You are looking at a wonderfully restored 1931 Model A Ford Deluxe Roadster The professional ground up body off chassis restoration was done over 20 years ago, but with careful dry storage and regular maintenance, this classic piece of history is in excellent condition. Along the way, this Model A has won two AACA awards including a Senior award at Old Dominion Show and a first at a National event. The car is well appointed with chrome spare tire fender covers, chrome radiator grille guard, rumble seat, flying quail radiator cap, wing glass deflectors and cloth trunk. The beautiful blue and black paint, fit and finish are excellent with only very minor paint issues on the sides of the hood area. There is some very minor and small paint checking, so small, that photographs cannot capture the imperfections. To a perfectionist, or someone that wants to win those National trophies, the areas could be easily blended in. To someone not as discerning, the car runs and appears near perfect. The four-cylinder engine starts and runs excellent. The original carburetor was just rebuilt along with a new air cleaner assembly and the six-volt battery was just replaced. The interior is near perfect with wonderfully tan covered seat covers, floor mat along with nicely restored convertible metal and wood bows. The car starts, drives and shifts very easily. Background:Among Model A Ford enthusiasts, the choice would likely be the 1930 – 1931 Deluxe Roadster! The Town Car and Deluxe Phaeton are favorites of some, but for sheer sporty driving enjoyment, none matches the Deluxe Roadster of 1930 – 1931. It is a car of timeless lines and quality. The Deluxe Roadster was announced in late July 1930 and reached the dealers in August 1930. It was the beginning of the Great Depression and Chevrolet and Plymouth were outselling Ford. Henry responded in 1930 and 1931 by introducing several deluxe models including the Deluxe Roadster. It was styled as a “sporty” automobile, and this image was stressed in National Ford Advertising. Young men and women attired in the current fashions were pictured stepping into their Deluxe Roadster (top down, windshield folded) at the golf course or yacht harbor. In 1931 the price was reduced from $520 to $475 and the luggage rack and rear straight bumper were sold as accessories and side mount spare tire was moved to the rear like most other Model A’s. Ford production in 1931 was half of what it was in 1930, yet 56,702 Deluxe Roadsters were produced (90% of all the Ford roadsters produced in 1931) largely due to the attractive price and sporty appeal. The Deluxe Roadster climbed to 10.2% of total Ford production in 1931.During the Model A years, 1929 to 1931, there were 32 assembly plants throughout the US. The primary production and assembly plant was the Rouge Plant in Dearborn, MI. Feel free to call Russ at EZ Auction to make arrangements to come and inspect this car up close and personal.
