1931 MODEL A DELUXE ROADSTER WITH DUAL SIDE MOUNTS, TRUNK RACK, RUMBLE SEAT, HIGH SPEED 3.54 REAR END RATIO. I PURCHASED THIS VERY NICE OLDER RESTORASTION ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO. ALL STEEL BODY AND FENDERS WITH STONE BROWN/STONE GRAY LACQUER PAINT. LaBARREN-BONNEY INTERIOR, TOP AND SIDE CURTAINS WITH THE CORRECT LEATHER FRONT SEATS. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR, I INSTALLED FOUR NEW FIRESTONE WHITE WALL TIRES AND TUBES. AT THE SAME TIME, ALL SIX WHEELS WERE POWDERCOATED. THE TWO SPARES ARE FIRESTONE WHITE WALL TIRES THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN ON THE GROUND. THE BATTERY WAS NEW WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE BRITE WORK IS VERY NICE WITH A LITTLE MINOR PITTING ON A FEW OF THE PARTS. THE PAINT IS VERY GOOD WITH A FEW MINOR CHIPS AND SCRATCHES AND ONE VERY SMALL DENT (ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE END OF A PENCIL) ON THE INSIDE OF ONE FRONT FENDER. THERE IS A DENT IN BOTH SPARE TIRE HUB CAPS BUT THE OTHER FOUR ARE LIKE NEW. THE ENGINE AREA IS WELL DETAILED. THE FRONT SEAT DOES SHOW THAT IT HAS BEEN SAT ON BUT IS IN VERY NICE CONDITION. THE RUMBLE SEAT IS LIKE NEW. I REPLACED THE FRONT FLOOR CARPET ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO. THE TOP DOES SHOW SOME FADING BUT I DO NOT THINK THE SIDE CURTAINS HAVE EVER BEEN INSTALLED. THE IGNITION SWITCH IS A REPLACEMENT AND NOT AN ORIGINAL "POP-OUT" TYPE. MECHANICALLY, THE CAR IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. EVERYTHING WORKS. THE DISTRIBUTOR HAS BEEN RECENTLY REBUILT INCLUDING NEW BUSHINGS AND SHAFT USING MODERN POINTS. THE FUEL SYSTEM IS CLEAN WITH NO RUST ISSUES. THE CAR HAS BEEN RECENTLY SERVICED AND IS READY TO BE DRIVEN. THE CAR STARTS AND RUNS VERY WELL, THE STEERING AND BRAKES ARE GOOD. DURING THE PAST TWO YEARS, I HAVE DRIVEN THE ROADSTER IN PARADES AS WELL AS TO OUR LOCAL MODEL A CLUB OUTINGS. I OFTEN DRIVE IT TO MY SHOP ON SATURDAYS. THE 3.54 REAR END GEARS MAKE IT EASIER TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC. THIS IS A MODEL A THAT LOOKS GOOD AND RUNS AND DRIVES WELL AND IS DEPENDABLE. THIS IS NOT A 100 POINT "TRAILER QUEEN" BUT IS A VERY NICE, CORRECTLY RESTORED ROADSTER THAT CAN BE DRIVEN AND ENJOYED. IF YOU CAN NOT COME SEE THE CAR YOURSELF, I WILL WELCOME A QUALIFIED PERSON TO INSPECT THE CAR. I WILL WORK WITH THE BUYER IF THE CAR NEEDS TO BE SHIPPED AND CAN PROVIDE INSIDE STORAGE FOR UP TO 30 DAYS AFTER THE END OF THE AUCTION. IF REQUIRED, SHIPPING IS AT THE EXPENSE OF AND IS TO BE ARRANGED BY THE BUYER. THE CAR HAS A CALIFORNIA TITLE IN MY NAME AND IS CURRENTLY LICENSED AND INSURED. THE NUMBER ON THE TITLE MATCHES THE NUMBER ON THE ENGINE. I REQUIRE A $1000 DEPOSIT WITHIN 72 HOURS OF THE CLOSE OF THE AUCTION WITH THE BALANCE PAID IN FULL (CASH OR BANK TRANSFER) PRIOR TO ME RELEASING THE CAR. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS AND I WILL ANSWER THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. YOU CAN CONTACT ME (CHRIS WICKERSHAM) AT (626) 351-5047. PLEASE DO NOT CALL BEFORE 7:00 AM OR AFTER 7:00PM, PACIFIC TIME. I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THE CAR BUT I HAVE MORE CARS THEN SPACE. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY AS THE CAR IS ALSO ADVERTISED LOCALLY. THANKS FOR LOOKING AT MY AUCTION AND HAPPY BIDDING.
