pearl Harbor, or very early wartime. You should put together it's theoretical story, timeframe, where it served, etc., make a neat poster to display with it. Very cool to see an early war vehicle, now you need a slat grill MA Jeep to go with it...

Re: The Military Model-A
I LOVE your truck !
There were, probably, very few "A"s in Military Service, by war time. They would, all, have been at least ten years old by 1941, and pretty well used up. I don't think that the govt. bought any used vehicles. You do have to get rid of that red plastic coated wire on your coil, though. Thanks for posting ! MIKE  (mikeburch)

Re: The Military Model-A
I have got the Army Uniform from 1928 - full complement of everything. What I don't have is a 1929 Army Truck ! Congratulations, as a historical researcher, I must say you have done an excellent job of 'inventing' a 'what would have been' Army vehicle.

Re: The Military Model-A
It's nice to see something different done with a Model A yet somehow looks so correct.
Great job. Love it..... |
