Rare model A body styles......

we speak of 68cs, A400s, A 180s, town cars,



my question is, how many model A mail trucks are out there?
there are some rare deliveries as well. Any other body styles you can think of that arent generally addressed?
were there any race cars? Milk trucks, etc etc.
 
A lot of Postal Trucks survived as they were kept in service by the USPS up into the 50's and 60's so they were kept in good shape (for the most part) as opposed to a lot of the other bodystyles that were left out to rot in pastures or beat up in private ownership.

Standrives are fairly rare but there are still a dozen or so out there.

It is when you get into the AA's that you start to see very low numbers of survivors since some of those vehicles only had 50 or 60 examples produced.
 
The 66-A Deluxe pickup produced 293 units. Of those 27 are known to still exist today and about 13 of those are running.
 
I have a 1928 79-A Panel Truck. Does anyone know the production numbers on these?

Similar in rarity to the Australian fabric covered Fordor, one body style that isn't generally addressed and which is probably the rarest of all Model A bodies is the German made 1931 Ford Model A with a body made by Drauz (of Heilbronn, Germany). Only a small handful were ever made in 1931 and only two survive today:

I sure would like to have one of those deluxe pickups, with the side rails. (I see them stenciled with GE, and an old Fridgedair in the back some times.
 
Brad, was there not a Glazer body made in Germany? I seem to recollect a couple of yrs back one selling. Maybe it wasnt an A?


That is an interesting car. somewhat elegant, but not 100% toward the back, for my taste.
 
If they aren’t listed as a Ford production model….
Why would one think they are Model A’s?
Not to me anyway..
 
I think the rarest Model A I've seen is the three window Coupe that showed up at the Queen Mary MAFCA meet back in 1976. I heard a while back that it's still somewhere in the LA area.
 
Gary…
There were at least 2 versions of prototypes; never produced as a Ford product as far as I know!
Those would be super cool cars!
