Ford Model A 200ci Inline 4 1931
General description :
One Family Owned
We like the Ford Model A Roadster because it's one of those great classics that don't discriminate. They can be appreciated by nearly anyone no matter their mechanical skill or financial ability. This 1931 Model A Roadster is the perfect example of an affordable classic that chugs down the road with ease and gets smiles wherever it goes.
The '31 convertible is one of the best ways to enjoy the Model A. The two-tone Blue and black paint keeps everything period correct, while at the same time, gives this classic a nice impression of sophistication, especially when the sunlight hits it to give the to two deep colors a true distinction.
Open the door and you'll see the seats, door panels, and top are believed to be original. Everything feels authentic from the classic four-spoke steering wheel to the bright instrument panel. But no one has tried to ruin this time machines atmosphere with bulky aftermarket parts like air conditioning or a radio. Instead, this thoroughly correct interior means raising the front windshield and putting the top down to get your ventilation the way families did a few generations ago. This '31 has had paint and body work, along with the motor being rebuilt 20 plus years ago and at the time of rebuilding the motor, the motor has had hardened valve seats put in to be able to run on unleaded gas.
The engine has been under the good maintenance of a careful owner/driver. So, you have a strong runner. This classic motor is the backbone of the Ford Motor Company, so when it's a runner like this, you feel instantly connected with history with every chug of the exhaust. The torquey engine is great for parade routes and can keep up with traffic around town. The three-speed manual transmission shifts cleanly with a quick double-clutch and the brakes are effective for a vehicle with modest performance and light weight. In total, this 85+ year-old is still a fun runabout.
Great colors, great material, and a great price - this is the right Model A for those people who love driving their history. If that's you, it's time to hurry up and call today!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
