For Sale: 1929 Ford Model A in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

Vehicle Description

1929 Ford Model A Phaeton

When the Model A was introduced in December 1927, there were actually riots in a few U.S. cities. In one week, 20 percent of the population, (25 million people), attempted to get to their neighborhood Ford dealer to see the new car. The difference between the Model A and Model T was like night and day, and the public liked what they saw, buying about 5 million Model A's between 1927 and 1931. While the T was nicknamed "Tin Lizzie," the A became known as the "Baby Lincoln" because of the similar styling.

For consignment, a 1929 Ford Model A Phaeton, which has undergone a restoration in the past. It retains its nice shine and the paint is very good and the exterior surfaces are rust free. The interior is nice and although missing its convertible top, still can show up and wow the crowds at the local watering hole. The engine remains stock and the added benefit of a 4-speed transmission is now on. A nice color combo and looking great in its design to usher out the roaring twenties.

Exterior
This writer's award goes to this car for the best color combination on a Model A. All straight rust-free panels, minding their gaps very well, are bathed in a light pale green which is just beautifully applied. On the beltline of the doors is a metal molding to break up the fairlystraight sidings. The paint is just a bit patinated and shows scratching areas of the older restoration, however no rust is noted. Wonderfully designed fenders in black frame 21-inch black wire spoked wheels, wrapped in new wide white radials to the tune of 4.40/4.50/4.75/5.00x21's. All chrome on this car is just pristine, and mirror-like. From the radiator surround to the dual bar bumpers, door handles, rear view mirrors and taillight bezels it's all there and squared away. Even the Boyce motometer with its spread wings atop the radiator surround is presenting as nearly new. A spare hangs from the rear of this car, and if you look at the beautiful line from any angle, you'll agree this car is 100 percent cool ragtime design. The Sting!

Interior
Pulling open the doors we see pristine door panels in gray vinyl, the handles are just perfect and have the neatest late 20's style escutcheons. Moving inside, more gray vinyl is covering the overstuffed front bench seat. In back, another snazzy overstuffed gray vinyl bench/couch for ultimate passenger comfort, and in tune of the roaring 20's with flapper excess. Upfront is a curved light green painted dash in an eyebrow design. Keeping it simple is the theme with a central chromed "mask" style instrument cluster surround. A black bakelite big steering wheel with spark advance fronts the dash and down low we note clean black rubber flooring for the front and rear passengers. Shucks! That's just all dandy.

Drivetrain
Opening the cowled vented hood, we see a perfectly restored and well maintained inline 4 cylinder engine. This is just perfect with no rust, and retains its 6V electrical system. 201 cubes will cover it, and it has a single barrel carburetor to feed it. A non original 4-speed manual transmission is on the back of this stout 4 popper sending power back to a 3.77 geared rear axle. Just showroom under here, which is yet another winning highlight to this beautiful example. Yowza!

Undercarriage
Like new with all clean black metal floor pans, frame, and structural elements to hold the body on tightly. No invasive rust to note, just some light surface rusting on the untreated suspension and framing components. Transverse leaf springs are on all 4 corners, as are mechanical drum brakes, all clean and green. (Well actually black!)

Drive-Ability
To drive one, is to know how to start one, and it was off to the races with this excellent example. It started right up, idled smoothly, and ran like a champ with nice acceleration, simple easy steering, and solid braking. You will not break any world speed records, but it will definitely get you where you want to go. All in working clean condition on the driving side.

The late 1920's roared into the Hallowed Halls of our beloved Classic Auto Mall, all in near perfect style, beautiful color combination, and turnkey drive away condition. Very well done, and in its 93rd year. Plenty of TLC, and caring hands have kept this car as Henry made it and needs to be seen to be really appreciated. So, view the photos carefully, and if you can make it in, it will be worth your while. If not, it speaks for itself (with my help!). I guess it could be a speakeasy?
