That is Ezra Meeker in his "Model A Covered Wagon". He was quite a self-promoting pioneer who made an effort to draw attention to preserving what was left of The Oregon Trail.

John,
The picture you posted in post #68 is not of a GAZ truck, it is in fact the first production vehicle, (a AA) to roll off the assembly line at the Dagenham UK plant Oct 1931.
Regards Brian T.

Thanks, Brian. I should have caught the RH drive.

Speaking of motor homes... here's a good rig for Hershey.

Tom Wesenberg · 01-10-2011, 09:03 PM

And here I thought foldouts were something new!

Here are 2 pic's of my Grandfathers 1930 Deluxe Delivery he had for the Family Printing Business. The first one is of my Father at the age of 11 in Jan. 1931 (notice the Tire Chains and the 1931 license plate). The second one is of my aunt and uncle taken in July 1931. I bought one just like it in 1971 and am almost done re-restoring it . It's now done. Here is a new pic

As NEW England prepares for another wintry blast, let's head to OLD England...

A classy "Horse Box" (top):

Can anyone think of another large commercial buyer, other than the Royal Mail, that purchased their "A's" "as Henry intended"... that is, without bumpers? This would be a GREAT rig to reproduce!

Ice cream, anyone?

Biscuits, anyone?

Deluxe Delivery Don: Thanks for sharing. You're so lucky to have those images. I trust you'll be replicating the family paint scheme?

I know a guy here in town with a '31 Deluxe Pickup.

Real nice guy and an amazing and rare pickup.

Anyone have pics of one of those?

Sam

John Butts in CT · 01-11-2011, 06:51 PM

Sam: I only have one period image of a De Luxe pickup. It's not really an "A;" it's a GAZ... and the picture was taken in Moscow in 1933. I've always relished two things about this image: (1) Joe Stalin produced a "De Luxe" model, and (2) Young people everywhere enjoyed having their pictures taken with Model "A's!" Enjoy.

Ever notice how those running boards and fenders still attract a lot of good looking women! How do they do it?

LukeDahlinger · 01-11-2011, 07:30 PM

John,

Here's a GAZ coming off the line...

Random pic from my files....

(1) My running boards still attract attracive women.
(2) Don... good for you! Keep us posted.
(3) Luke... I've deliberately held off on posting GAZ WWII images. Having said that, your GAZ production line image prompts me to post this one:

{4} John This picture is of the very first vehicles rolling off the new Dagenham Ford plant in Essex County England 1932 . They are RHD and have fender lights and the English Ford "dropside" body. This picture is well known in UK and often used by Ford UK in advertising etc etc.
