- I met Jerry at The 2023 Old Car Festival and he described how he built this car from the ground up in just 18 moths. This beautiful 1930 Ford Model A wood body Huckster style commercial truck was built by this cabinet maker from white oak and he drives it several times a year. Sometimes called a woody, he gets into the details as to what makes this such a unique build.
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.
You can see more about me and my photography at my website here www.kensmithga...

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.

Just stumbled on this channel a few days ago. found some great videos. I love old cars but do not have the financial means to own one so I enjoy watching others enjoy theirs.
Welcome to the channel! Glad you are enjoying the videos!
Loved this one, Ken! This is one beautiful truck!
It is amazing to see in person!
Another very enjoyable video, Ken, thanks. I, too, am inspired by the wood body. I have a 1933 International truck that is a hood and cowl, the rest of the body needs to be built.... by me, I guess. I like wood and woodworking, even have a sawmill, so wood would be the natural choice. Plus , building my own body will give me a lot of freedom as to what I build.
I have several other versions of these types of builds that I did interviews with that will post over the next 2 months, so get ready for some inspiration!
That is a beautiful work of art
It truly is!
This is definitely inspirational, I've always liked the design of the 20s & 30s trucks but being 6'8" tall it wasn't practical for the standard size cab. So I've been toying with the idea of building my own and making it fit my height. Thanks Ken! God bless
Thanks and God bless you too!
Nice cars from lovely time period, great videos, thank you Ken!
I subscribe and wish growth for you channel!
Thanks for the subscribing! Glad you enjoyed it!
Me would've made one of those wood station wagons out of a cowl chassis truck or car Save a bundle building my own They have the National Woodie Club I don't have a old car or truck But those wagons from the old days are nice I like all old cars and trucks.....
If I had the room for another, I would build one too!
