This is a beautiful 1928 Ford Model A, Tudor Sedan. The car has been garage kept since restoration began 30 years ago. There is NO RUST on this car anywhere. The doors are straight, and close and open fully. Pretty much a top to bottom restoration including but not limited to: New tires, and a spare on the back, newly painted rims, new floor boards, new blue/black paint scheme, new roof, new upholstery, interior insulation installed, brand new wheel bearings, new (old style) wiring, restored horn, restored Zenith Carb, engine has been rebuilt and runs beautifully, no smoke at all and has an "auto-lite" heater, which works very well! . All lights, including brake light work. Has been updated to a hydraulic brake system which also works great! All windows roll all the way down and up with no problem at all, Brand new battery as of 10/2012. There are a couple dings on the fenders but nothing serious. A few things to finish the car off: The seats have been reupholstered, however the headliner, door panels, and rear panels have not yet been upholstered. The transmission shifts fine, and drives fine...but 1st gear is quite noisy, and 2nd gear is a little noisy. 3rd is as quiet as ever. The car currently has a Ford Model AA engine. This was an engine originally used just for commercial trucks, but is EXACTLY the same engine they used for all Model A's. I believe it is a 1930 engine. Serial is AA437217 A couple important things you need to know: The two mechanical problems with the car are: The car seems to wobble, or shimmy left and right when driving more than 10 mph or so. Also the steering wheel has a bit of play. I am not sure how to fix this, but for the right person I bet it is not that difficult. I drove the car quite a bit last fall with no problems at all. This year, the problems started and therefor have not driven it much. This is not a show car, as the paint and upholstery, as well as a few other things are not original...HOWEVER this would be a great car for someone that is mechanical and can fix the minor issues the car currently has. It is great for a drive around town. Starts every time with no problem at all! Car is currently insured, registered, titled, and plated in Illinois. Free and clear Illinois title in hand. I have described this to the best of my ability, I strongly advise you to ask any question you may have! If you would like any other pictures, please let me know, I would be happy to take as many as you would like. I will get back to you ASAP. Also, please come and take it for a test drive if you are serious! Car is located about 45min west of Chicago in Wheaton, Il. I am selling the car due to the fact that I have no time for it anymore, and am not mechanical enough to fix the couple problems it has. My loss, your gain. Winning bidder responsible for pick up. You will NOT be able to drive this home, unless you live close and drive slow. No rush on picking it up, but with a reasonable amount of time. Thanks for looking!
