Vehicle Description
1929 Ford Model A - 200ci V8 - 3 Speed Manual Transmission - Brown
And Black Over Tan Interior - Same Family Owned For 55 Years First
produced late in the 1927 calendar year, the Ford Model A was
designated a 1928 model and was the second market success for the
Ford Motor Company, replacing the venerable Model T. Being
available in four standard colors and a wide variety of body
styles, which included coupes, roadsters, cabriolets, convertible
sedans, phaetons, town cars, station wagons and even commercial
vehicles, by February 4, 1929, one million Model As has been sold
and just a few months later, two million (July 24, 1929). By of
March 1932, Model A production ended with a total of 4,858,644
vehicles across all body styles. Ford powered the Model A with a
water-cooled L-head inline four-cylinder engine with 201ci of
displacement which provided a whopping 40 horsepower and had a top
speed of around 65 mph. The transmission was a conventional
unsynchronized three-speed sliding-gear manual with a single speed
reverse. Model As also had four-wheel mechanical drum brakes. The
Model A was the first Ford to use a standard set of driver controls
with a conventional clutch and brake pedals, throttle, and
gearshift. Previous Fords used controls that had become uncommon to
drivers of other vehicle makes. Finally, in addition to the United
States, Ford also produced Model As in plants across the world
including Argentina, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy,
Japan, and the United Kingdom. Presented here is a 1929 Ford Model
A 2-dr Coupe that has been gently cared for by the same loving
family for 55 years. With a two-tone brown and black exterior
paint, this Model A may not be the flashiest vehicle on the road,
but it is unlike any other. The overall outer appearance is stock
with little or minimal signs of wear and age but still shows quite
well. The bright yellow wheels are matched to the pinstriping that
follows the body line around the entire cab surface. The chrome
bumpers and radiator shell shine expertly and are topped off with
the popular Flying Goose radiator cap. The inline L-head engine is
noted to have been rebuilt in the late 1980s and includes some
updated documentation. The engine compartment along with the
chassis/frame are in well-kept condition considering this vehicle
will be celebrating its 100th birthday in just a few years. The
owner has also included additional manuals and literature for this
vehicle's next owner. For the driver and any passengers, the
interior appears to be in original condition. It is hard to tell if
the upholstery is an older restoration as original finishes are
visible. There are a few signs of use with a variety of holes on
the driver's door panel and along the bottom of the passenger side
bench. The rumble seat has been finished with black vinyl and does
appear to be newer but in great shape. Although most collector's do
not desire to have this vintage of a vehicle in their collection,
there really is something special about the Ford Model A. Whether
you are a driver or a passenger, when you are in a Model A you
truly are taken back in time. It's the simple nature of the drive
and being connected to the vehicle that bring out the best in any
classic and collector vehicle. Please call if interested or email
with specific questions. Thank you for looking.
