AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

HIGHLIGHTS:

• Characteristic pre-war Ford Model A Tudor from the 1929 model year
• Originally from the dry climate of California, equipped with an active original Dutch license plate
• Two-tone bodywork in brown and beige, combined with a black vinyl roof and a tan velour fabric interior
• Powered by the 3.3-liter inline-four gasoline engine (40 hp) with a manual floor-shift transmission
• Featuring classic details such as running boards with aluminum step plates, tilt/adjustable windshield, Firestone tires and a full-size spare wheel at the rear

HISTORY/OVERVIEW:

The Ford Model A, introduced in late 1927 as the successor to the legendary Model T, marked a huge technological and aesthetic step forward for the Ford Motor Company. Under the leadership of Edsel Ford, the model received considerably more modern and elegant body lines, while the controls were modernized to a conventional three-pedal layout with a standard shift. The Tudor Sedan was at the time one of the most beloved body variants due to its practical, closed two-door coachwork. This particular specimen dates from 1929 and originates from the dry climate of California (USA). The car has already been imported to the Netherlands and is equipped with an original Dutch license plate, with an odometer reading of 75,235 km.

EXTERIOR:

The original bodywork is in excellent condition and is virtually free of rust. The body is finished in a two-tone combination of brown and beige and features a black vinyl roof. The exterior is equipped with a chrome grille with a stainless steel radiator guard, chrome headlights, hood vent louvers, a driver's side mirror, a tilt windshield, and running boards with aluminum step plates. At the rear there is a full-size spare wheel, and the car sits on Firestone tires.

INTERIOR:

The interior is finished with tan velour fabric upholstery on the front seats and the rear bench, as well as on the headlining. The cabin is in good condition. The front seats fold forward to provide access to the rear compartment. The interior is also equipped with a classic four-spoke steering wheel and manually operated wind-down windows.

ENGINE AND MECHANICS:

Under the hood lies the 3.3-liter (3,285 cc) inline-four gasoline engine, delivering 40 hp at 2,200 rpm, coupled to a manual floor-shift transmission and a single-exit exhaust system. According to the seller, the engine last ran about one year ago. Given the period of inactivity, a full mechanical inspection and service are advised before the car is used regularly again.

DOCUMENTS:

The vehicle is equipped with an original Dutch license plate and the accompanying registration documents.

It is recommended to view the vehicle before making an offer to avoid disappointment later. To arrange an appointment, please contact Catawiki. The car can be viewed in Muiderberg, Netherlands. Bids exclude transport and export costs unless otherwise stated. Arranging transport, transfer of ownership and any export documents or registration costs are the responsibility of the buyer. Worldwide transport can be facilitated at a mutually favorable rate.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
