Ford Model A 200 ci 4 cylinder 1929

General description : STRONG 200 CI FLATHEAD 4, 3-SPEED, 12-VOLT UPGRADE, TURN-KEY TUDOR, NICE RESTO!!

Not every car has to be a show piece, and this 1929 Ford Model A tudor sedan shows you how easy it is to get into the hobby for not a lot of cash. If your interest runs towards early iron, you can't do much better than a Model A, and this one offers use-it-now utility with a great look and plenty of practicality. It's also a ball to drive!
Sedans are a great way to enjoy old cars. Sure, the roadsters and phaetons get all the attention, but as soon as the weather turns rainy or cold, everyone will be eyeing your roll-up windows and spacious back seat. The Model A looks quite stylish with two doors, too, showing off ideal proportions that make the small car look impressive. The blue paint is in excellent shape, and it has a bright, honest look that suits the workaday Model A. There are signs of use because someone truly loved this car and used it as intended, but nothing stands out and it looks great even from a few feet away. Panel fit is decent and it doesn't look like this car was ever rusty, and the crisp edges on the body moldings mean there are no nasty surprises hiding underneath. Straw-colored pinstripes highlight the belt moldings, a detail that didn't cost Henry all that much but paid big dividends in terms of how upscale the cars looked. The black fenders were the only available color on a Model A, and the bright pieces like the radiator and headlights are chrome instead of the original nickel for easy maintenance.
The interior has the same finished look as the exterior, nicely finished and ideal for touring. The tudor sedan was the best seller and with a pair of bucket seats up front, it's easy for everyone to get comfortable. Gray cloth upholstery makes sure the seats are comfortable and they don't show any rips, tears or other issues, so it's ready to enjoy. There's room for five and the back seat in particular is impressively spacious with plenty of legroom. The traditional Model A center instrument panel shines up nicely and the hard rubber steering wheel is in fantastic shape for its age. Front seat passengers get a rubber mat while there are correct carpets in back, and both door panels have their own map pockets, which is handy in a car where the dashboard is also the gas tank. And for affordable transportation, the little details like the window garnish moldings and door hardware are nicely detailed.
The same 200 cubic inch inline four that powers all Model As lives in this one, and it makes the same happy sounds and makes the same impressive torque. The sturdy little cast iron motor is as reliable as a cinder block and still runs all its original components, including an updraft carb, original distributor, and generator. Recent hoses and correct clamps are a nice touch, and the block wears correct Ford Green paint that shows a bit of age. The 3-speed manual transmission is non-synchronized, but double-clutching is easy, and the gear ratios are well-suited to around-town driving. Bright wire wheels are correct and carry right-sized 4.75/5.00-21 Firestone blackwalls.
Old cars can be a ton of fun, especially when they run well and don't cost a fortune. This Model A will teach you the basics and will always be ready when you are. 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.

Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
