Cruisin Classics is pleased to present this 1929 Ford Model A Tudor
Sedan. Step back in time to the roaring 20's when taking a journey
in a motorcar was still a special experience. This '29 Ford is the
pure embodiment of that pre-war automotive elegance and simplicity.
The car comes to us with black fenders and the body dressed in a
coat of tan paint with brown belt molding and orange pinstripes -
an attractive combination. It appears to have been painted some
time ago, but it has held up well over time and is still in good
driver quality condition. Up front you'll find a gullwing-style
hood, a bright radiator grille surround flanked by large bucketed
headlights, and a chrome bumper. The grill sports two medallions: a
first place senior award from the Penn-Ohio "A" Ford Club and a
first place national award in 1981 from the Model A Restorers Club.
Looking upward, there is a gas fill on the cowl, a swing-out
windshield, a single wiper arm with no blade, a sun visor topped
with black vinyl, and a black vinyl roof. The running boards that
connect the fenders are topped with rubber and Ford step-plates.
The car rides on 21" black wire wheels wrapped in newer Firestone
tires and a full spare is mounted on the rear between chrome
bumperettes. Take a peek underneath to find a clean black
undercarriage and a single exhaust.
Under the hood is a clean well-presented engine bay with a rebuilt
3.3 liter 201ci water-cooled inline 4-cylinder engine. These little
engines were real workhorses, producing 40 hp and 128 lb/ft of
torque with a top speed around 65mph. The trusty block is mated up
to a period-correct 3-speed unsynchronized manual transmission. The
brakes are mechanical drums on all four corners and steeting is
manual as well. Some other highlights under the hood include a
newer radiator, a newer leakless water pump, an electrical starter,
and a single-wire alternator. This Model A still runs on a 6-volt
electrical system.
Inside the cabin is predictably minimalist, but comfortable and
well-cared for. Broadcloth fabric covers the doors, side panels,
and the front bucket and rear bench seats. The seats are in good
condition with little sign of wear. The doors offer map-pockets for
storage. Overhead is a tight tan felt headliner and underfoot is a
nice fitted black rubber mat. The front and rear windows roll up
and down as they should and the back window has a pull-down privacy
blind - a cool touch. Ahead of the driver is what appears to be the
original 4-spoke steering wheel with a working horn and controls
for lights, spark advance, and throttle. The dash ahead is painted
body color and in the center is a metal bezel that contains the
ignition, speedometer, fuel gauge, and amp gauge. The odometer
reads 11,837 miles. Rising from the floor are a shifter for the
manual transmission and an emergency brake and ahead of the
passenger is a manual choke. The car starts easily and drives with
the raw engaging feel of a true vintage machine.
This Model A is not just a car, it is a rolling piece of history
that offers a driving experience steeped in nostalgia. This Ford is
turn-key ready to hit the road today and head to a car show, a
parade, an ice cream parlor, or just cruise around town and collect
smiles wherever you go! Give our friendly staff a call today and
make this beauty your own!
