1931 Ford Model A Coupe

Description

After eighteen years and more than 15,000,000 units of their iconic Model T, Ford would unveil the new Model A in 1927. The Model A was offered with a selection of body styles that would suit almost every taste and purpose from a full-size Fordor Sedan or a sleek two-door Coupe, Ford’s Model A offerings even included a taxicab, truck, and vehicles for commercial use. Power came from an “L-head” inline four-cylinder engine producing around 40 horsepower which was not only incredibly robust, but was also the first Ford to be offered with a standard set of driver controls. This meant the Model A is configured with a now conventional clutch, brake, throttle, and gearshift which provides enthusiasts with an incredibly enjoyable and relatable driving experience. As an incredibly popular option for those interested in a classic, easy-to-use touring vehicle, the Ford Model A enjoys a devoted following that hosts a wide variety of events worldwide.
