"Sapmobile" Draws Big Crowds
 ✖  |
“My son and I rebuilt a 1931 4-door Model A slant window Ford into a track vehicle to haul sap from our maple woods,” says Richard Breton of Vassalboro, Maine. “We started with a beat up Model A chassis, kept the original engine and drive train, then added a second set of wheels with mud rims to the back of the frame.” Those wheels were from the front end of a scrapped out Model A that the Bretons acquired from a Maine collector.
The bright red paint and custom lettering were done by a local automotive shop. “As far as I know this is a one-of-a-kind vehicle,” says Richard. “We’ve taken it to a few local boiling events and it’s been a real center of attention. I plan on building a trailer for it this year to haul two 115 gallon tanks and 60 sap pails.”
