Vehicle Description
The Ford Model A, produced from 1927 to 1931, was the second huge
success for the Ford Motor Company, following the Ford Model T. The
first model A ever manufactured was produced on October 20th, 1927,
but the new Model As were not sold until December 2, 1927, and were
offered in four standard colors. In February of 1929, only two
years into production, one million Model As had been sold. By March
of 1930, Model A sales hit three million, and body styles were
offered in 9 variations; Coupe (Standard and Deluxe), Business
Coupe, Sports Coupe, Roadster Coupe (Standard and Deluxe),
Convertible Cabriolet, Convertible Sedan, Phaeton (Standard and
Deluxe), Tudor Sedan (Standard and Deluxe), Town Car, Foudor
(2-window, in Standard and Deluxe), Fordor (3-window, in Standard
and Deluxe), Victoria, Station Wagon, Taxicab, Truck and
Commercial. When production of the Model A ended in March of 1932,
there were 1,507,132 1929 Ford Model As produced and only 4,954
Model A Station Wagons manufactured. The engine of the Model A was
a water-cooled L-head 4-cylinder with a displacement of 201 cu in.
The engine provided 40 hp and top speed was around 65 mph. The
transmission was a conventional 3-speed sliding gear manual
unsynchronized unit with a single speed reverse. The Model A also
featured 4-wheel mechanical drum brakes. This car was the first
Ford to use the standard set of driver controls (with conventional
clutch and brake pedals, throttle and gearshift) and the first car
produced to have safety glass in the windshield. Our Ford Model A
?Woodie? Wagon is an exceptional example of a faithfully restored
and lovingly maintained car. The engine was recently rebuilt and
runs smooth and faithfully. What a conversation piece, and piece of
American History to have on of these We are able to assist with
shipping.
