Ford Model A Very rare top off the line 68B car, very well main 1929
General description :
If we were to apply an analogy from the music business to the early Ford models, then the Ford Model T would be the first number one hit album. The record with which Ford finally broke through to the general public. But for Ford not to be relegated to the one-hit wonders, Ford needed to come up with a stellar successor. That car was the Ford Model A which cemented Ford position as one of the most important car manufacturers. Between 1928 and 1931 Ford sold no less than 4,8 million Model A’s. We have a very rare top of the range edition of the Ford Model A convertible. Ford’s aim was to bring an open-top car to market, with all the comfort and luxury of a closed model. To achieve this the car was fitted with all sorts of extra's like wind-down windows, an extra heavy-duty hood, two spare wheels and additional lighting. Everything was done to make this Ford Model A edition an alternative to the luxury coupé. Unfortunately, it didn’t become the success Ford had hope for and this rare edition sold sporadically. Our car first hit the roads in 1929. It has already once been restored and is in fine condition. During the restoration, the car was sprayed in a stylish Brewster green and black. Following its restoration, the car was cherished and very well maintained. The car is both in visual as well as the mechanical sense in good condition. The panelwork is nice and thin with correct alignments. The paintwork has been properly looked after, showing only slights signs of use. The reupholstered interior is still in fine condition. The hood is also in good shape with a good fit. The 3.3 litre 4-cylinder engine is attached to a three-speed manual transmission. The engine runs well and the transmission action works precisely. This is now a very rare 1929 Ford Model A 68B convertible in the then top of the range edition and in great shape. Gallery Aaldering is Europe’s leading Classic Cars specialist since 1975!

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.
