DESCRIPTION
1930 Ford Model A Sport Coupe
For consignment, a 1930 Ford Model A Sport Coupe showing 9,337 miles which are unverifiable as the title reads Mileage Exempt. This is a street rodded version of a Model A, with a steel body and fiberglass fenders and a 350ci V8 occupying the motor mounts up front. It\'s coated in an unconventional but very appealing color that\'s sure to be a standout.
Exterior
Baby Blue is the color of choice here, and it looks fantastic on the classic lines of the sport coupe and the monochromatic coverage included the radiator shell, the headlight buckets, the windshield visor, and the rain gutter. Contrasting elements include the brightwork such as door handles, the side mirror, and the ribbon bumpers. Black rubber covers the running board which blends nicely with the tires, in this case wrapped around 15-inch KMC Eagle wheels which depict sculpted bird wings flowing from each triangular hole. Flush mounted tail lights are simple and low rectangles while a third brake light is posted at the back window. The engine here is exposed and showy enough to hold its own against the great paint and straight body of our 1930 where the only imperfection we find is a few touched up chips down low.
Interior
Blues blend, so we\'re happy to see a darker shade of blue on the tweed door panels, neatly constructed and enhanced with a little woodgrain accenting on the window crank. The tweed coverage continues on the tall bucket seats which are cozily close and securing occupants with taupe lap belts. Taupe is also seen on the steering column which wears a 4 spoke steering wheel with a vinyl cover. This all leads to a wood dash, neat and clean and the home to white faced Classic Instrument gauges across the middle, along with carved accent lines painted tan. An AM/FM/Cassette player is on hand and the tall shifter rises from a floor covered in both bright blue plush carpet and blue flamed rubber mats. Above our head, the tweed headliner surrounds an overhead console with lights and storage, and it\'s a nice fit. The trunk is lined with blue carpet and holds the battery and fire extinguisher.
Drivetrain
Out in the air is a 350ci V8 with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor in a showy presentation that includes chromed and polished components and dress up pieces. A TH350 3-speed automatic transmission is underfoot and sends power to a Ford 8\" rear. Brakes are configured as discs up front and drums in the rear.
Undercarriage
Not as showy as the top, more like driver quality conditions underneath with surface rust on the exhaust, some residual oil on the pan, and just signs of general use. Suspension bushings look good and this car has a Mustang II front end and ladder bars with coil overs out back. Dual exhaust runs into Turbo mufflers before exiting straight out the back through beveled chrome tips.
Drive-Ability
The comfortable little cabin is just the right size for those who don\'t like huge classics that can be difficult to wield. This one is nimble in comparison, feeling like a compact car from 1930. A turn of the key and the 350 bellows through dual exhaust and the raked stance of the car enhances visibility over the blue nose. It has respectable power and acceleration, fine straight tracking, and very good handling. Every functional item on the car operated on cue and correctly. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
If the state of the world has you feeling blue, there\'s only one cure. A fun hobby car that\'s not too big, not too small, and packs a punch with a venerable V8. This baby blue ride might present in a calming hue but has all the ingredients of a raucous little street rod, a wolf in sheep\'s clothing, if you will. It\'s a well sorted ride in a color we rarely see. Time to kick the daily driver out of the garage, baby blue is coming home!
