22-Years-Family-Owned 1930 Ford Model A Tudor Sedan

Description

Ford replaced the Model T with the Model A for 1928, and by the time production ended in 1931, more than four million had been built. Power came from a 201ci inline-four rated at 40 horsepower and paired with a three-speed sliding-gear manual transmission. Four-wheel mechanical drum brakes, a safety-glass windshield, and conventional pedal controls modernized the car for its era. The 1931 model year brought final updates, including a stainless steel radiator shell, while the two-door Tudor Sedan was among the most popular body styles.

This 1930 Model A Tudor Sedan is finished in maroon with a black upper body and fenders, a black roof insert, and pin striping. It rides on wire wheels with wide whitewall tires and includes a rear-mounted spare. It is powered by a 201ci inline-four with a three-speed manual transmission, and the factory generator has been replaced with an alternator.

This 1930 Ford Model A Tudor Sedan is now offered by the seller on behalf of the previous owner's estate with a clean Washington title.

Additional Information

From the seller: "I just inherited this car a few months ago when a family member passed. I don't really know much about it other than it was purchased in 2004. It has basically been stored in a garage except for a couple days every June when the car show was in town. I would be surprised if it has been driven more than 50 miles in the last decade-plus. Thanks to YouTube I was able to get it started and drove it around the block a few times."
