1929 Ford Model A

1929 Ford Model A Tudor Sedan For consignment, a 1929 Ford Model A Tudor sedan showing 35,553 miles which are not actual. The car was fully restored in 1990 and will come to the new owner with a box full of historical information and documents for the car, including every license plate worn by the Ford since 1929! Exterior This A is a handsome piece, painted with a coat of Cordoba Tan covering the car, contrasted by the flowing black fenders and running boards. A black shoulder line accent stripe encircles the car complemented by twin orange pin stripes. Black accents such as the shoulder stripe pick up on the color of the wire wheels, including the rear mounted spare, and it all works very well. The chrome bumpers and grille shell, along with the Boyce Motometer that sits above it, all look impeccable. A vinyl visor and roof top look like they just rolled off the line in Dearborn, Michigan back in 1929, and add interest to the classic profile of the car, tall and stately with large windows and a perfectly vertical windscreen, flanked on each side by mirrors. A single chip in the paint and some deglazing of a window are the extent of imperfections on the exterior of the car. Interior Brown tweed door panels warmly greet you upon opening the doors. The pleated storage pouch is a charming feature that precedes by 100 years the molded plastic cup holders and phone chargers of todays cars, but effective for the time. More brown tweed covers the front bucket seats in fine fashion as well and we are always drawn to the cozy rear bench of these seats which are tweed lined little rooms devoid of distractions and looking comfortable. And for a bit of privacy, theres a pull down shade on the back window. A black 4 spoke steering wheel shows well deserved patina while the clover leaf plate around the gauge cluster in the center of the Cordoba dash shines like a diamond. A floor mounted shifter sits on a rubber mat covered floor in darn near perfect condition. The soft cloth headliner and its subtle puffiness is fully intact. Drivetrain The 201ci inline 4 cylinder engine is here and is rated at 40 horsepower, more than adequate for when it was new and still capable of keeping up with modern traffic. Its fed by a 1-barrel carburetor and tied to a 3-speed manual transmission which spins the driveshaft to 3.78 gearing in the rear axle. The engine compartment is meticulous and clean, like a time capsule and even the clamps are original style. Mechanical drum brakes reside at all four corners. Undercarriage Clean with minimal signs of usage, we note very little surface rust and no errant fluids. A single exhaust is in place, traveling through a stock style muffler before exiting near the rear axle. Transverse leaf springs are found at both ends. Drive-Ability Cmon John Boy, lets take a ride to Godseys General Store and pick up some beans for supper tonight. We step right back in time, adjust the choke, and start this antique up. Horse carriage height and big windows mean great visibility and the car putted along smoothly and for 1929, rather swiftly. Were pleased to find all functions, few that there are, are working.
