Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Rear spare, black wire wheels, blackwall tires, quail radiator cap, leatherette top, leatherette interior.

Condition

Believed to be the oldest surviving Model A Ford, originally delivered to Sweden. An older restoration to like new condition now with some years and miles. Seat back pulled at corner, dull instrument panel. A sound and usable older restoration with numerous cosmetic flaws and age issues. Documented with original Swedish title.

Market commentary

This result is a realistic compromise between this early Model AR's history and its aged and used condition with many issues. Having the 'earliest known Model A' is not a distinction that readily translates into value.
