Seller's comments about 1929' Ford Model A

1929 Ford Model A Tudor Sedan For consignment, a 1929 Ford Model A Tudor sedan done up as a hot rod build that includes body work on the steel and fiberglass fenders, and a 350ci V8 under the hood. With the addition of stunning paint and a leather interior, what we have here is a nice car! Exterior Borrowed from Lexus, this Brandywine paint covers the car with all the richness of a fine wine, deep, dark, and liquid. The mesh grille and chrome radiator shell present some of the only contrast to the body and shine while a tan, pinstripe design embellishes the nose, an ode to vintage hot rodding, to be sure. A 3 chop is further enhanced by the filling of seams, creating smooth edges most evident at the windshield, now integrated with the roof with elongated accent humps. The taillights are frenched and the door handles shaved, so the only protrusions are the shiny side mirrors and the custom running board that connects the pontoon fiberglass fenders. Cragar SS wheels are a great choice here and theyre staggered with 14-inchers in front and 15-inchers in the rear and they carry tires with an early 2019 date code and tucked up close to the fenders. The only imperfection we could find was some flex cracks in the paint of a front fender. Interior Beginning with the door panels, the leather of choice here is a beige textured material that has a sort of western wear to it, like a well used saddle, and the armrests resemble the horns of a longhorn steer. This veers from the one dimensional smooth colors were used to seeing on custom interiors and a welcome variance. It continues on the front, low back bucket seats with a V-pattern stitched into the back and the rear bench adopts the same pattern while being surrounded by the material on the walls for a uniform and coordinated clean interior. A wood rimmed Grant steering wheel front a body colored dash with a wood gauge cluster insert and a series of black faced AutoMeter gauges centered in the dashboard. Vintage Air is built in at the bottom and a Lokar shifter rises from the floor wearing a burgundy boot and surrounded by plush burgundy carpet. Our western leather and V pattern covers the ceiling in fine fashion where it houses two dome lights and an AM/FM/CD radio on the header panel. Drivetrain Open to the air just under the hood is a super clean 350ci power plant with an Edelbrock intake manifold and an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor to fuel the V8. A TH350 3-speed automatic transmission sends power to the Ford 9 in back and power brakes are onboard with discs in front and drums in the back. Headers begin the exhaust process with a visible presence on each side of the engine compartment. Undercarriage The Lexus paint makes its way underneath and coats the frame and rear differential. It doesnt shine like it does topside, and the underside has evidence of use, but is overall clean and grease free and what surface rust we see is reserved for some uncoated nuts and bolts and on springs. In front, a Heidts Mustang II style unit provides the front suspension while a 4 link with coilovers is out back. The dual exhaust flows through glasspack style mufflers before exiting the chrome tips towards the center of the custom rear panel. The pans are chromed underneath, and we note a drop or two on the flywheel cover and one on the oil pan. Drive-Ability A warm comfortable interior provides an inviting place to spend some time and as much as wed like to sit in the back and be chauffeured, we must pilot this fine ride. The 350 starts up with a healthy howl through the exhaust and this low slung Tudor hits the test loop with excellent handling and arrow straight tracking. More than adequate acceleration is provided by the V8 and the clear, concise dash panel instills confidence in the drive as all meters register information. All other functions work as well including the added turn signals and third brake light out back. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. We know youre on a search for a fine street rod from the late 20s and early 30s and are proud to represent this car in our Hallowed Halls. This is a show stopping example that is essentially a turn key show car with many excellent attributes. It was done right and lacks any over customization where personal choices shrink the audience appeal. As we say in the biz, this is a nice car.
