How do you replace a cult classic and sales hit such as the Ford Model T? With something even better and call it the Model A? That's what Ford did in 1927, replacing the Tin Lizzie with the wildly successful Model A. How successful was it? Well, how many cars can you think of that sold over 4.8 million units in just four production years? That's over a million per year! Hence, you might think that finding a Model A would be easy, but it's not. You see, classic cars didn't exist at the time. Nobody thought about preserving their cars for the future. Hence, this 1930 Ford Model A is quite a rare thing indeed. Having received a full restoration, we're told that it also has a rebuilt engine with under 2,500 miles on it. Read on more to discover what this fascinating piece of American automotive history offers.
Wearing a very appropriate yellow and black two-tone color theme, this 1930 Ford Model A is an excellent example of what 1920s and 1930s motoring was like. The current owner reports that the paint job is new, including the wheels, tires, lights, and chrome parts. That explains why this 1930 Ford Model A looks like it just left Henry Ford's production lines. At the rear, you'll note the luggage holder, as was common for the period. There's a reason for the external luggage rack, and we'll get to that shortly. The interior of this 1930 Ford Model A comes to you in brown and seats just two adults on a single bench seat. Three could fit, albeit with a squeeze. Don't expect a climate control system or radio; in those days, such things were still being developed in laboratories. Instead, you'll have to contend with singing to yourself or bring a Bluetooth speaker for the ride. But make sure that it's charged enough, as you won't find USB power sockets either. Meanwhile, if you need to take passengers, there's an external rumble seat, popularly called the "Mother-In-Law Seat", as it's outside the main passenger cabin and open to the elements. This is another reason why you need a luggage rack, as the trunk is effectively taken up by this period of innovation.
This 1930 Ford Model A comes with a 200.5ci in-line four-cylinder engine that's received electronic ignition for better reliability, plus a recent tune-up for optimal power delivery. The engine drives the rear wheels via a 4-speed gearbox with a Laycock overdrive. Meanwhile, we're told that the car has received new Snyder shock absorbers and a new clutch pressure plate.

The Ford Model A of 1927 to 1931 was the follow-up to Ford’s famous Model T, that had revolutionized mobility across the world, as well as laid the foundations for many of the automotive industry’s assembly line and mass standardization practices. Many of those advances are still in use today. So, the Model A had a pretty lofty reputation to continue, and it admirably did so. Despite just five model years, over 4.8 million were made, across various body styles. The Model A also came with the standard pedal arrangement for manual transmission-equipped vehicles that we know today, unlike the Model T’s unconventional control layout. Today’s 1930 Ford Model A 5-Window Hot Rod is quite different from a regular Model T, though. Well, for starters it only has two pedals because this machine packs a 3-speed automatic gearbox. That’s not all, there’s a 350ci V8 under the hood, a custom paint job, and under 15,000 miles on the clock since this machine got an extensive do-over. If you’d like to acquire this funky hot rod, it’s currently sitting in Yorba Linda, California.
Ford’s Model T paved the way for modern motoring in the turn of the century. Then, the Ford Model A arrived in 1927 and built further on its successes. Despite being made for just four years, Ford happily sold over 4.8 million units with various body styles. The Model A brought more power, performance and a conventional arrangement of pedals to the party. It also offered body styles such as the phaeton, which we have got here in the shape of this 1931 Ford Model A Phaeton. Up for sale in Mathews, North Carolina, this 4,872-mile machine comes with a 201ci four-cylinder engine and a 3-speed manual transmission. It’s also got a reupholstered interior, a car cover, and numerous extra parts and tools included with the sale.
The Ford Model A was the model that succeeded the Model T. Well, there was actually a Model A built in 1903 as Ford’s first-ever car but only 1,750 examples were made before the Model T made its debut and revolutionized the auto industry to this day. When the Model T was due for retirement, guess what took over in 1927. Another Model A! This second iteration ran until 1932, with over 4.8 million sold by the time the 1932 Ford line-up was revealed with its three derivatives. While 1932 Fords have found fame as restomods and hot rods (especially the Deuces or 1932 model year cars), the Model A is also a great hot rod platform. If you don’t believe us, just check out this 1931 Ford Model A Hot Rod for sale from Kingsland, Texas. It’s truly an amazing looking thing that will turn heads everywhere you drive it, 383 Stroker rumbling away! This hot rod has got just 5,000 miles on it too.
First generation Ford Mustangs are some of the most popular first-time classic cars around. Think we’re mistaken? Well, based on the amount of them that we’ve shifted, we beg to differ. With well over 2.5 million first-gen ‘Stangs created, there’s definitely no shortage of them around. You’ve got six or eight-cylinder power, three alluring body styles to pick from, and manual or automatic transmissions. So, choosing a first-generation Mustang is really down to your specific tastes and desires. Today’s example is a 1970 Ford Mustang Convertible from Portland, Oregon. It’s got a 302ci V8 under the hood, paired with a 3-speed SelectShift automatic gearbox, and also rocks an aftermarket radio. So do let us know if you’d like to own this sub-36,000 mile pony.

Ford’s Focus isn’t that popular in America. It’s more of a European hero in the compact car class, where roads are smaller, town centers are tighter and compact cars rule the roost. Here, the Focus would be considered almost too small for our larger-than-life tastes. But hang on, what about the hot variant of the Focus? Specifically, the RS? Now we’re talking, because this is a spicy turbocharged hot hatch with all-wheel drive and 350 horses to be delivered. In fact, the engine of the third generation Focus RS, which is where this 2016 Ford Focus RS for sale hails from, is directly derived from the EcoBoost unit in the sixth-generation Mustang! So if you’re interested, this 86,000-mile car is up for sale in Riverside, California. It’s a four-door, too, so family practicality is another of its strong selling points, in case you need to convince your significant other as to why this car should be in your garage or driveway.

Few automobiles embody timeless elegance like the 1935 Packard Twelve 1208 Limousine, offered here by Exotic Car Trader. Born during an era when luxury marques such as Duesenberg, Pierce-Arrow, and Packard defined American prestige, this limousine was crafted in spite of the Great Depression, a period that forced many rivals into collapse. While Packard itself would close its doors in the late 1950s, the 1930s remain a highlight of its history, producing masterworks like this 1208. Extensively restored and accompanied by complete records, this limousine blends grandeur, craftsmanship, and historical significance into one unparalleled offering.
The 1934 Ford Victoria belongs to Ford’s Model 40 line-up, introduced in 1933 as an update to the earlier 1932 models. Styled under Edsel Ford’s guidance rather than Henry himself, the Victoria was one of fourteen body styles available in the range, positioned as a more upscale option with a focus on comfort and style. Its flowing lines and enclosed cabin gave it a distinctively refined look compared to standard coupes and sedans. The example offered here shows 62,300 miles and features thoughtful upgrades, including drivability enhancements, making it a practical choice for vintage enthusiasts who still want to enjoy the open road.
