This 1929 Ford Model A was modified around 2016 with custom aluminum boattail bodywork and an 8BA flathead V8 with dual carburetors. Its a three-speed manual transmission, and the car has 19” wire wheels, hydraulic drum brakes, a drop front axle, and a grille guard. The cockpit is trimmed in tan upholstery and has a wooden dashboard, a banjo-style steering wheel, a polished shift knob, and Stewart-Warner gauges. Following the seller’s acquisition in 2018, the fuel pump and points were replaced, and dual Stromberg 97s were fitted. This custom Model A is now offered with a clean Massachusetts title in the seller’s name.
The seller tells us an employee of Cessna built the custom aluminum boattail bodywork, which was painted red. The fuel filler is mounted behind the seats.
The hood is louvered, and a grille guard is fitted up front. The car does not have a top or doors.
Wire-spoke 19″ wheels have been retained, and the car has transverse leaf springs and a drop front axle. Later-model hydraulic drum brakes were fitted.
The bench seat is trimmed in tan upholstery, and the matching trim snaps around the cabin. A step is provided on the right side.
The car has a banjo-style wheel and a polished shift knob. Stewart-Warner gauges are set in the body-color dashboard panel, which is surrounded by wood. The five-digit odometer indicates 50k miles, though total mileage is unknown.
The 8BA flathead V8 was installed by the previous owner, and it has Red’s headers fitted. The seller had the radiator rebuilt, installed Stromberg 97 carburetors, and replaced the points and fuel pump.
The three-speed manual transmission is linked to the rear axle.
The car is titled as a 1929 Ford Model A Roadster using VIN M2982237 as stamped above.
