1929 Ford Model A with Woodie Pick Up body
Highlights
- Briggs-bodied A-model with bespoke pick-up bodywork
- Beautiful with a patina representing its age
- Practical period piece in good condition
The appeal
Ford's Model A offered buyers a more durable and practical vehicle with a conventional layout of controls. A wide range of body styles were available, including some supplied by Briggs Manufacturing, particularly known for its leatherback models.
Built in September 1928 and bodied by Briggs, this charming Model A was converted to a pick-up with a 'woodie' style rear body. It's in wonderful condition, solid and very presentable, but with just the right amount of patina to add a warm touch of character to this 95-year-old truck.
Practical and distinctive, it looks ready for work or a quieter life at classic events and outings.
