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.

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.
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.
The 1969 Ford Torino Cobra stands as one of Ford’s most purpose-built muscle cars, developed with a clear focus on high-speed performance and NASCAR homologation rather than pure styling flair. This example is a genuine factory Cobra, confirmed by VIN and data plate, and powered by Ford’s legendary 428 Cobra Jet V8. Finished in Presidential Blue over a black interior, the car presents an authentic, no-nonsense performance specification that reflects Ford’s competition-driven mindset at the end of the 1960s. Importantly, this Torino is accompanied by a Marti Report, providing documented verification of its factory configuration, drivetrain, and special performance designation.
A Thirties Ford is a fine car to build a hot rod on, because its so outrageous in 2025! Almost all the folks living today will likely never have been around when these cars came from the Ford Factory in brand-new condition, and their only view of them will likely have been from grainy, old-timey photos, or in cartoons. The latter is from where this particular 1933 Ford 3-Window Coupe Hot Rod seems to have popped from, but let us assure you, it’s real. Currently up for sale in Spring, Texas, it’s got a supercharged small-block under the hood that’s reportedly been dynoed at nearly 700 horsepower! That, its custom interior, suicide doors, Hoosier Pro Street racing rear tires and overall outlook mean that it’s a definite conversation starter, head turner, you name it. If you’d like to acquire this quirky machine, we’re glad to assist.
Falcon is one of Ford’s best-known nameplates, because its been used for cars in North America, Australia and Argentina. Today’s 1964 Ford Falcon Sprint Convertible comes from the North American line-up and is a second-generation example. With a healthy 119,104 miles on the clock, this fine Ford hails from Chula Vista, California and is a nice, sunny drop-top too. It’s got a 289 paired with a four-speeder, and some fetching aftermarket wheels as well. And that’s before we get to its rather nautical color! In short, this is the perfect first classic for someone looking to try out the American cars of the Sixties, but if you need more convincing before calling us, read on.
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.
