Ford Model A Roadster – 1929 | Drivers Condition € 17.950,--
What a delightful sight! This 1929 Ford Model A Roadster possesses exactly the kind of presence you would expect from a true classic. Finished in stylish Balsam Green paired with black fenders, this Roadster makes for a remarkably charming package.
The distinctive grille—adorned with an elegant radiator mascot and an integrated temperature gauge—gives the front end its iconic look. The chrome trim is in tidy, well-used condition. The paintwork reveals that this Ford hasn’t just sat idle over the decades; it has done exactly what it was built for: driving! Consequently, the paint shows signs of oxidation in various places. It lacks a showroom shine, but instead boasts an authentic patina that perfectly suits the car’s character. The rear fenders have recently been repaired and repainted.
The Roadster sits on beige wire wheels fitted with good tires. A charming and practical touch is the auxiliary fuel tank mounted on the running board.
The Interior
The interior is upholstered in black vinyl and remains in neat condition. The comfortable seating invites you to head out for a lovely drive. From behind the steering wheel, you look out over the beautiful, wonderfully simple dashboard—a hallmark of why the Model A is so beloved.
Mechanics and Driving Experience
Under the hood lies the indestructible 3,286cc four-cylinder engine, producing 40 hp. While that might sound modest by today’s standards, don’t be fooled by the numbers; the engine responds eagerly, allowing this Roadster to keep pace with modern traffic with ease.
The engine has recently undergone extensive maintenance and is ready for many more miles of enjoyment. The engine is paired with the characteristic, non-synchronized three-speed manual transmission—a setup that, with a little practice, is perfectly manageable.
A true driver’s car!
This is an exceptionally honest and delightful Ford Model A. It is not an over-restored showpiece meant only for display, but rather a classic that is ready to hit the road immediately. It’s the kind of car where you don’t have to fret over every tiny stone chip—a vehicle where the joy of driving comes first.It drives well, possesses a surprising amount of pep, and feels right at home on a scenic tour. This Roadster also makes for a fantastic companion for classic car rallies or drives through the woods.
In short: if you aren’t looking for a concours-condition show car, but rather a charming, characterful classic with a wonderfully authentic feel, then this Ford Model A Roadster is exactly what you need!
