Exterior and Interior
Finished in Cordoba Tan, the Cabriolet carries the refined proportions that made the 1936 Ford lineup among the most stylish of the decade. Its soft curves and art-deco details remain intact, while the repainted finish and convertible top enhance its visual presence. The addition of a rumble seat highlights the car’s vintage character, offering an iconic touch of 1930s motoring. Inside, the tan leather interior, features bench seating that balances comfort with period authenticity.
Engine
Power comes from Ford’s 221 cubic-inch flathead V8, paired with a 3-speed sliding-gear manual transmission. This combination delivers smooth, reliable performance that made the flathead famous among early American enthusiasts. The car rides on transverse leaf spring suspension and uses four-wheel mechanical drum brakes, staying true to its pre-war engineering.

The 1930 Ford Model A Deluxe Roadster represents one of the most recognizable chapters in American automotive history, capturing the charm of open-top motoring during Ford's transition into the 1930s. Nearly a century later, the Model A remains a favorite among vintage Ford enthusiasts, particularly when thoughtfully upgraded for more enjoyable driving. This 1930 Ford Model A Deluxe Roadster, showing approximately 16,708 miles, is finished in Dark Blue over a Brown interior with a Tan LeBaron-Bonney convertible soft top. Beneath its classic appearance lies a built Diamond Block Model B four-cylinder engine with insert bearings, a Snyder high-compression cylinder head, and a 1984 Ford F-150 four-speed synchromesh manual transmission with overdrive. Additional mechanical enhancements include an upgraded steering system, modern shock absorbers, improved braking components, and a stainless steel exhaust system. Complemented by gold powder-coated wire-spoke wheels, a rear luggage rack with a metal storage trunk, and distinctive period-style chrome trim, this Deluxe Roadster offers an appealing combination of prewar Ford character and carefully selected mechanical improvements.
