MotoeXotica Classic Cars is please to present this 1930 Ford Model A Sport Coupe with rumble seat. This handsome coupe spent the last 30 years with same owner who did a full restoration and placed the Model A on display in a museum located in central Indiana for many years.
Finished in Andalusite Blue over black, the car’s paint and trim are in very good overall condition. Note that the paint on tis car is not crazed but polished instead. This A-bone’s window panels are clear and intact, including its crank-out windshield, while its lights, including the optional cowl lights are haze-free and look great. This model also has the optional stainless steel radiator cowling, headlamp housings and dual side-mounted spare tires, complete with wire wheels and Ford covers.
The bodywork is solid and straight, the chrome bumpers look good, the wood-and-metal luggage rack in the rear folds down for storage, the engine bay is very tidy and the runningboards are well done. This Model A rolls on Firestone gum-dipped wide whitewall tires, size 4.75/5.00-19 at all four corners and the tires surround black factory wire wheels.
Under the vee’d hood is Ford’s ubiquitous 201 CID L-head inline four-cylinder engine. It is buttoned to a three-speed sliding gear manual transmission and a 3.77 rear end.
Inside, the brown cloth bench seat is in excellent shape, as is the complementing carpet. The matching headliner and four-spoke steering wheel are also in fine condition. The blue metal dash, with its minimal instrumentation in the center, looks excellent while the inner door panels are in very good condition but the fuel gauge is inoperable.
For 1930, the car received a moderate facelift, put larger tires on smaller wheels, had wider fenders and a deeper radiator shell than the previous model year plus the cowl stanchion had been eliminated.
Prices for the Model A ranged from $385 for a roadster to $1400 for the top-of-the-line Town Car. The engine was a 201 CID L-head inline four with a top speed was around 65 mph. The Model A had a 103.5-inch wheelbase. The transmission was a conventional unsynchronized three-speed sliding gear manual 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 came in a wide variety of styles including a Coupe (Standard and Deluxe), Business Coupe, Sport Coupe, Roadster Coupe (Standard and Deluxe), Convertible Cabriolet, Convertible Sedan, Phaeton (Standard and Deluxe), Tudor Sedan (Standard and Deluxe), Town Car, Fordor (five-window standard, three-window deluxe), Victoria, Town Sedan, Station Wagon, Taxicab, Truck, and Commercial.
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.

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
