"1929 Ford Model A Tudor Sedan
The Tudor sedan body style was one of the first Model A body styles. In fact, the ""mysterious new Ford"" seen on the streets of Detroit in the fall of 1927 was indeed the new Model A Tudor Sedan. The most popular of all Model A body styles, the Standard Tudor was available in all four Model A years, with well over 1.25 million of them being built between 1927 and 1931.
For consignment, a 1929 Ford Model A Tudor sedan showing 6,090 miles, but the true miles are unknown. Restored by an AACA member in the mid 1990's after arriving in pieces, this one will get your attention whether you're into Model A's or not!
Exterior
This A is a handsome piece, painted with a coat of Vermillion Red, contrasted by the flowing black fenders and running boards. A band of dark red runs along the waistline and winds around back, bordering the glossy black C-pillars. That dark red is picked up by the 21-inch wire wheels wrapped in white wall tires. The chrome bumpers and grille shell, along with the motometer that sits above it, all look to be in great shape. The roof and visor also present very well over the classic profile; tall and stately with large windows and a perfectly vertical windscreen, flanked on each side by mirrors. Attention to detail is found in the louver pinstriping which matches the border lines of the dark red side feature. Imperfections include a random chips throughout on the black and red, scratches and chips on the cowl, typical hinge chips, general inclusions, scratches, and cracks,
Interior
Light brown tweed door panels warmly greet you upon opening the doors. The pleated storage pouch, (aka map pocket), is a charming feature that precedes by 100 years the molded plastic cup holders and phone chargers of today's cars, but effective for the time. More brown tweed covers the front bucket seats in fine fashion as well and we are always drawn to the cozy rear bench of these seats which are tweed lined little rooms devoid of distractions and looking comfortable. A black 4 spoke steering wheel shows well while the clover leaf plate around the gauge cluster in the center of the red dash is reflective but could use a polish. A floor mounted shifter sits on a rubber mat over brown carpet in very nice condition. The soft cloth headliner and its subtle puffiness is fully intact.
Drivetrain
A clean 201ci inline 4 cylinder engine is here and is rated at 40 horsepower, more than adequate for when it was new and still capable of keeping up with modern traffic. It's fed by a 1-barrel carburetor and tied to a 3-speed manual transmission which spins the driveshaft to 3.78 gearing in the rear axle. The car retains its 6 volt system.
Undercarriage
Light patina and some residual oil is found on the otherwise clean underside where a single exhaust flows through a stock style muffler and terminates under the car. Mechanical drum brakes are on all four wheels and transverse leaf springs are at both ends as well. We do note a few small hole patches underneath and a rusted corner of the door bottom that seems to be halted.
Drive-Ability
C'mon John Boy, let's take a ride to Godsey's General Store and pick up some beans for supper tonight. We step right back in time, adjust the choke, and start this vibrant red antique up. Horse carriage height and big windows mean great visibility and the car putted along smoothly and for 1929, rather swiftly. We're pleased to find all functions, other than the wipers and clock, working. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
Other than some hot rodded Model A's that have come through our Hallowed Halls, this is the first bright red one in stock configuration. Only fire engines were red in 1932 so this could be seen as the Fire Chief's car, or simply a classic Model A with a modern twist on color. It got our attention immediately, and we're guessing we're not alone.
