Sold 1929 FORD A DELUXE ROADSTER SHAY Replica 2.3L 4 cylinder
engine. with 4 speed manual transmission. Terry 952-451-2104 $14000
The 1929 Ford Model A replicas built by Shay have an interesting
history all of their own. They look like an 86-year-old classic,
but beneath the vintage looks is a more modern drivetrain. Harry
Shay started a new car company within the same offices as Ford.
Ford granted the rights to use the Model A design and provided the
drivetrain components. Shay built the bodies and assembled the
vehicles. There were less than 5,000 original Shay Model As
produced, . The Deluxe was a more expensive upgraded model that
included the side-mounted spare tire and rear luggage rack with
locking trunk. The cream and black is exactly how you would expect
a 1929 Ford to look, but it has the benefit of the lighter
fiberglass body. The black vinyl seats and door trim are very well
presented. And this one also gets the details right from the wind
wings on the side of the windshield to the fantastic rumble seat.
But then you slip into the driver's seat and find a more
comfortable wheel than an original Model A. The gauge package is in
the center and simple looking, just like any other Model A, but the
special "Shay's A" readouts are much clearer. There's even a
quality heater and full top/curtain package to keep this one useful
in all weather. There's no greater feeling than cruising down the
road in a true classic that sounds authentic right down to the
"Aoooga!" horn.
