While the Ford Model T had been a market success, sales were falling after 18 years, and Henry Ford’s staff finally convinced him to retire it. The new Model A was more stylish with beautiful, Lincoln-inspired bodywork, thanks to the unsung design savvy of his son Edsel. It was also mechanically advanced, with the engine providing 40 HP at the flywheel for a top speed of 65 mph.
In fact, it became Ford’s second market success: over five million Model As were sold within the four model years of 1929-1931.
This classic 1929 Model A has benefitted from a body-off faithful restoration. Everything is correct and no detail was left undone, with everything restored authentically down to the iconic Goodyear Diamond Tread black tires. The orange pinstriping is yet another example of the detail that the owner put into this car.
While the interior is authentically covered in gray vinyl, the rumble seat is adorned with brown vinyl provided by LeBarron Bonney, and both the front and rumble seat floors have correct black rubber mats.
It has won several local car show awards, including:
2021 First Place/Best of Class, Ohio Region Classic Car Club of America,
Stan Hywet Father’s Day Car Show
2021 Best 30s Prior, South Russell Police Charity Car Show
2018 First Place/Best of Class, Ohio Region Classic Car Club of America,
Stan Hywet Father’s Day Car Show
With the restoration finished in 2018, this stunning roadster has been maintained in wonderful condition and kept in heated storage. To see this iconic roadster, you would think it was just restored: no paint chips, no interior wear, and the chrome and undercarriage both look freshly done. The owner has driven the car approximately 2,500 since its restoration was completed.
Not only is this Model A historically significant, but it’s easy to maintain, remarkably affordable and easy to drive. What’s not to love about it?
