This is a true story based on fabrication. Henry Escalera's 1930 Ford Model A is a generational piece of hot rod fabrication artwork. Built Ford-tough in Dearborn, Mich., Henry Ford's Model A pickups need no introduction. Built a bit tougher in Jurupa Valley, Calif., Henry Escalera's version deserves its own introduction. From here on out as we refer to Henry, we're referring to hot rod fabricator Henry Escalera. It's been said that "the automotive apple don't fall far from the tree." Henry's head start to hot rodding, and everything automotive in general, was largely in his upbringing. Henry's father, John Escalera, was an auto body man by trade. Henry's 1930 Model A pickup still reflects his father's prowess, but this story goes deeper than that. This little truck is Henry's very first set of wheels. |
