Ford Model A Deluxe Cabriolet

The Ford Model A came as the response from Ford to a growing competition on the U.S. car marketplace. This car launched in 1930. Its Model T produced from 1909 to 1927 had been overwhelmingly dominant until the mid-1920s, when competitors such as General Motors finally managed to adopt some of Ford’s production methods and growing more and more popular, thanks to more possibilities in terms of engines and customization.

Over its four-year career, the Model A was proposed with no less than 35 different body variants and more than 4.8 million Model As were sold.
In 1930, the Model A maintained its popularity with the addition of wider fenders, a higher hood line, and a choice of stainless steel or nickel-plated radiators. Balloon tires, which decreased in diameter from 21 to 19 inches, gave the car a lower stance and a fresh look. A few options on the Model A included a single side mount, a radiator ornament, wind vanes, a radiator stone guard and a rear-view mirror.
The Model A we are offering for sale is one of the most desirable coachworks produced by Ford. 3 Roadster types were available, the Roadster Deluxe being the middle-range choice. Within the various options available to buyers, this particular Model A is equipped with a rumble seat and the Cabriolet chrome package.
