History School me on Model A's

Hi guys,
I stole this cool pic below from another site..
I'm not a Model A expert, but, is it my eye sight or the angle of the picture, do the two coupes on the front of the trailer have different door/window lengths??
Everything else on them looks the same..
If so why or what were their models??
Just call me curious, thanks in advance..

 

Just the angle of the photo. I’ve noticed that sort of thing in photos of them before as well

 

Looks like one might have been a medium and the other a large.

 

No, 1930 Model A coupe doors are the same. Other models like the Tudor and Fordor sedan doors are different sizes. Great photo showing how Model A's were shipped without a spare tire, wheel only. That's why the Judging Standards allow a different brand tire for the spare with no point deduction. Great photo, where can I get a copy?

 

The front two Model A's appear to be 1930 coupes, the third looks like a AA pickup without a bed and the rorty appears to be a tudor sedan. HRP

 

Optical illusion!

 

The AA Truck pulling trailer ,
4 cylinder gas engine ?
Notice on trailer ,No tire but Spare wheel.

 

Both the tractor hauling them and the truck being hauled have 30 AA shells so Id say 1930 is the year. I think the angle of the photo distorted the door lengths

 

@19Eddy30 Yes AA truck is 4 cylinder, all A's use the same engines.

 

That's what I thought ,I was not for sure must have a healthy granny gear

 

I'm on the email list of a site called "The Old Motor" they send out weekly emails with a lot of old/very old, photos, and car information..
I just copied the pic off the site for a screensaver..
I've included their email address below. hope it works for anyone interested..

Above the front coupe, is that someone’s feet i see in the window?

 

Anybody know why they didn’t come with a spare tire? Reminds me of back in the day when trucks didn’t necessarily come with a rear bumper.

 

I only see a child’s face in the front coupe passenger window when I expand the photo……..

 

So what’s up with the rear side window on the second coupe? More camera angle illusion?

 

All of 40 hp pulling all that, hate to get stuck behind that on the way into work one day.

 

........or Optical Confusion!

 

Just remember Life, in general, moved a lot slower back then!

 

Interested. I sure hope the trailer didn't get a flat since it only has a rim with no tire either.

 

@inthweedz. Check out "Vintage Ford Forums" and ask this question there. There are alot more Model A experts there than on here or the Ford Barn.

 

It's mind boggling what some companies used that little 4 cylinder motor for. I have seen Model A tanker trucks all sorts of moving vans, fire engines and believe it or not trains. The Yosemite Valley Railroad had Model A engines in some of their smaller locomotives. Admiral Byrd built a snow vehicle from a 1928 Model A roadster pickup to use in his 1928 Antartica Exploration. By all accounts the snow vehicle is still buried under ton's of ice and snow.

 

And, the motor will probably fire up when they dig,or melt, it out.

 

Don’t the wheels on the truck and the wheels on the trailer seem too modern?

They might have been made by Boyd’s grandfather.
Seriously, they are factory installed wheels made for Ford by Budd.

 

Back in '66, when I was stationed in Germany, my buddy and I took a 3 week, 5,000 mile leave in my MG Midget. In Spain the trucks moved so slow in the mountains that the drivers stood on the running boards and on one occasion I remember them walking beside their trucks. The one nice thing they had was a green light on the left rear of their trailers to indicate when it was safe to pass.
