Комментарии продавца про 1928' Ford Model A R Phaeton
To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' Hershey event, 10 - 11 October 2019. Rare early-production AR modelExcellent club support through Model A Restorers ClubExtensive file of receipts documenting restoration Much more complex than the Model T that preceded it, the Model A comprised 6,800 parts compared to its simpler predecessor, which was made up of 5,000 parts. The ruggedly constructed Model A featured Ford’s first installation of safety glass in all windows. Ford continued to build the Model A through 1932, when it introduced its new V-8.ARs are among the very first Model As to have been built, and as such, they do not have some of the running changes of the regular production vehicles, for which production began full-scale after Christmas 1927. Most noticeable is the lack of exterior door handles on AR models. Priced at $460, this phaeton was one of 633,594 examples produced in the calendar year 1928. Painted a classic combination of Cordoba Tan with black accents and red pinstripes, it is fitted with an accessory trunk, dual side-mounted spares with canvas covers, a Moto-meter, and orange-painted wire wheels. The tan canvas top has contrasting darker tan welting, which nicely matches the interior.Documents indicate ownership of the car was transferred from Dr. William Yancy to Dick Mulloy, also of Louisville, Kentucky, in 1974. Mr. Mulloy was a close friend of Clyde Ensor Sr., who later purchased the car. Mulloy, a renowned aviator, was in his college days one of the very few football players to have participated in Rose Bowl, Orange Bowl, and Sugar Bowl games. The car was purchased by the consigner from Mr. Ensor in 2010. While in the possession of both the consigner and Mr. Ensor, it has been used sparingly and stored in a climate-controlled facility.To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website
