Exterior
Copra Drab and tastefully contrasting ElkpointGreen paint covers the car in appropriate single stage presentation with a fine, satin finish. The green runs down the rear section as if spilling paint and presents like a pair of suspenders with a parallel line along the curved edge of the car, the two meeting at the bottom to create an underscoring detail. Green also stretches out as a thin line over the hood, terminating at the polished radiator shell that's topped with the iconic flying quail cap. In typical fashion, the fenders and connecting running board are painted black, providing a nice contrast to the earth tone of the car and complemented by the 19-inch black wire wheels. The textured vinyl roof panel and body are in very good shape overall with imperfections noted as surface scratches, bubbling, chips, filler evidence, cracking paint, and orange peel.

Interior
Brown cloth door panels and their pleated map pockets are in very good condition andcheckered wool type coverage is used on the bench seat, presenting nicely with tan piping and channel tufting. Black grain vinyl covers the rumble seat and is better able to withstand outdoor conditions. The basic 4 spoke steering wheel is presented to the driver and fronts body colored dash and cloverleaf silver plate in the middle housing the ignition and some period gauges, showing in great shape. The slim and simple shifter rises from the floor adjacent to the handbrake, all surrounded by a perfect black rubberized mat that fully surrounds the pedals. Up above, the soft headliner is likely mohair in nice condition, fully intact and the windlace looks great.

Drivetrain
Up front is a clean 201ci inline four cylinder, putting out 40 horsepower and fed fuel through a 1-barrel carburetor. It's mated to a 3-speed manual transmission routing power to the rear axle with 3.78 gears. The car runs on a 6 volt system.

Undercarriage
Super clean underneath and rust free, we find the single exhaust and its stock style muffler giving way to a tailpipe that terminates under the car. It's closer to the back than earlier cars as we eventually learned to send the fumes all the way to the back! Transverse leaf springs are employed front and rear for suspension and four wheel mechanical brakes are on board.

Drive-Ability
The comfortable enclosed cab must have felt like the lap of absolute luxury in 1930 and offers wonderful visibility. We're finding the fuel system needing service as the car runs but stalls when throttle is applied. All other operational offerings worked as they should including lights, gauges, and brakes. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

A drivable show car that is nearly the 100 year mark, this is throwback to a time when not many other brands of cars occupied the roads. The period paint, clean interior, and show worthy underside makes this one a solid contender if you're in the market for a nice Model A.
