1929 Ford Model AA

The Ford Model AA truck has a fascinating history as America’s workhorse during the late 1920s and early 1930s!

Ford introduced the Model AA in December 1927 as the commercial companion to their popular Model A passenger car, replacing the aging Model TT truck. Production ran through February 1932, making it a relatively short-lived but important vehicle in Ford’s lineup.

These trucks were true heavy-duty workhorses, built with longer wheelbases (131.5” standard, with 157” and 112” options later) and stronger frames than their passenger car counterparts. During the five-year production run, Ford built approximately 482,850 trucks, including various Model AA configurations.

The Model AA came in many commercial body styles - from pickups and panel deliveries to dump trucks, coal haulers, and garbage trucks. They were the backbone of American commerce during a pivotal time, serving farms, factories, delivery companies, and municipalities throughout the country.

Your 1929 model falls right in the middle of the production run, during a period when Ford was making mechanical improvements and body updates. These trucks were powered by the same dependable 4-cylinder engine as the Model A car, but with gearing and chassis components optimized for heavy-duty work.

The Model AA was eventually replaced by the Model BB in 1932, but today they’re prized by collectors for their rugged simplicity and historical significance - especially unique examples like your “North Pole Stables” Santa truck!
