This is my friend Peter's 1926 Ford Pickup and his 2009 Shelby. That is the proper color for the truck. I drove the 26. What a beast. Has mechanical brakes. Was a real bear to steer and stop by todays standards. Was fun though.

When his grandfather passed away, 1 of the guys I went all the way through school with inherited a '31 Model A pickup. He & his dad restored it and Frank drove it daily the last couple of years we were in high school. We always waited til most of the buses left before departing school. There was 1 hill that the bus we would normally ride slowed to about 10 mph. When the coast was clear, he would sound the ooga horn & go chugging past the bus to the amusement of the kids onboard. Much better transportation than any old school bus.

I think it's a Model A, not a Model T which would make it at least a 1928 model (first year for the Model A). The 1928 Model A truck was my first vehicle bought at age 14 which I learned to drive and repair.

Love the old Fords. I had a 1931 Model A Roadster in the late late 40's and a 1929 Ford Model A Pickup in the late 50's which I paid $30 and $ 40. I didn't like the mechanical brakes though, particularly when driving in Boston
