Seller's comments about 1931' Ford Model A

Not all Ford Model A roadsters were created equal. Yes, each original one is a rare sight because it was not turned into a hot rod, but there were extraordinary Deluxe models that had a regal appearance. And with the excellent color combination on this 1931 Ford Model A Rumble Seat Roadster, its hard to find a better way to experience vintage motoring. The Model A was the Ford Motor Companys dive into style, and the 40-B Deluxe roadster like this one was one of the best ways they showed it. This starts with the two-tone red and black paint that looks great while still appearing period-correct. Even white these bold colors, the whitewall tires and yellow wheels are nice standouts. Thats a good thing, because part of what makes it a Deluxe model are the spares mounted in each fender. The rear folding luggage rack is made of wood with a chrome surround. And if you like that brightwork, the Deluxe model not only came with the classic bumpers and grille, but also the Deluxes sports-style windshield has great-looking chrome plating. And youll really love all the details on this example, such as the crisp tan folding top with artful wood bracing, etched side wind deflector glass, and step plates for both the front and iconic rumble seat. The interior give you that classic Model A feeling with the large four-spoke steering wheel, cushy but durable seating, and the gauges all centrally housed in a bright panel. There are even some nice details, like how the exteriors two-tone returns on the dash. This is the ideal sunny day friend, and if you have more than one companion on your ambling road trips, the rumble seat is even upholstered to match the front seats. Under the hood is a well-maintained package that still has the classic look you love. Its a period correct 201 cubic-inch four-cylinder motor. You can spot the right vintage pieces like the green block and downdraft carburetor. But there are also nicely integrated upgrades like the 12-volt electrical system and an alternator to make it easier for carefree motoring. When youre driving with the top down on a country road, this strong-running Ford makes an industrial symphony of simplicity. The three-speed manual transmission shifts cleanly with a solid mechanical feel that makes you love pre-war motoring. So, in total, this classic Ford is still a fun runabout. Theres less than 2,900 miles on this Ford since completing its restoration. So you get a sharp-looking Model A with the desirable rumble seat. Thats the kind of irresistible icon you need to get your hands on right now. Call today!!!
