1929 Ford Model A Pickup

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Hollywood couldn’t write a story more fantastic than the life of Samuel L. Peters. After serving in the U.S. Air Force in the early 1960s, Peters paid his way through college on the earnings he collected hustling pool halls. Peters built more than a dozen companies, was a two-time national handball champion, amateur boxer, minor league baseball player, scratch golfer, and award-winning dancer. He climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, flew hot air balloons, and piloted private jets. His love for everything automotive could been seen across his collection of classic cars and motorcycles, including taking 10th place in the 2013 Peking to Paris Car Rally. Hagerty Marketplace is proud to present the Samuel L. Peters collection of vehicles, ready to be cherished by their next caretakers, and offered entirely without reserve.

The Ford Model A emerged during a pivotal point in American history, bridging the optimism of the late 1920s with the hardships of the Great Depression. Introduced as part of the Model A line that replaced the venerable Model T in 1927, the pickup reflected Ford’s push toward modernization, comfort, and reliability.

Powered by a 201ci four‑cylinder engine producing about 40 horsepower, the Model A's sturdy steel body, improved braking system, and three‑speed manual transmission made it a practical choice for farmers, tradesmen, and small businesses. Perhaps most notably, the Model A was the first Ford to feature the conventional three-pedal arrangement common in manual transmission vehicles nearly a century on.

This 1929 Model A Pickup has been refinished in green paint with a black cab and fenders, yellow-painted wire wheels, and a wood-plank bed. The truck has a black interior with imitation leather (vinyl) upholstery. Features include an expandable luggage rack on passenger side running board, a MotorMeter radiator thermometer, an oval instrument cluster with tape-measure speedometer and amp gauge, a single bench seat, and leather covering on the steering wheel.

This 1929 Ford Model A Pickup is represented by a Broad Arrow Specialist and is now offered at no reserve with a wood framed roll-top bed cover and a clean Ohio title in the seller's name describing it as a 1930 model.
