Chassis No. A4762447
Engine No. A4262247
Body No. 159-7386
Chassis number A4762447 wears 2-Door Phaeton bodywork finished in
period-correct Washington Blue over black fenders and running
boards, with a tan canvas folding top, brown leather interior,
square-weave carpet, folding front bucket seats, rear seats
featuring armrests, and a set of straw-colored wire wheels shod in
blackwall rubber-a combination that plays to the De Luxe 2- Door
Phaeton's low, open lines. The bright radiator shell, headlamps and
cowl lights, dual wind wings, driver's-side Unity Sportlite
spotlight, dual side-mounted spares, and rear luggage rack are all
correct De Luxe touches, and together they lend this open 2-Door
Phaeton a presence well beyond its modest original price of
$580.
This car was the subject of a thorough restoration whose quality is
demonstrated by a plethora of badges adorning the radiator. Awarded
an AACA National First Prize in 1991, it went on to earn Grand
National honors in 1997. Further acknowledgments from the Model A
Restorers Club include both the MARC Master Restoration Award and
the Henry Ford Award, while the Model A Ford Club of America
presented its Award of Excellence-an enviable concours record that
few surviving Model A's can match.
The 2-Door Phaeton is one of the rarest and most desirable bodies
ever fitted to the Model A chassis, with just 6,175 examples built
across only two model years, 1930 and 1931. Undoubtedly among the
best-restored survivors extant, this exceptional example would be
as welcome on a club tour as it would returning to the AACA and
MARC concours lawn.
