1931 Ford Model A Pickup Truck with Columbia Overdrive – “Henry”
Nicknamed “Henry,” this 1931 Ford Model A pickup truck is a true all-steel survivor, pulled from long-term garage storage in Richmond, Virginia, where it sat alongside a 1930 Ford Model A two-door sedan. The previous owner was a well-known enthusiast and expert who maintained and preserved this vehicle meticulously until his passing. It has been tastefully upgraded with a 1940 Ford Columbia overdrive transmission and 1940-era hydraulic “juice” brakes for improved drivability. Additional updates include upgraded headlights, added turn signals, and a working 6V alternator system. Powered by the original-style four-cylinder engine paired with a 3-speed manual transmission, it runs smoothly and is road-ready, comfortably cruising at 40–45 mph with the ability to reach 50–60 mph if needed. The aged paint is original and intact, giving it an authentic vintage patina. Included with the truck are a spare wheel, a storage trunk in the bed, and a front-mounted toolbox—both filled with period-correct accessories and spare items. The bed features two sets of wooden bed sides: the ones shown in the photos, and an alternate three-piece stake pocket setup with beautifully finished wood. Accompanied by an 8-inch-thick folder of historical documentation, manuals, vintage pamphlets, and decades’ worth of receipts, this truck is one of the most well-documented and road-ready examples you’ll find. It even still wears its original WWII-era fuel rationing sticker on the windshield. A detailed walkaround video featuring Model A expert Mr. Fred is available for those curious to learn more about these iconic early-generation pickups—perfect for both seasoned collectors and new enthusiasts alike.
