1930 Ford Model A Town Sedan

The Model A received a significant facelift in 1930. Wider fenders, a deeper radiator shell and the elimination of the cowl stanchion contributed to its fresh look. Options for the year included an external sun-visor, a rear luggage rack, a rear-view mirror and a spare tire lock.

The Model T Ford put America on the road but had become outdated by 1927 and the Model A was its replacement in 1928.

Prices ranged from US $385 for a roadster to $570 for the top-of-the-line Fordor. The engine was an L-head 4-cylinder with a displacement of 201 cubic-inches. Typical fuel consumption was between 20 and 30 mpg.

This particular automobile is a tribute to a husband and wife performing a total restoration themselves. The car was purchased in 1981 from its original owner's grand-daughter. While the car has just traveled 52,000 miles, it acquired an extensive restoration which included wood replacement and a complete engine re-build. The restoration was completed in 1985. The car is regularly used in car shows and parades and the occasional family wedding.
