1980 Ford Shay Model A

Designed and built to celebrate the Golden Anniversary of Ford’s historic Model A, the Shay Model A was the brainchild of former Detroit GM engineer Harry J. Shay. Featuring a fiberglass main body and steel hood with authentic original Model A details, the Shay Model A featured modern and economical Ford Pinto running gear including a 2.3-liter engine, automatic transmission, and independent front suspension with front disc/rear drum hydraulic brakes. High demand drew enthusiastic magazine articles and buyers flocked to Ford and Lincoln-Mercury showrooms where the Shay Model A was sold with Ford’s official sanction and full factory warranty coverage. Production ran for just 1980-82 with about 5,000 produced, according to the Shay Model A Club. Finished in yellow with black fenders and matching vinyl upholstery, this very nice and enjoyable example features twin horns, steel wire wheels, twin side mounted spares with chrome mirrors, power brakes, tilt steering, vintage-appearing turn signals, wind wings, an electric windshield wiper, 140 km/h speedometer, a folding black vinyl top, black-upholstered rumble seat, and front and rear chrome bumpers. Combining vintage looks with modern mechanicals with real Ford heritage.
