Vehicle Description
We like the Ford Model A because it's one of those great classics
that doesn't discriminate. They can be appreciated by nearly anyone
no matter mechanical skill or financial ability. This 1931 tudor
sedan is the perfect example of an affordable classic that chugs
down the road with ease and gets smiles wherever it goes.
The tudor sedan is one of the best ways to enjoy the Model A. The
fully enclosed cabin is part of what really made these a leap over
the Tin Lizzy, but it does not lose its iconic presence that
symbolizes the dawn of the automotive age. The two tone Thorn Brown
and black paint keeps everything period correct, while at the same
time, gives this classic a nice impression of sophistication. It's
especially when the sunlight hits it to give to two deep colors a
true distinction. You can really tell the level of attention that
has gone into this Ford by the details like the yellow pinstripe
that matches the wire wheels, and the excellent condition of the
vinyl roof. But what will really make people take notice are the
great details like the all the correct brightwork, sun visor, and
trunk attached to the rear. And there are even the dual spare
wheels mounted in the fenders for the true Deluxe level luxury.
Open the door and you'll see the seats, door panels, and headliner
have been refreshed with a great looking and durable brown pattern
cloth. Everything feels authentic from the classic four-spoke
steering wheel to the bright instrument panel. You do get a few
nice additions like the turn signals, a temperature gauge, and
exterior-matching pinstriping on the dash. But no one has tried to
ruin this time machine atmosphere with bulky aftermarket parts like
air conditioning or a radio. Instead, this thoroughly correct
interior means raising the front windshield and rolling down the
side windows to get your ventilation the way families did a few
generations ago.
The engine has been under the good maintenance of a careful
owner/driver. So you have a strong runner that features items like
new upper seals and a six-volt alternator. This classic 200
cubic-inch motor is the backbone of the Ford Motor Company, so when
it's a runner like this, you feel instantly connected with history
with every chug of the exhaust. The torquey engine is great for
parade routes and can keep up with traffic around town. The
three-speed manual transmission shifts cleanly with a quick
double-clutch and the brakes are effective for a vehicle with
modest performance and light weight. In total, this 85+ year-old is
still a fun runabout.
Great colors, great material, and a great price - this is the right
Model A for those people who love driving their history. If that's
you, it's time to hurry up and call today!
