Ford Model A 1929

General description : 1929 Ford Model A Phaeton After producing 17 million units by 1927 the Ford Motor Company needed a change.  Henry Ford was constantly looking towards the future and hoped to improve the design and construction of his successful Model T.  Under the eye of Henry's son, Edsel, the cars were redone with new aesthetics that brought a lot of attention from the public.  They restarted the alphabet, naming it the Model A, and quickly orders began rolling in.  In fact, once unveiled they quickly fell behind on production due to the publics desire.  There were a few body styles available but one of the most unique was the Phaeton.  This 1929 is one of those Phaetons meaning it has a large convertible top.  The name comes from the open 4 wheel horse drawn carriages of the 18th and 19th century.  This '29 is in good condition and painted in a two tone Yellow with Black fenders.  Brown paint with a pinstripe runs the length of the upper body line.  The White convertible soft top is in good condition and raises/lowers easily.  These cars were meant to be open air roadsters so there are no side windows but the glass front windshield is in good shape and does push out like they did originally.  It wears its original bumpers with its factory style split rear bumper to give easy access to the original spare.  The car rides on painted to match Yellow spoke wheels and the tires are in good shape. Powering the car down the road is a new rebuilt 200.5ci inline 4 cylinder motor.   It runs well and the car is still 6 volt but has been upgraded with an alternator.  Backing that is a 3 speed manual transmission and all the other mechanical components are stock. The interior features Brown upholstery that is in good condition.  Model A's are notoriously small on the inside but being a Phaeton this one is much more roomy.  These cars featured dual bench seats and the steel on the back of the front seat was a unique design to divide the front and rear compartments.  The Yellow and Black painted dash has the original style chrome gauge cluster with 3,933 miles showing on the odometer.  It has the stock pedal set up and in front of the driver sits the factory 4 spoke steering wheel. This Phaeton is a really neat car that would be perfect for local cruise ins and parades.  Take it home for $24,500.00!

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
