Not A Toy: 1925 Ford Panel Delivery Truck

right-front-hood

This little truck really is, well, a real delivery panel truck. Standard Motor Truck Company built 30 of these for a newspaper publisher in Detroit. This one is listed on eBay in Cross Plains, Indiana with a buy it now of $15,000 and an opening bid of $12,000. It’s an older restoration and was stored from 1968 until recently. It runs and drives but will need a little restoration. It appears complete and original.

There’s not a lot of room inside, especially with the gas tank in the way. The gas tank was originally in the cowl and fed the engine by gravity.

The Model T had no electrical system originally, but but in 1919 a generator, starter and electric headlights were added.

This little truck must have been stored well. The paint and body work appear to be in great shape. There is a little restoration work to be done, but this little truck looks ready to go for whatever use. The new owner will have a unique vehicle that many folks will think is a toy. This little truck could be used for marketing or perhaps it will join a collection. It would be fun to have this little truck for an occasional drive, car shows or to haul a few things to automotive swap meets? What would you do with this?

    Newspapers are heavy. How could this little thing carry much weight? Guess that’s why they only built 30.

    Love the drivers seat!!! Definitely of the period.
    Would’ve liked to see with the original wood delivery body w/ signage.

    The gas tank would have been under the seat, filling it by lifting up the seat cushion to get to the tank.
