Ford Model A 201 cubic inch inline-4 1930

Allgemeine Beschreibung : Very nice older restoration. Accessorized with dual sidemounts, heater, wood stake sides, and much more. Upgraded with 6V alternator and pushbutton start. Drives great! A wonderfully detailed Model A pickup that’s ready to tour!

If you’re an old car fan, you should probably own a Model A at least once in your life. They’re fun to drive, there’s great club support, parts are easy to find, and they teach you everything you need to know about owning and operating an old car. And with the myriad of body styles available, there’s surely something that will appeal to every buyer—which was Henry Ford’s intention. The closed cab pickup was one of the more popular body styles for obvious reasons, but because of their use as tools, not many survive today. This well-dressed 1930 Ford Model A pickup was treated to a rather well-done restoration about 10 years ago and is still holding up nicely. The bright red paint with black fenders and beltline is a correct look, and when combined with the straw-colored wheels, it has a bright, cheerful look that we find quite appealing. This one is also loaded up with options and accessories, including dual sidemounts with metal covers and mirrors, etched windwings, a spotlight, driving lights, whitewall tires, dual taillights, and a set of custom wooden stake sides for the bed. The bed itself is lined in more matching wood that’s just beautifully finished with bright stainless rub strips, and obviously it doesn’t look like it has worked a day since it was finished. There are a few minor signs of use and age, but it still presents quite nicely and would make a fine driver for Model A club tours and events.

The interior is basic, as is the case with all Model As, but it does offer a few upgrades in the quest for greater comfort when touring. The black vinyl seat is properly upholstered and suitably comfortable for longer drives, and there’s a correct rubber mat on the floor that makes for easy maintenance. The steering wheel, shifter, and emergency brake handle are standard Model A fare, with the headlight controls in the center of the wheel hub. You’ll note a bank of switches just above the steering column, which control the fog lights and interior lights, while a small pushbutton on the far left is for the starter—the car has been converted to an electric solenoid rather than foot pedal starting. It works just fine and we kind of like the convenience. Other details include an accessory temperature gauge under the center-mounted instruments (all of which are operational) and aftermarket turn signals were added for safety. The box under the dash is a hot water heater, a nice improvement over the usual Model A hot air heater that were mediocre at best. A tilt open windshield provides nice ventilation and those windwings reduce buffeting, making this pickup pretty comfortable even on warm days.

The engine is Ford’s familiar 201 cubic inch inline-4, whose torque makes it a lot of fun to drive. On paper, 40 horsepower doesn’t seem like much but the Model A always feels light and eager. This one was rebuilt to stock specs and works like almost every other Model A out there—turn on the fuel, turn on the ignition, retard the spark slightly, and hit the starter. With a little choke, it fires easily and settles into a comfortable idle that’s unique to the Model A. Upgrades here include a 6-volt alternator, a relocated battery with cut-off switch, and an accessory Air-Maze flame arrestor on the carburetor. The gutsy little four cylinder moves the lightweight pickup with genuine enthusiasm and is quite happy cruising at 45 MPH. The 3-speed manual transmission isn’t synchronized, so it needs a quick double-clutch, but shift action is light and the clutch is easy to modulate. And don’t let the Model A’s mechanical brakes scare you—they’re plenty adequate for the car’s performance and weight. Steering is light and ride quality is, well, like a pickup truck, but that’s part of the charm. Beautiful 19-inch wire wheels carry properly-sized 4.75/5.00-19 Firestone wide whites, which look awesome on the well-dressed little truck.

Extras include a bunch of spare parts like a quail hood ornament, grille guard, and carburetor, plus factory-style jacks, a hand crank, and some spare hubcaps. A full-sized trunk is also included, which can be mounted in the bed for secure storage while touring.

We love Model As. They do everything right and if you’re looking for an easy-to-live-with hobby car, they’re a great choice. Whether you’re just starting out in the hobby or are an experienced collector looking for a pre-war experience, the Model A delivers. Add in the practicality of the pickup truck body style and the sensible upgrades, and this suddenly becomes a very easy argument to make. Find out why the Model A has been the world’s most popular collector car for 80 years and call today!
