Vehicle Description
One family owned Ford Model A Sport Coupe!!!! With a recent rebuild
on the drivetrain. This cool blue and black Model A is sure to turn
heads anywhere she goes. Currently looking for a new garage to call
home. Prices for the Model A ranged from US$385 for a roadster to
US$1400 for the top-of-the-line Town Car. The engine was a
water-cooled L-head inline 4-cylinder with a displacement of 201
CID This engine provided 40 HP Top speed was around 65 MPH. The
Model A had a 103.5" wheelbase with a final drive ratio of 3.77:1.
The transmission was a conventional 3-speed sliding gear manual
unsynchronized unit with a single speed reverse. The Model A had
4-wheel mechanical drum brakes. The Model A was the first Ford to
use the standard set of driver controls with conventional clutch
and brake pedals, throttle, and gearshift. Previous Fords used
controls that had become uncommon to drivers of other makes. The
Model A's fuel tank was situated in the cowl, between the engine
compartment's fire wall and the dash panel. It had a visual fuel
gauge, and the fuel flowed to the carburetor by gravity. A
rear-view mirror was optional. In cooler climates, owners could
purchase an aftermarket cast iron unit to place over the exhaust
manifold to provide heat to the cab. A small door provided
adjustment of the amount of hot air entering the cab. The Model A
was the first car to have safety glass in the windshield To view
