"1931 Ford Model A Coupe
So you think Model A enthusiasm is fading out? Guys aging out of the Model A hobby? Well, guess again. In our more than six years in business, dozens of Model A's have left the mall with a new owner. We must admit, it's been a little surprising to us too, but we're thrilled to have represented so many fine automobiles. They're incredibly varied and versatile and different iterations of 1931 Model A's have come through our Hallowed Halls; Fordor sedans, coupes, roadsters, Victorias, pickups, delivery panels, huckster woodies, Tudors, phaetons, and of course, a slew of hot rods.
For consignment, another winner, a 1931 Ford Model A coupe showing 108,924 miles, but the true miles are unknown. The car was restored between 1991 and 1992 soon after our consignor purchased it and the engine was rebuilt in 1994.
Exterior
The two tone paint job sandwiches Ford Maroon between a black cab and black lower, while parallel red pinstripes augment the shoulder line and continue through the black stripes that run the edge of the engine cover. The curved fenders, lower body panel, and adjoining running boards are black as well. Our example has well minded gaps throughout, is rust free, and the paint is still looking deep and shiny but does have a few scratches on the fenders. All glass is clear, chrome trimmings are excellent and not pitted or faded. This chrome includes the radiator surround, headlight buckets, door handles, cowl trim, rear tail light housing, and dual ribbon bumpers on front and back. A polished flying quail radiator cap is now on and still shines leading the way. The roof is vinyl, and this is due to the fact that back in 1930 the technology did not exist to stamp a panel large enough to fit the entire roof, so it was left to be canvas with lath structure, modernized with vinyl. Out back a wood trunk holds tools and provides visual evidence of where the term ""trunk"" came from. 19-inch wire wheels in beautifully restored red paint are on all four corners and are wrapped in 4.75/5.00-19 wide whitewall rubber.
Interior
The interior features a refresh from Lebaron Bonney beginning with the tan mohair like door panels which are topped by wood and hold a pleated storage pocket along with full metal hardware. Column tufted broadcloth with beige piping makes for handsome and clean bench seats while brown vinyl covers the rumble seat for more resilience to the elements. Your typical four spoke steering wheel fronts chestnut colored wood on the dash header over maroon painted metal that houses the cloverleaf faceplate, ribbed in this example, housing the gauges and ignition, and it's all in great shape. Fantastically clean tan carpet is home to the shifter and handbrake along with a black heel pad while above us, the soft and stitched headliner is in nice shape.
Drivetrain
Lifting either side of the cowled hood we are greeted with a rebuilt inline 201ci 4 cylinder that appears in very well kept condition. A nice coating of steel green engine paint is in the engine bay along with wisps of surface rust. This engine is fed by a 1-barrel carburetor and has a 3-speed manual transmission attached to the back and sends power further behind to 3.78 gears in the rear axle. Mechanical drum brakes are in front and back and our consignor states that the wheel bearings and kingpins have recently been replaced.
Undercarriage
Clean and just a bit better than driver quality with some thin road dirt, minimal surface rust, and some residual oil appears on the pan and rear differential. Transverse leaf springs were the suspension of the era, and these are on the front and back. A single exhaust encounters a stock style muffler before snaking its way to terminate under the back of the car.
Drive-Ability
Starting is a breeze once you figure out the choke and which pedal to push, but it was off to the races with this car and on our test track it certainly did not break any speed record, but what it did do was run smooth as silk, smooth effortless shifting, and with a new steering column, turn in was effortless. The interior is comfortable, brakes are good, and every other functional item operates as it should! 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.
A well restored and sorted car showing the final year for the Model A. A car meant to be driven and enjoyed. This is a wonderful earlier restoration still holding its own which is a testament to the preservation of this beautiful example. Step inside this Model A and enjoy the warm cabin and classic looks.
