1929 Ford Model A Roadster Shay reproduction, produced in 1980.

Here’s a little history on the Shay Model A.

Shay Motors Corporationwas an automobile company founded by Harry J. Shay in February 1978 as the Model A & Model T Motor Car Reproduction Corporation.Harry Shay arranged withFord Motor Companyto build a limited run, modern-day reproduction of theFord Model ARoadster, with arumble seat, that was to be sold through the network of Ford Automobile Dealerships and built inBattle Creek, Michigan.It was hoped that displaying the vehicles in Ford dealer showrooms would increase potential customer visits and sales.

While having the outward appearance of the classic automobile, the reproduction was built with a fiberglass body, using the original molds that Ford still had that were used on the model A in the 1920’s and 1930’s. However, the Shay Model A used a modern frame andpowertrain. The Shay Model A used the same2.3L 4-cylinder engineas aFord Pintowith the option of aFord C4 automatic transmissionor a four-speed manual transmission. There were many other options that could be added to the Shay, even including air conditioning.

I am the second owner of this vehicle. It’s in excellent condition, especially considering that it’s now 46 years old. It has 4,077 actual miles on it! It has a 4-speed manual transmission; rumble seat with seat belts; radio; trunk; and a spare tire. I am in my eighties now and have recently developed some health issues, so I’ve decided to sell it.
