The Model A served as a replacement for the long-running Model T. It was introduced in 1928 but unlike the Model T, its production was brief, lasting just four years before it was displaced by another model. Ford introduced an eight-cylinder model in 1932, upstaging rival Chevrolet's six-cylinder engine in the process. At this point in history, many other companies offered eight-cylinder models, but Ford's represented the first to be offered in a low-price, mass-produced car.
1933 brought longer and wider bodies, new grilles, 17-inch wheels, and streamlined styling. The cast iron flathead V-8 displaced 221 cubic inches and offered 75 horsepower. Its popularity was so great that Ford would discontinue its four-cylinder engine in March of the 1934 model year.
This particular V-8 Roadster has been in the care of its current owner for over three decades. Prior to this, it was given a no-expense-spared restoration more than 35 years ago by Enfield Auto Restoration. It is a former Dearborn Award-winner from the Early Ford V-8 Club, having scored as high as 999 points, in addition to earning Best of Show honors in Rhinebeck, New York. Further, it was an AACA Senior National First Prize winner in 1987.
This Ford is finished in black with a tan canvas roof and rides on wide whitewall tires fitted to red wheels. It has dual cowl lights, horns, and taillights, and a rear-mounted spare.
Since the restoration was completed, the car has traveled fewer than 300 miles.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2022
