Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The 1928–1931 Ford Model A is one of the most important vehicles in automotive history. Designed to replace the groundbreaking Model T, the stylish Model A was a bridge between today’s modern cars and their more primitive predecessors. The Model A was a longer car with a longer wheelbase, came standard with a rugged steel chassis, electric starter, and three-speed transmission, and was offered in coupe, convertible, sedan, and truck body styles. And with a 200 cu-in four cylinder producing 40 horsepower, Model As were known as both stylish and exciting automobiles.

In just four years, more than four million Model As were produced, and these flathead-powered Fords continue to have a robust and passionate enthusiast following nearly 100 years later.

This two-tone Model A Coupe recently underwent a comprehensive, 800-hour mechanical restoration. With a more powerful engine, upgraded drivetrain, suspension, and brakes, and refreshed body and interior, it’s ready for whatever adventures its new owner can dream up.
