The mail truck is a work of art. I see how spotless it is then I go out to the shop and realize how hopeless my model A is...LOL I think that it was very fitting to release this on Memorial Day weekend. Thanks Paul and Bob!!
The Mail Truck is a one of a kind, in my book. I love seeing it out and driving around. Thanks for sharing and I hope you, Model T and Bob have a wonderful weekend and Memorial Day.
Yup, you want to drive them, but the fear factor is pretty high. It's just So Rare! Crash a Prius? No issue, get another. But a Model A Mail Truck? We would All be crying! Good stuff, Paul. Thanks for the ride.
What a great looking vehicle; I like how the widened the cab and have those extra windows sort of at an intersecting angle to the main body - would be easier to see mail boxes and numbers that way.
Nice Video Paul. The truck is awesome. You and your Dad make a great pair. I enjoy the videos of you driving around town. Maybe one day we will once again cross paths in town. Take care. S5
Gotta bring this baby over to Railtown for a photo shoot with the Steam locomotive sometime! Back in the early days, the Butterfields would bring the mail and parcels up to the Sierra Railway's Jamestown Depot from Main Street in an old horse drawn Railway Express wagon. The horse's name was "Dan", and driver Charles Butterfield said that ".....when Old Dan gives out, I'm retiring." The Butterfields stopped delivering the mail to the depot in the early 30's, when trucks came on the scene, I imagine something like this truck would have taken over. Really cool to see this piece of history fully restored and operating. Well Done, gentlemen!
Love this! Your Dad is a hoot! Cherish him! June 1st will be four years since God called my dad home. Though not a Model A owner, I love your videos! I am however a FoMoCo certified tech for 35 going on 36 years. God Bless you and your family! Looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
Hello, like the other fellow followers expressed, a big thanks for the ride. That vehicle is really vintage. Awesome, can perfectly understand that its not to be driven on a daily nor weekly basis, I would not have done it. Really nice. Thanks for the todays UA-cam 🤗
If that is the same Model A Mail Truck that once was part of the Towe collection, I remember it well and it was one of my favorite vehicles in the museum. Over the 17 years that I was there, I don't recall it ever been taken out of the building or even started. It sure looks a lot better now than what I remember. A very nice video of an authentic Model A Mail Truck that once played small but important part in FOMOCO's history.
Not the same truck. If you look at my previous videos, you will find the one I did on that mail truck at the Towe Museum (now the California Auto Museum)
@@ModelA Yes Paul, I did see the prior mail truck video and made the erroneous assumption that the trucks are one in the same in large part because I know that the trucks are exceedingly rare. Thank you for the clarification and I enjoy your channel.
Great event Paul, every P.O. out there would love to see you...Now for the tour. Waiting in great anticipation on updates on the Bertz engines 👋🤠 have a great wknd
Great adventure for the mail truck and the reception at the P.O.. I took my 28 toudor to the local Ford dealership to have the frame checked for straightness. The staff loved it! The service manager took photos for the dealership newsletter and the technician didn't even charge me because he so enjoyed working on it. The funny part was inputting the car into the computerized sign in process. The pull down menus did not have Model A or 1928 or the ability to input a 6 digit serial number. They finally figured out a way to lie to the software so the vehicle could be put into the system. I never had so much fun at a dealership
Ha haa! Well done Todd! I drove my 31 Turdor into a Ford dealership for warranty service once (did a short video on it). The reception I got was hilarious also. But, I didn't keep recording because the language (theirs, not mine) wasn't fit for all audiences. Unfortunate.
What a joy.! Thank you for sharing not only your cars but your passion for a fantastic hobby thats shared with so many others.Love Bob,he's truly a treasure.I fully respect the time you take on your channel.All the best,be safe and God bless this USA. THX
Grits in California?! Boy ya'll know how ta live! Love the mail truck. It's no wonder it draws attention where ever it goes, it's so rare and BEAUTIFUL! Biskets and gravy anyone?
@@ModelA I had one that I picked up in germany when I was in the service I had it in a poster tube for years it took me 3 trips to get moved out here before the second trip I just got frustrated and it ended up in a load going to the dump. When I got out here I was watching antique roadshow and there that dam poster and they valued it at 10 thousand bucks I couldn't believe it.
@@ModelA I guess it's all about the man's name in the lower right corner that's brings the value, so take good care of the poster I do know of another in the dump out in Milton
Fabulous Truck Paul, what a Beauty ! My wife likes the AA's but I want a Coupe or Sport Coupe. One day, not too far away, I hope, finances allowing, cos I want a nearly sorted one just to finish off and keep going for another lot of years. I'm in Southern England and hope I can find a good one when the time comes. All your Videos are so helpful and much appreciated. P.S. Just received my 'I am the Warranty' t-shirt thanks !
A pristine vehicle is a mixed blessing. People’s comments are great but I’m completely paranoid while driving it, so it sits way too much. Sometimes I almost wish I had one that ran reliably, but wasn’t quite as nice cosmetically so that I could enjoy driving it more. I guess Paul and Bob have it all figured out - just have multiple vehicles of all persuasions so that you can drive the one best suited to your activity that day!
I saw them too. I figured it was either something with the camera or me having a mini stroke. Since you saw them too I'll go ahead and guess it was the former lol.
@@lelandrogers1078 Rural Free Delivery began in 1896, and it would have been possible to use this Mail Truck for Rural deliveries, as many Model T and A Fords were used for that, delivering mail out in the country.
My Father’s first vehicle when I was a baby 70 years ago was a Model A mail truck he purchased from a postal auction at the post office he worked at in Waukegan, Il. I have pictures of me standing in the drivers seat. They also drove it from Waukegan to West Virginia and back about 1953 or so. I remember my Mom saying he paid $50 for it.
When we drive our Model A vehicles or flathead v8 vehicles i always top off with some fresh chevron non ethanol premium i first add stabil fuel treat and marvel mystery oil Top off and once home I have premix same additives in 5 gallon can top off at home keeps Tank full no room for moisture ... great video 😊 thanks
Paul, that's one sweet ride. When I saw the title I thought you'd been pulled over by the local Gendarme. I admit to stopping classic cars just to get a good look at it and talk it over with the driver. I would think a Mail Truck would have lower gear Diff to allow it to carry hundreds of pounds of Mail. Methinks someone swapped it out along the way. Either way, it's a beaut. Stay safe, stay cool. Et
Thanks to the all of the Shinns for the work in the Model A mail truck project and in making this video. The Model A mail truck reminds me of the little red mail van on Rev. Awdry’s Island Of Sodor from the Thomas The Tank Engine stories.
The mail truck sounds great! Put my headphones on and watch the video twice. Thanks for sharing the video. Post a notice, if you and the cars will attend any shows. Us fans, would enjoy the opportunity to meet and greet.
Thank you for doing this, just to let you know I would love a copy of the picture you took even if it was on a t- shirt. I've been a rural mail carrier for 25 years and you got me hooked on a's. I currently have a 28 tudor and love every minute I work on it. Maybe you can sell some prints in your store? Thanks again Jay
You could try a few and see what happens, I also think shirts with the different types of a's on them would be cool also. It's very hard to find that kind of stuff.lukily I have a customer on my route that does screen printing, and he took a picture of my car and embroidered it onto a hat.
I've been waiting all morning for the next episode..........................for an update on Gandalf!!! :-( But the mail truck is an amazing Model A and sounds great!
@@ModelA Well what? Well, funny you should ask, I'm retiring this fall? Well, there's no chance of retiring in the next 10 years because of my bad habit? (Model A's) Should we start a Go Fund Me page? LOL
In 2021, I attended the Albert City Threshermens and Collectors show, in Iowa. On display was a Model A with extremely high, thin wheels. I thought it was someone's attempt at modifications, so I didn't take pictures. It turns out the wheels were attached specifically for enable the car to run in the very deep snow of northern Michigan to deliver the mail! Not sure who had it on display. If you are curious, I can question some of the exposition management to see if they have any records....... It was an odd looking machine, for sure....!!
It would have been a nice touch to load a few mail bags at the post office like you were starting your deliveries. Dad needs a 1930 US post office delivery uniform.
Always a pleasure to see the Mail Truck. I had opportunity to own a Model A Panel Truck, but we could not figure a way to get me enough leg room. Also lusted after a Roadster Pickup, but same problem. Finally ended up with '31 Slant Window Fordor with adjustable seat.
I'm in the same boat Jeffrey. I'm afraid I won't easily fit into anything but the Tudor or the Fordor. Still looking for a new home first before I buy my first Model A. until then I have Paul's videos :)
Loved this video. Awesome. Paul. I wish I had the cash I've seen 2 model a good humor trucks. The one is full functioning with the freezer. But 75k a lot of coin. The other one is 100 plus k.
Question! Do you like me get excited when watching reruns of "The Waltons! Jon Boy had a Model A and his dad had a Ford pickup! Was the pickup truck a later model T?🤷♂️
@@ModelA Watch Wes Work. He fixes modern rubbish, poor soul. All that computer crap and hoses and wires running everywhere. Rather him than me. When I have a 'modern' car fail I junk it and get something else...

