Franco Vigorito

HIGHLIGHTS
- Delivered new in Argentina in 1929.
- Five-seat Phaeton version.
- Overhauled with modern hydraulic brakes and an alternator.
- It has an Italian registration with ASI certification.
- It comes from a private museum after owning it for 20 years.

HISTORY/OVERVIEW
The Ford 'A' 1929 version is interesting because it is the culmination of the first iteration with small wheels and is deemed a milestone in the history of automobiles. 

This model was imported from Argentina in the 1990s and restored in Italy shortly after, including a new interior, new varnish, and anything else necessary. 

It is a collection vehicle indeed. You may also use it for weddings and high-profile events or gatherings. Finding such a solid specimen with papers in order is far from easy.

EXTERIOR
Nowadays, the bodywork is in beautiful condition and its original grey colour. A polishing and detailing treatment was recently performed. A coating thickness gauge test revealed no significant defects.

INTERIOR
The interior is in the original classic brown vinyl and excellent condition. Back then, they were restored and show no flaws now. A cleansing and sanitising treatment was recently performed.

MECHANICS
Mechanically, the car was overhauled to improve road driving, including new hydraulic brakes and an alternator to recharge the battery. However, the last technical inspection expired in 2004, and the car did not travel in recent years since it belonged to a private museum. We suggest regular maintenance work before using it on public roads. 

DOCUMENTATION
Includes Italian papers plus ASI certificate.
