01

Artifact Overview

Ford's Model A pickup was based on its Model A car. It used the same four-cylinder, 40-horsepower engine. For 1931, Ford's pickups had a new bed design to accommodate larger loads. The company also added a DeLuxe pickup to its lineup, with a bed that better matched the cab's body lines. Ford trucks were available in 38 colors that year.
