Ford Model A 1931
General description :
The 1931 Ford Model A is a popular choice for hot rod enthusiasts due to its classic design and availability. When it comes to building a hot rod, there are countless variations and modifications that can be done, but this one was done right!
Starting with an all-steel Brookville body with a 4' chopped top sitting on a custom Riley frame. The team at DiDomenico Hotrods in Cromwell, CT went to work perfecting the exterior then applied PPG Carmel Corn Gold/Base Coat Clear paint that is flawless.
Once the body was ready the car went off to Shoreline Auto Upholstery in Chester, CT to have the bench seat covered in white with gold trim and carpet. All this work is topped off with a Stay-Fast Oyster White lift off cloth top, total perfection!
Now time to put something between the frame rails so Carlquist in Oakville, CT built the 327ci Tri-Power Chevy small block with 317 horsepower that is matted up to a Turbo 350 automatic transmission. Out back is a Currie 9' rear end with 3.50 Posi all in the custom narrowed housing.
Nothing says cool old school Hot Rod like big and little wide whitewall tires! Radir Wheels mounted with Coker wide whitewall tires are ready to hit the pavement.
Suspension is done period correct with Vega style steering box, I-beam front axle that has a 4' drop along with being drilled and chromed. Holding all that in place is the split wishbone radius rods which are also chromed. To bring this custom build to a stop are front disc brakes disguised as So-Cal Buick-style drums along with drum rear brakes.
No creature comforts here, just you and the open road with Classic Instruments keeping an eye on the engine while you cruise along listening to the sound of that well built Chevy small block.

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
