Seller's comments about 1929' Ford Model A

1929 Ford Model A Roadster Pickup For consignment, a 1929 Ford Model a Roadster pickup, a Brookville steel bodied and bedded street rod that is wonderfully clean and simple and elicits smiles by just looking at the thing! Exterior Put the polish away, at least, the paint polish because this car is done in a flat hue of Olive Drab. Oh sure, youll have to bring out the Mothers for the grille surround, window frames and 15-inch Weld DragLite wheels, but theres no gleam to the body and thats a refreshing take! The rounded cowl gives way to straight doors and side panels, along with flat sidewalls of the small bed in back. Wooden stakes fence in any contents you may carry and look good with or without cargo, but youll always have a satin black rollbar in the bed which could also double as handle for your parade occupant be it the mayor of your town or Miss Your Town waving from the back while standing on richly stained planks and aluminum rails. Exhaust is visible under the car wearing black heat shields like gas blocks on an A/R and exiting toward the ground. An upright windscreen wears side wind guards while the open wheels carry tires with a mid 2023 date code. We could not find exterior flaws on this car. Interior Black vinyl cards serve as the simple door panels and the black continues onto the low back bucket seats, robustly padded and low on the floor. A 4 spoke steering wheel shares its column with the universal signal switch. The tan dash houses a variety of gauges including a Moon tach and a pair of AutoMeter units in antique beige. On the floor, a Mr. Gasket shifter next to the E-brake lever, all surrounded by cut to fit black loop carpet on the flat floor under round pedals. Drivetrain Upfront, a show worthy 350ci V8 with a 4-barrel Edelbrock carburetor on top and powder coated headers down low. There are numerous polished or coated components and brackets and it all looks great. Underneath, we have a Saginaw 4-speed manual transmission sending power to the 10 bolt axle out back. Disc brakes live up front, and drums are on the back. Undercarriage In a word, spotless. The underside is basically show worthy as well without a trace of surface rust, errant fluids, or road dirt of any kind. Behind the heat shields, the exhaust and their glasspack style mufflers are heat wrapped while the underside of the bed is painted fuchsia. Suspension consists of a 4 bar and transverse leaf spring up front and a 4 bar with coilovers in the rear, and its all essentially visible to the adoring public! Drive-Ability We dont want to call it a toy, but theres something about the size and layout of this car that makes you feel like a giddy 8 year-old getting your turn on the car ride at Steel Pier in 1972, or maybe thats just me. Anyway, the raucous exhaust invites you to put your foot in it, but were happy to cruise at respectable speeds around the loop. With legs out in front, its a relaxed position in an open air ride with more than enough power underfoot, good tracking, great handling, and brakes that work on demand. Plus, all functions work as intended. 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. What a great little rod! Its got everything you need and nothing more. Think of the hours youll save not having to polish paint! More time to hop in and enjoy. Sorry kids, its just me and mom this time, no back seats! Then you both giggle hysterically as you pull away, knowing full well theyll get their ride too. Yep, this one is for fun and whether youre the owner or onlooker, youre going to enjoy this one. But to be the owner, youll have to call first!
