1931 FORD MODEL A ROADSTER Engine No. A1458475 Green with black fenders and brown leather interior Engine: four-cylinder, 200.5 cu. in., 40hp; Gearbox: standard Model A three-speed; Suspension: semi-elliptic transverse front and rear; Brakes: four wheel mechanical drum. Left hand drive. In 1927, after more than 19 years and more than 15 million vehicles, Ford ended the Model T line. In 1928, after tremendous cost and downtime for retooling, Ford moved production to the gigantic new River Rouge plant and started the Model A series. Anticipation of the new line was so high that the response was tremendous. In 1928 Ford also returned to competition in the luxury market with the introduction of the Model A Town Car or Brougham design which was priced at $1,200 or about 1 times the price of the Tudor Sedan. In 1929 the production of the Town Car continued and the price was raised to $1,450 which was $950 more than the Roadster - the only difference being the coachwork. That year the Ford payroll topped $300 million annually and Ford announced a $7 a day minimum wage. The Model A line, although similar to the 'T' with a four-cylinder L-head engine and semi-elliptic transverse springs front and rear, was innovative and far more complex. The engine was nearly twice as powerful as the 'T' and could attain a top speed of approximately 65mph, depending upon the body style. The magneto was replaced with a modern battery and ignition system allowing it to be more driver-friendly. More improvements included a sliding-gear transmission, four-wheel mechanical brakes and hydraulic shock absorbers. Standard equipment included combination stop and tail lights, a horn and a windshield wiper. It is believed that this delightful Model A Roadster was acquired from the well known Pages Model A Garage in Haverhill, NH. It is in extremely presentable condition and appears to have had very limited use since restoration. It comes with the desirable etched wind wings. The Model A Roadster with rumble seat offers an inexpensive entry into the world of vintage motoring.
