This 1930 Ford Model A Huckster Body Was Built By A Casket Manufacturer And That's Not All!

Noel and Amy were at the 2023 Ford Model A Days event at the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan. When I saw their Huckster I wanted to know more.

Noel Describes how a casket manufacturer built the wood body of this 1930 Ford Model A Huckster, and how a Huckster was generally used. Amy describes what was called Egg Money Quilts as she shows a quilt that was started in the 1930's by her grandmother and many years later, finished by herself.

When I am not making images for my normal (if there is such a thing) bodies of work as a photographer, I make plenty of fun videos for my Model A or other related videos from that time period that you can find on this channel too. Be sure to check them out.

As to gear, I shoot a variety of full frame Nikon cameras and lenses. Most everything is shot on a tripod to produce the sharpest images possible.

My 1930 Ford Town Sedan has eyebrow fenders and still has the original interior. It's certainly worn but it still is functional. I have rebuilt the driveline, suspension, and tie rods, installed a modernized Model A motor with oversized intake valves, insert bearings, and a high compression head. I also have a lightened flywheel and V8 clutch. The car comfortably cruises at 50MPH but I've had it up to 60MPH. I have also insulated and installed sound deadener which has made the car enjoyable to be in even at 90 degrees.
