anybody know about this model a

My buddy bought this thing years ago and seems to think its a factory ford motorhome, tho i doubt they called it that back then. and i cant seem to find any info on it. so please help me out

 

Ford wasn't making any that I am aware of, but he sold many, many chassis to other coach builders. It could also be a catalog conversion or a one off home built. Kinda neat in any case.

 

i had that fealing ive heard theres more around, so i guess my question would be whos the couch builder?

 

not a very good coach builder. it looks a little cobbled.

 

Interesting, it is an early 1928 AA with the 20 inch wire wheels, long running boards and aprons with rear fenders, all factory items. The doors are 28-29 but the windsheild section is unusual, looks a a bit like the Model A Post Office trucks that were built on standard A chassis. Someone put a 1931 radiator shell on it. Only photo that comes close is this bus photo in Ford Trucks Since1905, but it has the stock hight area above the windsheild.

 

I know and the warranty just ran up

 

Looks like a AA panel that has been unpaneled and the new top added. IMHO Some shots from inside would help if you have them.

 

ok heres what i got

 

Henry built this one so he and Thomas Edison and Harry Firestone could go camping. This one is at the Edison summer home in Fla.

 

There actually was a Model A factory camper, though this isn't one. 1931, I think it was 1931 only and called "Traveler's wagon" or something close to that. It was based on the also rare '31 wood bodied delivery, and had water tank, washbasin, and folding bed. It was absurdly rare, production was like 7 or so. A, not AA.
