Leif in Calif Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Interesting for sure! Another ad by a non-car owner. More pictures in the link below https://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/cto/d/torrance-ford-model-pie-wagon-delivery/7512464234.html This is an original Davis Perfection Bakery delivery truck. It was converted from a horse drawn carriage to a Ford Motor Model T engine. All parts shown are included.This would be a great project for the car lover or an amazing display for a bakery/coffee shop etc.Painted side is a layover piece of plywood - original wood and faded graphics are in tact.This was owned for a decades by a friend and now we have had it for several years at our business. We have to down size and are looking to find a good home for this special piece. email:0e5d8a7989c73e0ab06a7c3af737c30c@sale.craigslist.org 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKerry Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Looks like they pieced stuff together enough so it resembles a vehicle for a sale. My guess about an hour before this pic was taken there was a pile of parts. If they filled my tank with the gas to get to them, I would take it off their hands, but not sure I am a glutton for punishment enough to buy it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Looks like enough good early stuff to be well worth the $3750. The engine is not brass era, but a fair amount of the stuff may be? With a bit of effort, that body may or may not be good enough to refit to the model T chassis and restore to a nice usable model T delivery truck. If it is good enough, it would make a great 1914/'15 delivery (whichever one preferred?) . Most of the oil side and tail lamps are there for a 1914, so that might be the better option? The headlamps I see may not be Ford issue, and I cannot even tell if they are a matched pair or not. Horse drawn delivery wagons were often converted onto model Ts and other car chassis in the era. This has some real potential to become a fine model T! Seeing it makes me wish I still had the 1914 pickup I had years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
