You call that snow in New York City? Boy, that’s like a normal winter routine on the Old Continent. And nobody closes shops or streets. There are winter tires out there to help your car cope with the slippery road. If not, at least grab this 1930 Ford Model A on stilts that used to deliver mail back in the days.
And we thought the convertible compact crossover is a thing of the modern age. Well, we were wrong, because they invented that long ago, back in the ‘30s. And one is for sale as we speak now (4 days left at the moment of writing).
What you see here is a special, unrestored but very modified 1930 Ford Model A convertible coupe. In 1936 it got modified by Roman Chupp of Bloomfield, Montana for Milton Hill to deliver rural mail around the area.
Mind you, rural roads back then were pretty much made out of uneven dirt and stones occasionally which turned into , which means the standard car couldn’t cope with them and had to replace most of its riding gear.
A Model T truck axle with a higher reduction ration now sits at the back as well as four Goodyear 11-25 x 24 tractor tires mounted on 24-inch tractor rims. It’s big enough now to plough through mud and snow with no problems.
The car still works and is for sale along with a huge history report here. Mind you, the bid is closing in to about $100,000 (€88,400 at current rate).
