Either you know it...

[Dawgluver]

Henry Ford's Model A?

 

[Andy M.]

Sorry guys, neither is correct.

 

[pacanis]

Hmmm, me thinks that you mentioning VWs and Porsches means it was probably also a rear engine automobile... They didn't have a Corvair back that early, did they? Probably not.

 

[chopper]

Franklin???

 

[Alix]

A Chevy something.

 

[chopper]

Come on Andy...tell u's who is right!!

Is it the Franklin??

 

[Andy M.]

H. H. Franklin Motor Car Company, Syracuse, NY. My best friend owned one. It was a really nice car.

Chopper, you're up!

 

[chopper]

Yea! I win?? I was going to ask what outlaw wanted a Franklin so that bullets wouldn't be able to be shot at the radiator to stop the car, but I can't remember who it was. So...I won't ask it!

I will ask this instead.

Ford got credit for the first factory built pickup in 1925. It was a light duty half ton with a steel cargo box. It was called a Model T Runabout. Who technically beat Ford by making a factory built pickup in 1924? A rarely seen truck (3/4 ton with a wooden box).

 

[Andy M.]

Franklin?

 

[chopper]

Nope. Any other guesses?

 

[Andy M.]

Mercedes Benz

 

[pacanis]

I haven't seen enough American Pickers to know this one either
I thought it might be the Willys, but they weren't out that early.

 

[chopper]

Nope. I love American pickets too! No one has gotten it yet. Think companies that are still around and still making trucks.

 

[chopper]

Oops. The auto correct wanted to change Pickers.

 

[Dawgluver]

Chevy, Buick?

Dad, who had a car dealership, actually had the oldest Ford towtruck ever, and used it into the 80‘s. And he collected Model T's and Model A's, along with old limos.

So, that has much to do with the question. Not. Sorry.

 

[chopper]

No...no. Didn't know this would be so hard.

 

[Dawgluver]

Harley?

 

[chopper]

Harley?

Lol. No.

 

[chopper]

Well...there are only so many...:d

 

[chopper]

How long before I tell you the answer??
