Highly-correct, and priced-right, this 1929 Ford Model A Roadster is exactly what you want when looking for true vintage charm. The Model A is an iconic favorite because you get a Henry Ford steel body, but with plenty more style than the Model T. You see it in the Arabian Sand Light color, which is correct for a Model A. It's part of a two-tone with the black that's nicely coordinated as they interweave the two colors through out the body. This even has the correct straw-colored pinstripe and matching wheels, which gives this roadster an almost triple-tone effect. And you'll really love all the details on this example, like the quail hood mascot, split rear bumper that frames the mounted spare tire, and the iconic rumble seat. There's a simple charm that awaits you when you open the door. Black vinyl on the seats, matching door panels, and a durable rubber mat on the floor give this roadster a robust look. And everything feels authentic from the classic four-spoke steering wheel to the bright instrument panel. So this is the roadster you can use for everything from the parade route to enjoying a Sunday drive. The classic 200 cubic-inch motor is the backbone of the Ford Motor Company, so when it's a runner like this, you feel instantly connected with history with every chug of the exhaust. It has been correctly updated for usability with an alternator and plenty of signs of good maintenance. The torquey engine is great for parade routes and can keep up with traffic around town. The three-speed manual transmission shifts cleanly with a quick double-clutch and the brakes are effective for a vehicle with modest performance and light weight. In total, this nearly 90-year-old is still a fun runabout. Nicely presented and nicely priced, this is the right Model A roadster for those people who love driving their history. If that's you, it's time to hurry up and call today!
