For Sale: 1929 Ford Model A in Lithia Springs, Georgia

The Ford Model A replaced the wildly successful Model T for the 1928 model year with production lasting until 1931. A far more complex vehicle than its predecessor, it debuted many significant improvements. Its L-head inline four-cylinder engine gained more displacement and produced a claimed 40 horsepower-twice that of the Model T. Fuel was gravity fed to the carburetor from a tank positioned in the cowl, between the engine compartment and the dashboard, featuring a visual fuel gauge. Other new features included four-wheel mechanical brakes, a battery-powered ignition system, and safety glass for the windshield, an industry first. Significantly, the Model A was also the first Ford to adopt a standard set of driver controls, with conventional clutch, throttle, and brake pedals and a gear shifter like on vehicles from other manufacturers of the day. Ford offered a wide variety of consumer and commercial body styles for the Model A, with the Roadster body seen on the 1929 Ford Rumble Seat Roadster offered here remaining particularly popular among collectors.

This restored 1929 Ford Model A Rumble Seat Roadster displays a sharp exterior that has been carefully maintained. The classic Olive Drab and Black paint job shows excellent depth across the body panels and fenders. The straw-colored spoke wheels contrast well against the body color, with wide whitewall tires giving it proper road presence. A tan canvas convertible top folds neatly behind the cabin, and the running boards feature good rubber covering. This Model A is well accessorized, with a grill guard, Flying Quail hood ornament, etched wing windows, dual side-mount tires with mirrors, luggage rack, manual drivers-side wiper, and whitewall tires.

The brown vinyl interior presents clean, functional simplicity. The bench seat provides good support with the floor shifter positioned for easy access. The dash is painted to match the exterior, creating visual continuity throughout the vehicle. Brown door panels match the seating surfaces, maintaining a cohesive look across all interior components. A beveled rear-view mirror offers necessary visibility for safe driving. The carpet shows good condition throughout the cabin floor.

The 201 CI 4-cylinder engine connects to a 3-speed manual transmission for authentic Model A performance with a clean engine bay showing evidence of proper maintenance. An upgrade to an alternator helps insure reliability. Mechanical drum brakes handle stopping duties from all four corners and the front suspension uses a mono leaf spring while the rear employs a traditional leaf spring setup. The factory rear end maintains correct specifications and the exhaust provides the only soundtrack you need.
