When Henry Ford brought the production of his successful T to a close the whole world eagerly awaited the new version to the car that put America on wheels. This was no small task as the T was produced for almost two decades with Americans depending on the reliability and simplicity it offered. The Ford Motor Company worked hard to ensure that the T's replacement would live up to the expectations of millions and when the first 4000 Model A's were built in December of 1927 they were all snatched... up by eager customers by the end of the month. The rumble seat sport coupe was at the top of the line for coupes. They sold new for $530 which equates to roughly $7277 in today's time. They came with a soft top that does not fold down. The rear window does fold up with snaps allowing you to talk to people riding in the rumble seat or just enjoy a breeze. The Model A here has a rear mounted spare with cover as well. The underbody is beautiful and has been painted as well as the chassis. As you can see in the photos all of the nuts bolts and cotter pins have been replaced. The chrome is beautiful and shows well both inside and outside. The balsam green paint remains in great shape as well. The yellow pinstripe that breaks up the paint scheme accents the body well. The interior is in immaculate shape and shows very well. The car rides on Firestone whitewall tires mounted on 21 inch wire wheels. The engine and surrounding area are beautiful in every aspect and shows tremendously well. This is truly and investment grade Model A Sport Coupe that belongs in the finest of collections or can be enjoyed by any enthusiast.
