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.

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.
Ford gives its Mustang pony car plenty of gallop straight from the factory. But what if you want a raging racehorse instead? Well, that’s where you’d need to venture into the realm of Shelby. Shelby Mustangs are worshipped and revered as some of the most potent around, ever since Carroll Shelby looked at the first-generation Mustang and decided to work his magic on it. Now, Shelby Mustangs roll out of the Ford factory itself, in tribute to the great man who sadly left us some years back. Today, we have a 2020 Ford Mustang GT350 for sale from Gilbert, Arizona with just 5,900 miles to its name. What’s even nicer is that it’s been tuned by Lund Racing and features a supercharger installed on to its 5.2-liter V8. This, the 6-speed manual transmission and many more things make this the ultimate performance Mustang for the discerning driving enthusiast.
One of the most popular hot rod platforms turns out to be classic Ford and Chevy automobiles from the Twenties and Thirties – that’s 1920 and 1930 for you! Crazy isn’t it, that we’re in the Twenties right now – that’s the Twenty Twenties. Back to the subject car, it’s a 1933 Ford Model 40 Hot Rod that started life off as a stylish and dependable two-door coupe but has since undergone a comprehensive rebuild into the form you see here. Up for sale in Cabot, Arkansas, it boasts just over 13,000 miles since rebirth and comes with a 350 under the hood, mated with a Turbo 350 and of course, rear-wheel drive! Join us as we take you on a trip through its essence and you’ll be convinced as to why you should snap it up.
One of the best ways to experience a classic car is to cruise down in town with a drop-top first-generation Ford Mustang. You’ll be guaranteed to receive smiles, waves and general gestures of appreciation because who doesn’t love a Mustang? Introduced in 1964, the Mustang created a class of car called the pony car, and also facilitated an entire culture of happy, carefree cruising. Drop-top examples like this 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible are most facilitative of this culture, and will definitely invoke fond memories from many of those who were around at the time. Heck, even the new generation will love the car’s simplicity and characterful nature. This particular pony is up for sale in Westlake, Louisiana with 7,337 miles on the clock, we’re told. It’s also been fitted with aftermarket air conditioning, a retro stereo, a new convertible top and new whitewall tires too!
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.
