Vehicle Description
This 1931 Ford Model A Victoria is a beautifully stock, final year
example of Ford's iconic Model A in a highly desirable body style.
Introduced in January of 1931, the highly successful Model A
entered its final year of production in which the Ford Motor
Company produced well over half a million units in that year. The
end of Model A production was a significant milestone for Ford
since the company ended up producing nearly 3.5 million units in
the 4 year production run. Ford also produced its 20 millionth
vehicle on April 14, 1931, and that vehicle of course was a Model
A. One of the latest body style additions to Ford's Model A lineup
was the Victoria, a 4 passenger "bustle back" two-door sedan that
was noted as marking a new degree of beauty (and value) in the
Model A line. Introduced in November 1930, the new Victoria had
striking body lines from the slanting windshield through a
straighter top to the new "bustle back" and angled continental kit.
Not only was the bustle back design considered a step forward in
style, it was also utilitarian since luggage could be stored behind
the rear seat. Since the roofline on the Victoria was lower than
many of the other Model A bodies, Ford lowered the rear floor of
the car so as not to sacrifice passenger headroom. The Victorias
were also a bit more plush with dual cowl lights and inside
sunvisors becoming standard equipment. What makes this particular
'31 Victoria so special is that it remains in its stock
configuration and, unlike many others, has not become a customized
Vicky. Powering this '31 Model A Victoria is a standard 200.5 Cubic
Inch L-Head Inline 4 Cylinder engine paired with a single barrel
carburetor that was said to push out 40 horsepower in its day. The
201 Inline 4 is backed by a 3 speed manual transmission that is
shifted using a 3 speed manual transmission. The front end of this
Model A is adorned with dual cowl lights and an accessory radiator
stone guard. Moreover, the chrome and brightwork around the
exterior of this Model A Victoria is in wonderful condition. This
1931 Model A rides on wide whitewall tires that are wrapped around
black painted wire wheels, giving this Victoria a truly classic
look. The exterior has been finished in Black paint and is accented
with Apple Green striping, harkening back to good 'ole Henry Ford's
saying that the "customer can have a car painted any color that he
wants so long as it is black." The interior on this vintage Model A
Victoria is absolutely stunning! The front bucket-type seats and
rear bench seat have been reupholstered in in brown mohair.
Woodgrain dash, door panels and steering wheel are all in wonderful
shape as well and appear to be in their stock configuration. The
dash is equipped with 85 MPH speedometer, amp gauge, and fuel
gauge. Whether you're an established Model A collector looking to
add to your existing collection or you're purchasing your very
first vintage car, this 1931 Ford Model A Victoria would make an
excellent choice. Give us a call today!
