We’re pleased to present this 1931 Model A Roadster Pickup Street Rod that has had the same loving owner for the past 13 years, since 2005.  This is a magazine featured, show winning truck that has withstood the test of time.
This particular unit was built in Elkhart, Indiana by a tool and die maker, features lots of details and it was featured in Hot Rod Magazine.
Dressed in destinct purple, this truck’s paint and trim are in excellent order. The windshield is clear and intact while the side glass has been replaced with plexiglass. The Model A’s lights are in great shape, while its bodywork is solid and straight. The truck had its bumpers shaved but it has a removable custom top, a custom bed, a passenger side-mounted spare tire and a custom tonneau cover, all of which are in very good-to-excellent order. It even has a center high-mounted stoplight below the rear window.
Under that vee’d hood is Buick’s 231 CID V-6 buttoned to a Turbo Hydramatic 350 three-speed automatic transmission. Driver convenience features include air-conditioning, power steering, power brakes, heater, cruise control, tilt steering column, power antenna, vanity mirror and map lights.
Inside, the gray interior is in very good order. The bench seat looks great with its two-tone accents, which are repeated on the inner door panels. The contrasting black carpet is in satisfactory order while the headliner is in very good order. Facing the driver is a Grant GT three-spoke steering wheel that is in fine shape. The instrument pane, with its Classic Instrument gauges, l looks excellent and the inner door panels are in better-than-average order. The shift lever is in very good shape and even the glovebox is immaculate. Completing the interior is an AM/FM stereo with a CD player.
In the Model A, the engine was a water-cooled L-head inline 4-cylinder with a displacement of 201 CID. Top speed was around 65 mph. The Model A had a 103.5-inch wheelbase with a final drive ratio of 3.77:1. The transmission was a conventional three-speed sliding gear manual unsynchronized unit with a single speed reverse. The Model A had four-wheel mechanical drum brakes. The 1930 and 1931 models were available with stainless steel radiator cowling and headlamp housings.
The Model A was the first Ford to use the standard set of driver controls with conventional clutch and brake pedals, throttle, and gearshift. Previous Fords used controls that had become uncommon to drivers of other makes. The Model A’s fuel tank was situated in the cowl, between the engine compartment’s fire wall and the dash panel. It had a visual fuel gauge, and the fuel flowed to the carburetor by gravity. A rear-view mirror was optional. In cooler climates, owners could purchase an aftermarket cast iron unit to place over the exhaust manifold to provide heat to the cab. A small door provided adjustment of the amount of hot air entering the cab. The Model A was the first car to have safety glass in the windshield.
While there are many Model As out there, few are similar to this body style and fewer still are painted in show winning purple. If you desire a reliable and easy-driving show truck that will turn heads and perhaps win some prizes at a local car show or cruise event, drop by MotoeXotica Classic Cars today and take a look at this one.

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
