Description
- Mechanics: Powered by the standard 201 cu in (3. 3L) 4-cylinder flathead engine paired with an authentic 3-speed sliding gear manual transmission. Engine bay is tidy, runs on original Zenith-style carburetion, and starts easily.
- Electrical & Gauges: Retains the period 6-volt electrical layout. Correct oval instrument panel with working ammeter and barrel-type speedometer showing 596 miles since rebuild/ restoration. Modern retrofitted toggle switches and indicator lights added cleanly to the lower dashboard for road compliance.
- Body & Woodwork: High-grade varnished oak craftsmanship throughout the cab, drop-tailgate bed, and canopy structure. The woodwork is solid, tight, and well-sealed, with hand-painted vintage lettering ("Sunny-Side Farm, Bernville, PA") on the cab sides and Ford script on the rear gate.
- Metalwork & Paint: Front clip, hood, and fenders finished in gloss black. Clean stainless steel radiator shell, stoneguard mesh, Quail mascot, bumper bars, and cowl trim.
- Wheels & Underside: 19-inch wire wheels finished in contrasting Tacomyellow with black center caps. Driver-side sidemount spare with matching Ford cover. Chassis and running gear are dry and rust-free.
- Weather Protection: Roll-down weather curtains fitted neatly along the sides and rear of the canopy bed. Includes period-style vintage trunk in the cargo bed.
- The woodwork has been executed to a very high standard—not rough commercial timber, but nicely varnished, detailed oak joints with quality brass and black iron hardware.
- Practical utility: the drop-down tailgate, large wooden bed, and roll-up canvas curtains make it ideal for classic vehicle rallies, vineyard/ orchard estates, advertising, or vintage commercial events.
- Highly reliable and straightforward Model A engineering; parts are universally available and mechanical upkeep is as simple as it gets.
- Classic period stance with the contrasting yellow wire wheels, side-mounted spare tire, front spotlight, and external klaxon horn.
