Description
OFFERED AT NO RESERVE
By 1927, Ford's dominance in vehicle sales was fading. The Model T had been in production for nearly two decades and had become dated and obsolete. The Model A made its debut in 1927, featuring a 201ci L-head inline-four engine, which was mated to a sliding-gear three-speed manual transmission, finally putting to bed, the archaic and complex planetary unit from the T.
Also new was a conventional three-pedal arrangement, an on-board electric starter, four-wheel mechanical drum brakes, and a full line of new body styles, including Tudor and Fordor sedans, coupes, roadsters, phaetons, and commercial vehicles. Among these, the Model A Fordor appealed heavily to families and businessmen who wanted easier rear seat access and a more formal, spacious interior.
This '30 Fordor has been in the seller’s family for approximately 63 years and is finished in maroon and black with red coach stripes over beige mohair upholstery. Power comes from a 201ci L-head inline-four paired with a sliding-gear three-speed manual transmission. Service under current ownership is reported to have included a rebuild of the engine, carburetor, and distributor, and replacement of the starter wiring and the intake and exhaust manifolds. This Ford Model A Fordor Sedan is now offered at no reserve with a clean Michigan title in the seller’s name.
