This old 1928 Ford Model A Doodlebug

Last week I went to visit my friend Francis Cunningham at his home and studio in Scheffield, Massachusetts. His friend Larry was there with his 1928 Ford to do a little yard work, so I asked him about the car.
About That Barn...last year,I made a video about the barn, see that video at this link. • Old New England Post a...

There really aren't words to describe how epically cool this is. I hope it stays looking just like that for a long time.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

+'54 Ford Club of America I'm really happy you liked it, thanks for the comment.

[@andrewwilson8317]

What a lovely old truck. Hope it stays just as it is forever. Needs no restoration or polishing,just topped up with water and gas and wiped with an oily rag. A real delight to add to any folk art museum.

[@sagecomstock7385]

I really enjoy as a teenager listening to these kind of elders talking about what they did with these model T and A’s and the crazy things they used to do when they were young. It’s just so satisfying to me

[@sapelesteve]

Classic Old car puttering along just like the old boys! Gotta love that............Loved the aerial views & music. Great video......................Thanks Jon, Steve

[@JonPetersArtHome]

+Sapele Steve thank you Steve

[@SterlingsWoodcrafts]

Great video Jon, reminds me of my Grandfather sitting in his shop tell us stories, I miss those days , Thanks for sharing

[@JonPetersArtHome]

+Sterling Davis thank you! Appreciate the comment

[@yurinator7274]

What a cool old vehicle, great to see those old getting about and having fun.

[@BruceAUlrich]

What a fascinating glimpse into history that was. Thanks for that! Oh, and fun fact: My dad has this nearly 7 foot pry bar that was always around when I was growing up. Come to find out, it is the drive shaft out of a Model A. He used it for a pry bar for different things because it is so tough. It has really stood the test of time.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

+Bruce A. Ulrich thanks Bruce, ha ! Wow that's cool

[@Lanninglongarmmowing]

Very cool truck. A survivor that's for sure.

[@gwarbong]

16 seconds in and I love this video. couple old friends just being friends.🤝

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks! These are my favorite videos to make… Really happy to get the comment. Thanks again.

[@artconnolly9519]

hopefully that car lives on another century. So cool

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Art

[@davidburke557]

These guys are legends

[@kevinbostrom9025]

Thanks for sharing.

[@WonderingAimlessly]

nice to hear a couple of old guys talking it up. this younger one appreciates the opportunity to listen in.

[@matroosoft4589]

Stunning images, thanks! I like those videos were you're telling a story without saying a single word.

[@NickPantazis]

Awesome old man. He reminded me of my late grandfather back in the days. The only difference is that my grandfather had a donkey. Nice work Jon. Thanks for sharing.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

+Nick Pantazis thanks Nick

[@anthonylandry7924]

[@TheMarcball]

you got cool friends with cool toys, Jon. Thanks for the inspiration Keep on trucking (from France) !

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks , yeah good people good times : )... appreciate the comment

[@TheMarcball]

Well you know Jon, you do have a sweet spin on this carzy world we live in, and I really think there is a valuable artistic kindness to the way you share some of the gems in your life, be say your creations or things you come across. I think it's typical of a positive outlook on YT and the way it can nurture mankind, with your own special Jon Peters strylistic spin, which is substantial. I hope to join the trend/process soon, but you're certainly an inspiration. Please don't stop, cause it'll take a bunch of putt putt pushes to get folks like me to join the YT production movement, and we need gentle prodding, if you see what I mean. But the result of lots of people gently sharing their warm outlook on life would/will be something amazing to behold... Keep on trucking y'all !

[@electricroundup8300]

Don't go anywhere without my vintage waterin' can.........Luv that video Jon.........Thanks!

Awesome people, car and the country music 😀.. and your cool drone footage 😊

[@JonPetersArtHome]

+Ranga thanks !

[@mattfarahsmillionmilelexus]

The smooth cowl sides and the reveal going into the hood identifies this as a Fordor sedan, Briggs body, either a steel top or a leatherback. Cool farm truck conversion.

[@cindipom]

Cool Video! We have a 1965 Buick, restoring it.

[@bufallobill9052]

Just like way back then..... when coolant not yet exist.... simple life.... simple problems.....simple hobbies...

[@MRrwmac]

Other than the water can, he had what looked to be a quart of oil. Did he put that in the engine as well? Love to hear the old stories they have and the lifelong friendships with other people, the land and their trusty old but simple workhorse vehicles! Thanks for sharing Jon!

..Greetings from Berlin 🍺

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Cheers!

[@xcaliber5592]

Cool

[@terryboyer1342]

I learned to drive in a AA doodle bug at my Grandparents place in Selkirk MI when I was 12. I was allowed to drive it alone on the two tracks and even the county dirt road to a little store that had a gas pump. Even passed by a DNR officer who just smiled and waved at me. Definitely not street legal! That was in the early 70s.

[@terryboyer1342]

I just noticed your last name is Peters. The dirt road my Grandparents lived on was Peters Rd. Cool coincidence!

[@hotrodhog2170]

Nice crew ya got there Jon! Cool drone footage too

[@allanpaganini]

Hi Jon How are you? This fantastic old car, incredible. Here in my country it´s very difficult to find. Excellente video. Congratulation

[@lukesylvester2022]

Bueatiful car sir

[@roadrunner8488]

Awesome video, and sure good to see them guys like to walk for their age I mean they're doing pretty good I'm 26 and I woulda parked my car right up beside the truck lol instead of walk that far

[@bruceg1845]

[@davidrichards7722]

[@pkerit308]

A doodlebug has a shortened frame and tractor wheels on the back

[@geneclift6693]

We used to call these puddle jumpers

[@toddkuhrt4380]

I like the drone footage. What drone?

[@CameraEd1]

Dang, I thought I was doing well when I hung on to my 2001 Toyota Truck till 2015. Mr. Davis and his Model A put me to shame.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

+Ed Tillman ha :) yeah I just got rid of my 2002 work van

[@cartermiller9284]

I got a truck from 1988 still running

[@drumavenger83]

[@JonPetersArtHome]

+drumavenger83 ha :)

[@ddilink]

I had one of these! A model B Ford Truck with a 4 speed and less body than this one.

[@Sennmut]

I could not read it...what State is the license plate?

[@MRrwmac]

Any way you could ask your friend to get some pictures or video of Larry's Doodlebug he said he still had?

[@JonPetersArtHome]

+MRrwmac I'll try on the next trip

[@artmignerey1624]

Jon, great video! What was the music track?

[@eaglecot]

Basically like any body on frame made today...

[@blurrrrrr44]

Leatherback sedan?

[@Jarastlad]

Cool video, I wish I could use that sort of equipment for work around the property. But you know, european regulations get in the way ... It'd be a shame to use such an impressive piece of equipment that still runs after more than 80 years of service !

[@Jakester-eo6dp]

When I saw this I immediately thought Courage the cowardly dog
