1929 Ford Model A

For the price, you'd be hard pressed to find a car that gets as much attention, is as easy to find parts for, or is as reliable as a Model A. The 1928/1929 Models are virtually identical, and are easily distinguishable by the "step-in" of the body to the cowl. They are narrower than the 1930/31 models, and have some more angular features. A very distinguished, timeless style. The drivetrain consists of a four cylinder, valve-in-block flathead producing roughly 35hp stock. The manual transmission is unsynchronized, and leads to the torque tube and banjo rearend. The drivetrains of all Model A's interchange. The Model A's, luckily, became favorites of restorers back in the 60's, and now the aftermarket has just about every single part reproduced and refined so you can practically build a whole car from scratch, save the core body structure. The car is very solid and reliable- mine was pulled from a barn, the points were filed, new gas was added and it fired right up. I have since freshened the motor and it's still running and driving strong after 78 years. The car is quite cramped by today's standards, but it's easy enough to drive. The handling is not the best, but what do you expect? The rumble seat is a nice feature for carrying your friends around, though, the 1928/29 models did not have a roll down window available so talking to them is not an option. My car has a top speed of about 65mph with minor modifications. The mechanical brakes do an adequate job if properly adjusted.
Both styles of Model A are destined to only rise in price. They are already a true classic, a timeless design (as evidenced by so many still driving today), but as the 32-34 coupes rise in price there needs to be an alternative for the common man. The Model A is that car!

I found this dealer very helpful to work with and the was even better that described. The haulers which we surcured through E-Bay. With this large transfered of money, the seller agreed to accept a bank transfer. We had the car in eight days from the time of purchase. Both the seller and the hauler were thought and conscientious. Great transaction.
