One glance at this 1930 Ford Model A and you're instantly intrigued. But beyond all the custom touches that range from real wood trim to Bonnie & Clyde decals, lies a very solid legendary Ford that's turnkey ready for you to have some fun.To answer everyone's first question... No, someone did not shoot up a gorgeous Model A just to look like Bonnie & Clyde. Those are just decals, but it sure got your attention didn't it? Beyond the allure of classic outlaws, this vintage Ford has plenty more going for it. The Forest Green paint makes a statement that strikes a nice balance between those exceptionally dark Model As and the outlandish hot rods out there. We think it was specifically chosen because the earthtone it elements go nicely with the black on the vinyl roof and wheels, as well as the natural wood on the running boards and rear trunk (yes, it even come with that toy Tommy Gun you see in the pics!) This same paint also makes the brighter elements look their best like on the polished grille protector, headlight surrounds, and the bumpers. Even the whitewalls pop thanks to this well-chosen hue.Inside, the seats, side panels, and headliner have all been updated to a comfortable cloth. It doesn't look out of place in this 75+ year-old machine, but the moment you hop in, you can feel the added comfort that comes from modern material. All the correct iconic elements are in place from the classic four-spoke steering wheel, to the three-speed floor shifter, to the bright instrument panel. But there are also plenty of upgrades you enjoy, including newer operating switches that are clearly labeled, provisions for an AM/FM radio, and a auxiliary gauge package. So the interior is already set up to be an easy drive to the car show or along parade routes, and the upgrades don't stop there.Those who love driving their classics will love seeing this engine bay. That's Ford's classic 200 cubic-inch four-cylinder, but surrounding it are great upgrades like a 12-volt electrical system, four-blade fan, pressurized oiling system, newer/modern hoses, fresh belts, and rubber engine mounts. So yes, this Model A Tudor is far easier to live with than many of the others you've been looking at. On the road, the addition of hydraulic shocks and steering stabilizer makes the classic Ford feel much younger. Even with all these upgrades, the legendary torque-happy four-cylinder doesn't need any improvement. It has the power to pull this car around easily at in-town speeds, and with the regular maintenance this Model A received, you can join a parade route whenever you feel like it. So its an outlaw on the outside, comfortable inside, and updated under the hood for easy driving this is one amazing Model A for a surprisingly affordable price. So if you feel like being Bonnie & Clyde this weekend, better give us a call today!
