What’s the history of the Ford Model AA and how many were produced?
The Ford Model AA has a fascinating history! Introduced in 1928 alongside the Model A car, the AA was Ford’s replacement for the aging Model TT truck. Henry Ford began designing both the Model A and Model AA in 1926 as modern successors to the legendary Model T series.
The Model AA was produced for just four years, from 1928 through 1931, but it made quite an impact. While Ford never released separate production figures for the AA truck specifically, we know that total Model A production (including both cars and trucks) reached 4,320,446 units by the time production ended in August 1931. The AA represented a significant upgrade with its stronger frame, 1.5-ton payload capacity, and the same reliable 3.3L inline-four engine that powered the Model A car.
The 1929 Model AA you’re looking at is a great example of these rugged workhorses. With its black exterior, green interior, and manual transmission, it represents the typical configuration of these early commercial vehicles. At $18,000, it’s actually priced below the current market average of about $27,400 for Model AA trucks.
These trucks are quite special today - only 49 Model AA listings currently exist on Classic.com, making them relatively rare compared to their Model A car counterparts. The fact that this one is 90% original and still running makes it an excellent piece of automotive history!
