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.
Sitting pretty on a set of powder-coated wire spoke wheels with whitewall tires and a matching spare on either side (that’s two spare wheels for you), this 1931 Ford Model A Phaeton wears a Washington Blue coat of paint. You can see that it’s a four-door phaeton variant, with an open-air body style and very little weather protection, just like a traditional horse carriage. However, there is indeed a full-length tan-colored canvas roof for some protection, but the car looks at its best with this roof folded down. Beneath the bodywork sits a factory Ford Model A ladder frame chassis. The interior of this 1931 Ford Model A Phaeton is very exposed as you may glean. It comes in brown and can accommodate even six adults if you please, thanks to front and rear bench seats. As for creature comforts, there are none. Don’t expect heating, let alone air conditioning, or even an AM radio, let alone Android Auto. Instrumentation is also minimal, as was common way back in the day.
This 1931 Ford Model A Phaeton has a 201ci 4-cylinder engine with a single-barrel updraft carburetor. It’s paired with a 3-speed manual transmission and drives the rear wheels. You’ve also got transverse leaf spring suspension, a 6-volt electrical system and mechanical drum brakes. All this means that you’ve got to drive this 95-year-old car with care. Just slow down and enjoy life in it.
Ford’s Model A was tasked with taking over the mantle from the wildly popular Model T. Introduced for the 1927 model year, it indeed had a yeoman task ahead, which it admirably tackled and conquered. In just five years, over 4.8 million units found homes. They were made in a variety of body styles including two-door (Tudor) saloons, four-door (Fordor) saloons, station wagons, coupes, taxicabs, delivery vans, convertibles and more. Today, these vintage Fords have found a niche as restomod platforms, as well as of course, the finely-restored true-to-original form vehicles. This 1928 Ford Model A Tudor Hot Rod is of the former, and it’s available in Panama City Beach, Florida. With just under 41,000 miles on it, this car comes with air conditioning, an automatic gearbox, a 350ci V8 and more things that make it easier to drive more often.
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 A may not have been as trailblazing as the legendary Model T was, but it’s no less important in the history of the Blue Oval brand. When the Model T was due for retirement, Ford knew that they had a mammoth task in succeeding it with a worthy successor. The successor was the Model A. So how successful was it? Well, in its production run between 1927 and 1931, 4.85 million examples were sold! That’s pretty successful, we’ve got to say. Model A owners could choose from coupes, convertibles, sedans, pickup trucks and some commercial oriented body styles as well. Plus, the Model A was made in multiple countries across the globe, apart from the United States, of course. Now, finding a Model A these days is a little difficult because not many are around – we’re talking about a car that would be nearly a century old! Thankfully, we have an old stalwart from Meridian, Idaho right here. This 1930 Ford Model A 5-Window Coupe comes with a 201ci four-cylinder, a 3-speed manual transmission and a two-tone blue exterior. Plus, it’s got under 15,000 miles to its name.
Presenting this 1975 Ford Bronco, a highly desirable classic 4x4 that blends vintage styling with serious off-road capability.

Outfitted with a lifted suspension, upgraded drivetrain components, and a refreshed interior, this example has been thoughtfully enhanced for both trail use and everyday enjoyment.

This 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible is a classic representation of American automotive history. With its stunning Springtime Yellow exterior and Parchment vinyl interior, it stands out as a true icon of the muscle car era. The Mustang is renowned for its robust performance and timeless design, making it a popular choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike. This particular model, featuring a rear-wheel-drive (RWD) drivetrain, encapsulates the spirit of the 60s with its striking color combination and classic convertible layout. As part of the original Mustang lineage, it offers both style and driving excitement for those looking to enjoy a piece of automotive heritage.
Cars from the 20’s have now clocked in a century of existence, they are tremendous pieces of engineering that are often overlooked by the automotive world. Fast forward to the modern-day world of motoring, and a lot has changed; everything is faster, but the very essence of motoring has been lost. Looking to explore that old-school 20s charm with the addition of performance? Feast your eyes on this 1923 Ford Model T T-Bucket Hot Rod we have today. This custom hot rod is reported to have run just 3,196 miles and hails from Three Rivers, Michigan.
Vintage Fords seem to take two forms these days. Pristinely-restored classics with true to original form, or wacky hot rods that change nearly everything. Today’s 1939 Ford Deluxe Coupe straddles the line between these two. On the outside, this nice green classic looks pretty stock. Under the skin and on the inside, though, it’s been tastefully upgraded to make it more pleasant to drive, showcase, and enjoy. Now up for grabs in Carnation, Washington with 24,308 miles on the odometer, it’s the perfect way to enjoy a car from the 1930s with modern features such as a sound system, automatic gearbox and heating.
DeSoto is an American brand that you’ve likely never heard of, especially if you were born in the 1970s or later. Formed in 1912, it subsequently became a Chrysler Corporation marque, and was seen up to 1961. Based in Auburn, Indiana, DeSoto was known for creating well-built automobiles, as well as trucks. Today, we have a 1931 DeSoto S-13 for sale from Upland, California. This 109,000-mile vintage car comes with a 6-cylinder engine, a stick shift, and the owner’s manual as well. Hence, its ideal for someone who wishes to collect quirky American vintage cars from defunct brands – and such people are very important because they help preserve long-forgotten bits of our country’s grand automotive history!
Now here’s a truly rare vintage car that is likely the sort you’d be able to buy just once in a lifetime.

In fact, in 1999, the 328 was named one of 25 finalists for the Car Of The Century award by a worldwide panel of auto journalists. Its achingly beautiful shape, potent straight six and the overall pristine condition of this example all make this a highly coveted collector’s piece. That is reflected in its price too. If you want to make this rolling piece of history your own, it’s currently up for grabs in Florissant, Missouri.
