1929 Ford Model A Pickup - Mickey’s Mouse - Mickey Himsl

Noted Northern California hot rodders Mickey and Art Himsl built and painted this truck in 1958 when Mickey was 14. It was at the Oakland Roadster Show in 1962 (where it was photographed by Rod & Custom), then sold. Mickey found the pickup it and bought it back in 2008, with Art’s paint job still intact. East Bay Speed & Custom handled the truck’s show car quality restoration. Art painted his brother’s truck again, just as he’d done almost 60 years ago. A Weiand intake and two Strombergs feed the Offenhauser Flathead, which is tied to a 1939 Ford transmission. Making its second Grand National Roadster Show appearance, “Mickey’s Mouse” is as cool as ever.
