The 71,000-square-foot museum in Hershey, Pennsylvania, opened on 26 June 2003 and since then has displayed vintage automobiles in a truly unique way. Visitors walk through eight decades in time while traveling from New York to San Francisco with iconic settings revealing vehicles from generations of American motoring. The AACA Museum at Hershey ranks among the top automotive museums in the world and has been recognized by the Smithsonian as an Affiliate Museum.

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE
The Ford Model A marked the Detroit automaker’s leap beyond the Model T with the interlocution of a modern chassis, hydraulic shocks, and a far smoother driving experience for the era.
The 1929 Model A Roadster Pickup featured an upright radiator shell, narrow fenders, spoked wheels, a fold-down windshield, and a wood bed. The truck’s engineering was simple yet durable, built for reliability on the unpaved roads of its day. Its 200.5ci inline-four engine was mated to a three-speed manual transmission.
The Model A Roadster Pickup's defining feature was its removable weather equipment, which consisted of a fabric top with support bows, side curtains, and rear curtains with assemblies. Owners often removed all of these items during good weather, essentially turning the truck into a small open utility vehicle.
This example is finished in dark green with black fenders and running boards, a black fabric top, red-painted spoked steel wheels, and brown artificial leather upholstery. Additional features include fog lamps, a custom-built wooden and removable cab guard, mechanical drum brakes on all four wheels, and a utilitarian interior with a tape-measure speedometer and amp gauge.
This 1929 Ford Model A Roadster Pickup is represented by a Broad Arrow Specialist and is now offered at no reserve with a clean Pennsylvania title.
