Vehicle Description
1931 Ford Model A Coupe
In the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Ford Model A was one of the
most publicized and best-selling cars in America. It was sporty,
attractive, well-built, and smooth-running compared to the Model T,
which it replaced in the 1928 model year.
This beautifully restored 1931 Ford Model A Coupe literally could
be bought and used as a daily driver. Close attention has been paid
to the exterior as well as the mechanicals on this car, and it
truly is useable on a regular basis. Some interesting features have
been added on, so please read on.
Exterior
Andalusite Blue body with black fenders, running boards and top
would have looked like it did on the showroom floor. As are all
Model A's the fenders and splash aprons are painted black. Straw
(yellow) spoked wheels are on all four corners, including an
additional spare tire with a fabric tire cover attached to the
rear. A rear rumble seat in black vinyl is seen, and a great place
to put the mother in law! A single tail light, and flying goose
sits atop a large radiator that is fronted by the stone guard of
interwoven chrome. Flanking on both sides are large headlights with
a visor, and a black horn. Running board step plates, and etched
wind wings will finish off the exterior of this car.
Interior
A comfortable brown and tan tweed grabs you into the single bench
seat and allows for the driver and passenger the sit close and
spoon while driving option (not recommended!) A black dash with
Ford chromed "mask style" instrument cluster sitting in the center
is fronted by an original black steering wheel. Textured rubber
flooring is noted and in very good condition. Door panels are
covered in mohair tan with stitched in pouches for storage. The
headliner and "B" pillar coverings are tan mohair too. A floor
shifter, and handbrake are present.
Drivetrain
A 200ci 4-cylinder single carb engine produces 40hp and is
connected to a 3-speed manual transmission.
Undercarriage
Underside viewing of this car shows minute areas that have surface
rusting, otherwise floor pans, underside of running boards and
bottom door sills are rust free. 4-wheel drum brakes are noted as
are mono leaf suspension setups in front and rear.
Harken back to 1931 and pretend you had some extra money to spend,
needed an automobile that has the capability of driving it
year-round. The Ford Coupe would cost you a little more, but it
would fit the bill. Beautiful exterior color combination takes you
back to a time when you thought everything in the auto world was
painted black...well almost!
