Ford's Model T was a stellar success story in the automotive industry's early days. Henry Ford's car for the masses wasn't just a trailblazer in personal mobility but introduced many manufacturing principles that are still used today. When the time to retire the Model T rolled around, the Model A replaced it. Running from 1927 to 1931, the Model A was available in a dizzying array of body styles. Up for grabs today is a 1931 Ford Model A with a truck body style and 29,000 miles to its name. The current owner reports that this vehicle has undergone a full restoration to its original specifications before it was purchased from a car dealer. It's also got a few upgrades here and there to make it just that little bit more drivable today.
This beautiful 1931 Ford Model A presents itself with a silver exterior paint coat and a wooden truck bed behind the single-row passenger cabin. You'll observe plenty of period correct details, such as the wire wheels, running boards, and externally-mounted spare wheels. We're told that the car runs on a new set of Lucas wheels as per the current owner and that the electricals and headlamps are functional. Furthermore, turn signals have been added for better drivability and safety in the current era. You'll also find that the old and unreliable vacuum pump windshield wiper system has been upgraded to a modern electrical system. A final point about the exterior that we find particularly interesting is that the current owner says that the vehicle has its original horn in functional condition. Inside, there's a black-themed cabin with a single bench seat to host a driver and passenger. You won't find any of the modern creature comforts that we're spoilt with on today's cars. What you will find is a steering wheel, gear shifter, pedals, and a rudimentary instrument cluster. You'll also note that the front windshield can be tilted out to enhance ventilation, coupled with the wind-down side windows. To be honest, there isn't much else you could ask for in a vehicle of this vintage. Just forget Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for a few hours at a time, and experience what the pre-digital era was like. You'll find it surprisingly and refreshingly liberating.
This 1931 Ford Model A comes with a 201ci 4-cylinder L-head engine, driving the rear wheels through a sliding-mesh three-speed manual transmission. You'll find that the unassisted steering is surprisingly easy to use once on the move, thanks to the curb weight of the Model A range falling under 2,500 pounds. Drum brakes are present for stopping power, and you'll do well to adopt a more relaxed and anticipatory driving style, as required by a car that's over nine decades old.
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.
What have we got here? Is it KITT, then? Well, not quite. It’s the exact model of Shelby Mustang used for the 2008 reboot of Knight Rider – the GT500KR. Contrary to belief, KR actually means King of the Road. It’s a term that pays homage to the original 1968 GT500KR, a fearsome, Cobra Jet toting machine. Today’s 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR features a supercharged Modular V8 under the hood to really get your pulse racing. In case that isn’t enough, this 1,400-mile machine from Iowa also has the Shaker 1000 audio system, Shelby GT500KR forged wheels and even a carbon fiber rear spoiler and front splitter. You’d better not waste any time, then. Only 1,712 units were made, by the way.
From the vintage first-generation F-Series of 1948 to today’s fourteenth generation, Ford’s famous family of pickup trucks is a success story for books, case studies and more. It’s redefined the bar for a pickup truck countless times, and even caught the attention of Carroll Shelby. Even though the great man is no more, there are Shelby F-150s around, like this current-generation 2023 Ford F-150 Shelby from Yucalpa, California. With just 12,500 miles on the clock and a V8 under the hood, this could be the ideal half-ton truck for someone with a family who needs the versatility of a pickup. Join us as we take you through its essence, but if you want to look no further, just get in touch ASAP.
This 1969 Ford Bronco Restomod combines the iconic styling of the first-generation Bronco with modern performance and thoughtful upgrades that improve comfort and usability. Finished in white with a black interior and a contrasting black removable hardtop, the truck maintains the classic early Bronco aesthetic while benefiting from a fully modern drivetrain. Power comes from a 5.0L Gen 3 Coyote V8 producing approximately 480 horsepower, paired with a 10R80 10-speed automatic transmission and a capable 4x4 drivetrain. With its blend of vintage design and contemporary mechanicals, this Bronco delivers significantly improved performance and drivability compared to the original while retaining the character that made these early SUVs so desirable.
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. This 1939 BMW 328 Roadster is a fine example of the German automaker’s long and illustrious history of excellence. It offers you a comprehensive look at what BMW was way back then. 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.
Famed British luxury automaker Rolls-Royce has over a century of history and tradition behind them. No surprise, then, that they are utterly uncompromising in their pursuit of ultimate automotive luxury. Today, they have an SUV as well as multiple sedan, coupe and convertible models, plus some limited editions, here and there. So, let’s take a trip, say, nearly a hundred years into their past. Here, we find examples such as this 1928 Rolls-Royce Twenty that’s now up for grabs in Meridian, Idaho. This machine of discerning excellence has got under 35,000 miles to its name and could be yours if you want a vintage car that will put all other vintage cars to shame.
