Ok, this is something you don’t see everyday. As a matter of fact, it’s something you’re not expected to see during this day and age. In case you’re wondering what it is (no it’s not a tractor), this really vintage vehicle is a Ford Model A, which was conveniently modified to become a snowplow.

So who owns this antique automobile? Well, it’s none other than Massachusetts native, Lawrence David. Residing in Mill River, David said that he was able to acquire the vehicle 50 years ago. His reason for purchasing this is really simple: he just wanted to have a car to help him plow the roads. The funny part here is that this Model A is still able to function using its original six-volt electrical system. Talk about the quality of its engine. Way to go, Ford. Aside from the original engine, the Model A snowplow also relies on the use of a Ruckstell two-speed rear axle.

Although it’s not as pristine as it once was, it’s nice to know that retro vehicle like this Model A are still able to function just like they once did. Hopefully, David gets to take good care of it and prevent it from landing a home in the nearest junkyard.
