1929 Ford Model A Leatherback

Everything but the 4.3-liter Chevy V-6 and 350 tranny on this 29 Ford Model A Leatherback is original, right down to the wooden floorboards and chicken wire headliner frame. An interesting period aftermarket add-on is the “Desert Cooler,” a cylinder attached to rear passenger window frame. A wind driven fan in the cylinder would blow air over water or ice placed inside as the car moved down the road. With a charge of dry ice, as the current owner uses, passengers will complain in the dead of summer that they are too cold!
