1929 Ford Model A

Henry Ford spent most his first years fighting off the idea of changing the Model T which produced and sold over 15 million models before his son, Edsel, finally convinced him that some new features and comforts were necessary. On May 25th, 1927, Ford announced the shutdown of the plant and production of the Model A and began retooling the entire factory to begin its new and improved version, the Model A. They completed this process in almost 6 months and had cars pumping out quickly which was only possible due to Edsel secretly marshaling the design and sketch team to begin working on the new model prior to Henry ever even approving such a change. Although many have come to appreciate the original designs, even more have enjoyed customizing these antiques into more modern and drivable rides such as this example you see today.

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this beautifully customized example of the 1929 Ford Model A Sport Coupe for your consideration. The car was built in 2002 and was a labor of love; no expense was spared in building it. The car has won multiple awards and trophies.

It features some great creature comforts like power brakes, air conditioning, wipers and heat, this classic car has been upgraded to modern comfort. The car is powered by a healthy 355 v8 that was bored .30 over 350 and was given a mild comp cam.
