"Offered here is a wonderfully presented 1984 Shay Motors Corporation Ford Model A Roadster Pickup, an officially licensed tribute to one of the most iconic vehicles in American automotive history. Built by Shay Motors with Ford's approval, these factory-produced replicas were designed to capture the unmistakable charm and character of the original Model A while delivering the reliability, safety, and drivability of a modern automobile, and a Ford factory powertrain warranty. Shay's dedication to authenticity-combined with updated mechanical systems-created a vehicle that appeals equally to collectors, parade enthusiasts, and drivers looking for vintage style without vintage complications.
This example is finished in classic Black over a Black vinyl interior, offering a timeless presentation that mirrors the Model A's most recognizable appearance. Power comes from a durable 2.3L Ford inline 4-cylinder engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, providing smooth, dependable performance far superior to the original A's primitive powertrain. Modern comfort and safety enhancements include turn signals, seatbelts, AM/FM/Cassette radio, custom Shay Motors instrumentation, tilt steering column, electric windshield wiper, rack-and-pinion steering, and front disc brakes-all features unheard of on a true 1930s Ford but highly appreciated on today's roads.
In keeping with its vintage inspiration, the truck is adorned with numerous period-style details such as wire-spoke wheels with wide whitewall tires, a single side-mounted spare tire with polished cover and rearview mirror, etched wind wings, and the celebrated quail radiator mascot. Additional features include a complete 6-piece side curtain set with door irons, running board step plates, decorative bed rails lettered ""Froesel Tire Service,"" a handsome wood bed floor, and a removable convertible top for open-air motoring.
This special Shay Roadster Pickup was originally owned by a local Shay distributor based in Kirkwood, Missouri called Roedel Brothers, Inc. They would retain original possession of this truck until finally passing it on to another local company called Froesel Tire Service in 2012, family owned and operated by since 1937. The history of Froesel Tire and Telle Tire can be found here: https://www.telletire.com/about/our-story/.
It shows only 6,955 miles on the odometer and its has been driven and exercised only on back roads and private streets over the past several years. Always garage kept and annually serviced for parade use, it remains a faithful vehicle for such purposes. Included with the sale is a photocopy of an original Shay Motors Corporation brochure from Roedel Brothers highlighting the newly designed 1955 Ford Thunderbird also produced by Shay, showing a picture of Harry Shay standing with his Shay Model A Roadster reproduction. These convertible pickups rarely appear on the market today, so one should act quickly if they have been searching for a good one!