You are a natural in front of the camera, Paul. This is an unusual attribute, even in this modern era, everyone having a camera and all. What´s with the blurred-out rectangle? What are you trying to hide, _including nothing at all?_ Coon-_tash,_ by the way. This was an Italian expression of its day, meaning _Wow!_ or the like.
Your too young to retire, biggest problem I see with retiring early is the insurance or the lack of. Wish I had started much earlier saving for retirement, you can never have too much money for retirement. Thanks for the video.
My father drove a Model A snowmobile conversion car on his 44 mile rural mail route during the winter. I have a picture of him driving it, and another of me driving it as a 13 yr old learning to drive - after he cut the roof off.

Hey you introduced the mail folk to their new Green mail truck! How ecologically sound! YESSIR it's GREEN!!!!
Hahhaaa!!
What a great looking vehicle; I like how the widened the cab and have those extra windows sort of at an intersecting angle to the main body - would be easier to see mail boxes and numbers that way.
Good point
Great episode, such a beautiful truck. I’m guessing the spare tire is on the right fender to be out of the driver’s way getting in and out all day.

And I already asked the owner if he would let you film his car if you are interested. What email can I use to send you the photos.
@@willw456 I still have the same email, but I get HUNDREDS of emails every day. I cannot keep up with them. Will keep an eye out for yours, but no promises.
@@ModelA ok. Do you still have my cell #? I only have your old work #. Its Wade in case you haven't already guessed that.
@@willw456 Nearly the same numbers, just swap the 591 with 470.
