Ford’s Model A had a tough act to follow, when it was introduced in 1927. You see, it was the intended successor of the wildly popular Model T, the car that mobilized millions of Americans and revolutionized automotive manufacturing. It’s never easy when you’ve got such a high benchmark to meet, yet the Model A did it. By 1930, when this 1930 Ford Model A came out, three million examples had been sold. Speaking of this particular car, it’s undergone a frame-off restoration, so you can really cherish this 94-year-old car and take it for a drive every now and then, too.
The Model T was famously offered in “any color as long as it’s black”. The Model A expanded the color range to four. Nevertheless, black is one of the best colors for any car, which is why it’s the one showcased by this 1930 Ford Model A. The dark canvas allows you to really appreciate the car’s twenties styling while highlighting elements such as its yellow wheels with whitewall tires, chrome detailing, and podded headlamps. The interior of this 1930 Ford Model A is a lesson in simplicity. That’s not by choice but because many of the features and conveniences that we take for granted today simply hadn’t been invented in 1930. So, you won’t find a climate control system of any sort, nor will you see a single screen – touch or otherwise. Instead, you’ll get comfortable brown seats, wind-up windows, a 4-spoke steering wheel, and a modest instrument pack. You see, in those days, drivers used to use their senses, particularly hearing and smell, to know if their car was running right. They didn’t need a gazillion gauges and check engine lights to tell them if something was wrong.
The 201ci (3.3L) in-line 4-cylinder engine sported by this 1930 Ford Model A is the one that every single Model A got – Ford only offered a single powerplant. It powers the rear wheels through a 3-speed sliding-mesh manual transmission. Meanwhile, braking is accomplished via mechanically actuated drums, so don’t expect this car to stop on a dime. When driving a car as old as this, time itself must slow down. Every action must be deliberate and planned.

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.
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.
At the 2003 North American Auto Show, Ford debuted a concept car that previewed what the next Mustang could be. The current at the time fourth generation was becoming a little long in the tooth and soft in the flesh, despite Ford trying to spice it up with variants such as the Cobra R. Then, two years later, the fifth generation dropped and…people lost their minds! Here was a Mustang that had fantastic retro-modern looks, a properly fierce face, and the powertrain mix to back it up. Sales skyrocketed, with over 160,000 being sold in the United States alone, for 2005! Sales did temper a little after the initial rush, but during its nine-year run, they never went below 70,000 units per year! Taking example of this 2008 Ford Mustang GT that’s available in Douglasville, Georgia, it’s not hard to see why. This particular car is a drop-top and comes with the potent all-new at the time, all-aluminum Modular V8 at the time. One key is included with the sale of this 106,654-mile car.
Ford’s association with Shelby and resultant Shelby Mustangs was resurrected in 2008, after a long hiatus. You see, Carroll Shelby saw the potential of the first generation Mustang way back in the Sixties and created a special line-up of Shelby Mustangs that were widely regarded as fine performance machines. After that, consecutive generations didn’t receive Shelby treatment until the fifth generation. We don’t know why the Mustang II, Fox Body or SN195 didn’t get the Shelby pampering, but that’s all in the past. Now, we have a machine that has indeed come from the stables of Shelby, a 2012 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Super Snake. This potent pony is up for grabs in St. Simons Island, Georgia, and reportedly packs 800 horsepower! It’s done only 12,000 miles and is said to be #33 of 200, with Shelby documentation included with the sale.
One of the best choices for a classic American four by four, a first generation Ford Bronco makes for a fine way to enjoy a weekend drive. Produced between 1966 and 1978, sales averaged well over 20,000 for a good year. In fact, this 1969 Ford Bronco Restomod is one of 20,956 made for the 1969 model year. Now, with a mere 35,199 miles on the clock, it’s up for sale in Landrum, South Carolina. Moreover, it’s received some aftermarket upgrades on the inside and out that make it suitable for regular driving too. So why not take a chance on this vehicle? Just talk to us and we’ll hook you up.

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.
