Reimel Motor Cars is pleased to present this 1930 Ford Model A Closed-Cab Pickup. It is finished in Flax, a cream-yellow, with black fenders, tan-painted wire wheels and a black interior.

THE MODEL A PICKUP

Ford introduced the Model A in late 1927 as the successor to the Model T. It was a big step forward, with a more powerful four-cylinder engine, a conventional 3-speed sliding-gear transmission, four-wheel mechanical brakes and a safety-glass windshield. Ford built nearly five million Model As from 1927 to 1931. The pickup versions were the hard-working members of the family, used on farms and by small businesses across the country. Today they are some of the most usable and best-supported pre-war vehicles in the hobby, with a strong club network and excellent parts availability.

EXTERIOR

The body is painted in Flax (the service file references Martin Senour touch-up paint 90T-5620) with contrasting black fenders, running boards and splash aprons. Bright details include the radiator shell, Motometer-style radiator cap, headlight buckets, cowl lamps, front bumper and dual outside mirrors. The wire wheels are painted tan to match the body and were refinished in 2017. The pickup bed has wood side boards and a wood floor with steel skid strips.

INTERIOR

The closed cab has a black bench seat with matching black door panels, a black steering wheel and a Model A-style instrument panel. Later additions include seat belts, a dash lamp, a firewall insulator pad, turn signals and a battery disconnect switch.

DRIVETRAIN AND CHASSIS

Power comes from Ford's 201 ci (3.3L) L-head inline-four, rated at 40 hp at 2,200 rpm. It is paired with a 3-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. The chassis uses transverse leaf springs front and rear with Houdaille-type hydraulic shocks and four-wheel mechanical drum brakes. The electrical system is 6-volt.

The truck comes with detailed work orders from Coastal Classic & Sportscar in Brunswick, Maine, dated from November 2011 to May 2020. Together they document more than $29,000 of work. Highlights include:
