This particular example, a huckster, was previously owned by the Marie Nordquist family, who own Marie’s Salad Dressing. Hucksters made great farm utility trucks and vehicles for commercial deliveries. The Marie’s Company commissioned Jon Van Lente of Lentville A’s in Holland, Michigan to fully restore this rolling beauty, which was then used for promotional opportunities and trade shows. Dressed in Straw Yellow over black wings and featuring a black rubberized roof, the paint and trim on this vehicle are in the expected excellent condition after restoration. The entire body has kiln-dried select red oakwood as its foundation and the bed frame uses high-quality Douglas fir wood to soak up vibrations. The glass includes safety glass in both side doors and a pop-out windshield and dual sideview mirrors. Common for the period, there are a driver’s side taillight and windshield wiper.The car’s bodywork is straight and solid as you’d expect, the engine bay is extremely tidy, and the cargo area looks fantastic! A full set of side and rear roll-up windows that snap on help complete the look, along with the chrome dual-band front bumper. This classy A rolls on wide whitewall Coker B.F. Goodrich tires, size 4.40-4.50-21. Each one is mounted on a new Ford red wire wheel. The wheels are in excellent condition while the tires are in very good order. There is also a driver’s side-mounted older spare tire with matching wire wheel and factory cover. Under the split hood is a 201 CID L-head four-cylinder engine hooked to a three-speed sliding gear manual transmission. The factory generator has been upgraded to an alternator. Inside, the truck’s saddle bench seat looks superb while there are floor mats covering the wood in the cab. The wooden headliner is gorgeous, and a black, four-spoke steering wheel faces the driver. The wooden inner door liners complement the Straw Yellow metal instrument panel, which is pretty. A floor-mounted shift lever completes the interior.This Model A is one of the prettiest ones we have had here at MotoeXotica Classic Cars.
