Vehicle Description
1929 Ford Model A Tudor Sedan
The Tudor Sedan body style was one of the first Model A body
styles. In fact, the "mysterious new Ford" seen on the streets of
Detroit in the fall of 1927 was indeed the new Model A Tudor Sedan.
The most popular of all Model A body styles, the Standard Tudor was
available in all four Model A years, with well over 1.25 million of
them being built between 1927 and 1931.
This Ford Tudor Model A Sedan has many modifications, upgrades and
would be considered under the category of vintage street rod. In
1956 it received a complete body redo, interior redo, as well as
engine and suspension upgrade. This car starts immediately and
drives like a dream. Passed down from man to man who was within the
original group of buddies, it is now to the final remaining buddy,
and it is definitely Classic Auto Mall's gain!
Exterior
Dressed in what could only be described as Olive but not drab, this
shiny straight paneled hot rod from the mid-fifties, still holds
its own...a testament to the original quality of build that these
boys undertook over 60 years ago. Chromed accents such as a horn
(chrome horn literally!) bumpers, door handles, grille, headlight
bezels are all in good condition. A metal with brass edged tool box
is attached to the rear of this car, now empty, but inevitably used
to hold a myriad of tools to squeeze out that extra little bit of
horsepower prior to the arms dropping. Straw painted wire spoked
16" wheels are all around and have larger than original width tires
which makes this car handle so beautifully without any power
steering. A chromed flying goose hood ornament is seen sitting
proudly on the radiator.
Interior
Red leather primitive but effective buckets up front, and a rear
bench for drive in movie nights stretches across the rear. A
machined panel in the center of the dash houses elements from an
early Chrysler Imperial dash. Fronting the dash is a steering wheel
that appears to have been cut from 1 solid piece of wood, according
to the grain. Headliner is black fiberboard, and door panels are
the red leather.
Drivetrain
Herse where the boys had some fun...a Ford Model B 4-cylinder
engine, with a Winfield high compression head, a 6-volt Mallory
ignition system, fed by an electric fuel pump, and topped with a
rarely seen Model B Ford air cleaner. Strapped on back, is a later
Ford V8 Transmission (non-synchromesh).
Undercarriage
Clean and seeing only surface rust. Brakes have been upgraded to
hydraulic style, and are silicon coated.
This car remains a quality build by some kids who wanted a hot rod.
Still drives beautifully today, and can go up to 65MPH, and you do
not feel like you are going to lose your life doing so. Cruising
speed of 40-45MPH and she's barely breathing. Consigner notes and
warns that the rear windows are plate glass and should be the first
thing the new buyer attends too.
