I love rust, but I'll take the gal!

My doodlebug had two transmissions. I kept the rear one in low and used the front to shift. In low low, it would just crawl. I had a hand throttle and I could get out and walk faster than it would go. I remember seeing them driving on the road in the 1950's. I love old vehicle history.

Doodlebugs are actually fairly common and any good size ag show will have one or 2. Most I see are cut off short, with the rear axle just behind the operator's seat. There was one for sale at a swap meet in Longmont, CO a few years ago. The guy wanted a LOT of money for it.

Model AA Ford. The large truck wheels make it an AA. The cowl gas tank makes it a Ford. Body has been cut off. Lots were made into farm vehicles called doodlebugs. I had a 32 Chevy doodlebug in the early 60's

I would guess that neither model is for sale.
