Ford Model A Roadster 1929

1929 Ford Model A Roadster – classic styling in blue and black

A 1929 open-top Ford has a look that immediately catches the eye. The distinctive grille, freestanding headlights, large mudguards and open bodywork bring the atmosphere of early American motoring to life. This particular example combines that charm with a beautiful blue and black colour scheme and a great deal of recent technical work.

This Ford Model A Roadster is offered as a roadworthy classic. The engine starts well, the car drives and brakes well, and several key mechanical components have been overhauled. This makes it an attractive opportunity for enthusiasts looking for a pre-war Ford to take out on the road and enjoy.

A recognisable American classic

The Ford Model A succeeded the famous Model T and heralded a new era for Ford. With its distinctive design and simple, accessible engineering, the model became a much-loved classic.

With this open-top version, the experience is all about connecting with your surroundings: the sound of the engine, the wind and the leisurely pace of a historic car. A drive quickly becomes an outing in its own right. The Ford is ideal for touring, classic car events and sunny drives along country roads.

Stylish blue-and-black colour combination

The blue bodywork blends beautifully with the black mudguards and other black body parts. This combination emphasises the car’s lines and gives it a neat, classic look.

The Ford features a new grille and new headlights. These give the front end a fresh look, whilst retaining the character that makes this car so recognisable. The open-top body and striking proportions make it a real eye-catcher, both on the road and at events.

A great deal of attention to the mechanics

A great deal of work has been carried out on this Ford. This has included extensive attention to the fuel system, the steering, the cooling system and the brakes.

The entire petrol supply system has been overhauled, including the carburettor. The fuel pump and float have also been overhauled. In addition, a new steering box and a new water pump have been fitted. The brakes have been checked and the exhaust system was also addressed during the work.

The work carried out and checks performed included:

• Overhaul of the entire fuel supply system.
• Overhaul of the carburettor.
• Overhaul of the petrol pump and float.
• Fitting of a new steering gear.
• Fitting of a new water pump.
• Inspection of the brakes.
• Work on the exhaust.
• Fitting of a new grille.
• Fitting of new headlights.
• A general technical inspection of the car.

These services form an important part of the offer. Various systems that are important for starting, driving and operating the car have therefore already been addressed.

Starts, drives and brakes well

The Ford is roadworthy and the engine starts well. The car also performs well whilst driving and braking, in line with the seller’s description.

The driving experience is typical of a 1929 car: direct, mechanical and full of character. The handling and pace are part of the experience. It is precisely this that appeals to enthusiasts who want to experience what driving felt like in a bygone era.

This is a historic car, and ownership requires regular maintenance and care. The work carried out and its current roadworthy condition provide an excellent basis for continuing to cherish and enjoy this Ford.

An attractive opportunity for enthusiasts

This 1929 Ford Model A Roadster combines an appealing blue-and-black colour scheme with the joy of open-top driving and a great deal of technical work carried out. The reconditioned fuel system, the new steering box and the new water pump are significant plus points. The new grille and headlights enhance its appearance.

For a collector, a fan of American classics or someone who enjoys taking part in historic road trips, this is a particularly attractive offer.
