1930 Ford Model A Street Rod featured in two-tone black over what could best be described as Harley-Davidson red. This street rod is built on Ford's #170-B Fordor Deluxe body by Briggs with a full vinyl-covered roof as noted in Model A catalogs as the Leatherback body. This is a 4-window sedan as compared to the more common 6-window sedan. The roof incorporates a custom glass Moonroof which is functional. The car is reported to have been built in California and has covered only about 3,000 miles since it was completed. The car has a period-correct trunk rack, and trunk, into which the battery has been relocated. Additional features on the exterior include a Flying Quail radiator ornament and chrome grill stone guard. It is powered by a Ford 289 V8 mated to a Ford C4 automatic transmission with 8” rear with 3.55 gears. There are disc brakes up front, and drums in the rear. There are chrome wire wheels all around with Ford logo center caps and near new Hankook tires (3822). Further upgrades include rack & pinion steering and dual exhaust. The interior features black vinyl with grey cloth insets, with bucket seats up front. The custom wood dash includes VDO gauges, a Pioneer AM/FM/CD stereo with Pioneer speakers, and a button for the attention-getting Ah-Oogah horn. The car is an older build, so there are a few chips in the paint, but the car has a really nice look and is fun to drive. It attracts a great deal of attention at shows and cruise nights and represents a great value in an iconic Model A rod.
