Henry Ford was not the first person to put a “horseless carriage” on the roads. However, he is credited with establishing mass production of automobiles, along with the moving assembly line. These advances that Ford was responsible for changed the course of the automobile forever. In 1908 Ford released the Model T. The Model T gave transportation to the masses; and in 1928 it was time for a new Ford product, so the Model A was introduced and was immediately accepted.

The restored Model A Deluxe Roadster offered here is finished with lovely Washington Blue paint and black painted fenders over a nicely presented saddle interior. The exterior is adorned with “straw wheels,” whitewall tires, dual side-mount spare tires with stainless covers, etched glass windwings, radiator stone guard, quail radiator ornament, cowl lights, running board step plates, side curtains and a rear luggage rack with trunk. Powering this Ford is a 201-cid, 40-hp inline four-cylinder engine that is paired with a three-speed manual transmission.
