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.

Contrary to popular belief, the Model A nameplate didn’t come after the immensely popular Model T. In fact, it preceded it, as the first car Ford ever made. Production ran between 1903 and 1094, with a mere 1,750 cars made. Then, the Model T came over and the rest was history…until it had to be replaced in 1927. Replaced it was…with the Model A, or rather the second iteration of Model A. Here, the Model A brought about many modern attributes. Unlike the Model T’s unusual pedal and gear layout, the Model A had the conventional layout that we see in manual transmission-equipped cars to this day. It also offered multiple body styles. As time passed by, these cars found a new use – as hot rods! Yes, that’s what’s become of this particular 1933 Ford Model A Roadster Hot Rod, with its spicy 383 Stroker, automatic transmission and aftermarket camshaft, plus many other things. With just under 1,200 miles on it since all that makeover work was carried out, this Portland-based car represents something quirky for those who dare.
This 1980 Ford Model A Shay Roadster Replica captures the timeless appeal of the iconic Model A while offering modern drivability and reliability. Built under Ford’s official blessing by Shay Motors, these factory-authorized replicas combined vintage styling with contemporary mechanicals, making them highly desirable among enthusiasts who value both classic looks and everyday usability. With just 8,911 miles showing, this yellow-and-tan example is a well-preserved tribute to an American motoring legend.
Think hot rod, and chances are you’ll come up with something based on a Ford Model A. The Model A, following on from the nomenclature set by the fabled Model T, is a prime candidate for custom builds, just like our featured 1932 Ford Model A Roadster Hot Rod. This car has reportedly been subject to a detailed restoration: a Stage 3 chassis-based build that combines traditional styling with modern engineering. It’s now been fitted with a Chevrolet 350ci V8 coupled to a Turbo-Hydramatic 400 automatic transmission.
The 1978 Ford Bronco Ranger XLT marked the debut of the second generation, blending full-size truck capability with SUV versatility. Riding on the F-Series chassis, it was built to handle serious off-road use while delivering a comfortable, upscale driving experience. This example, finished in factory-correct Bright Jade and Dark Jade Metallic two-tone paint, showcases the vibrant and distinctive styling of late-1970s Ford design. Equipped with the top-tier Ranger XLT package and the largest available 400 cubic-inch V8 engine, this Bronco represents both luxury and power in a timeless off-road icon.
With its funky removable doors and option of a removable hardtop that can be replaced with a soft top, Ford’s Bronco is truly an off-roader like no other. Even today, the sixth-generation Bronco offers these features, rivaled only by the Jeep Wrangler. Ford started making Broncos in 1966 and ran through five generations by 1996. Then, they took a 25-year break before resuming Bronco production in 2021. Today’s 1975 Ford Bronco comes from the first generation and has got a punchy 302ci V8 to move it along. That, its aftermarket sound system, aftermarket wheels and just 96,957 miles make it a formidable contender for anyone seeking a classic four-by-four that can still engage in some spirited mud-plugging or trail bashing. If that sounds like you, contact us as we can hook you up with this Arizona-based Bronco.
This 1934 Ford Model 40 Tudor Sedan Hot Rod embodies the perfect union of prewar American craftsmanship and modern street rod engineering. Built from the bones of Ford’s iconic Model 40 two-door sedan, this custom retains its classic proportions but adds the performance and comfort expected from a contemporary cruiser. The glossy black finish with red pinstriping accentuates its long, sweeping fenders and sharply defined grille — hallmarks of 1930s automotive artistry — while updated mechanicals transform it into a dependable and stylish driver.
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.
Following the success of the Model T, the Model A brought a whole new dimension to the country’s history of cars. This particular 1931 Model A Victoria Coupe comes from the last year of its make, and although it retains the classic feel and aesthetic of its original state, comes with some significant upgrades. Gone is the inline-four engine and replaced with a modern V6 with electronic fuel injection, plus a host of upgrades. However, the entire car retains its iconic vintage charm with hardly any changes. All servicing documentation and invoices are reportedly provided. With 1,949 miles reported on the clock and an all-steel body, this Model A is a car that is begging to be claimed and enjoyed in your garage and shared with others as well.
