1929 Model A Special Coupe, Rumble Seat, Original, Nice Chrome, Runs Great on 2040-cars

This beautiful Historic Vehicle is road-ready.

1929 Ford Model A 2-door Special Coupe 49A.

This is a rare automobile.  Here's why . . .

Henry Ford produced nearly 5,000,000 Model A’s, but only 18,500 of this model, and only between July 1928 and July 1929.  It is very difficult to find a Special Coupe, especially one in such good condition as this.  Don’t let this one slip away.

She’s got an original 201-ci L-head engine and 3-speed transmission.  It goes down the road straight, shifts smoothly, and the 4-wheel mechanical brakes stop you just as Henry Ford designed.  Ford was once asked why he didn’t use the hydraulic brakes other companies used.  His reply, “If you have just one hydraulic leak, you lose all your brakes.  When have you ever seen all four brake rods fail at the same time on one of my cars?”  Smart move.  Back then hydraulics were pretty bad.

This Special Coupe is graced with an older, excellent restoration in very good shape with a few little chips, crackling, and scratches as you would expect from a vehicle that has been enjoyed as it should be.  Lots of thumbs-up wherever she goes.  You can’t help but smile when you’re driving this sweet Model A coupe.

The interior is in very good condition having had a great restoration in the past and shows very well (see photos) with no musty odors or smoke smells.  It’s very clean and very well cared for.

The windows roll up and down with ease.  The windshield tilts out.  The doors open and close easily.

The top is exceptionally tight with no tears.

She’s in wonderful condition so you can use it right now and have a great time with the family!  Or if you want, it is a great candidate for a Museum Quality Restoration, Advertising & Promotional use, a hot rod project, or a parade car.  Put your friends or the kids in the rumble seat, tilt out the windshield, and go for a cruise to the drive-in or the local car show.

If you’re looking for a very rare 1929 Ford Model A Special Coupe, you won’t find a better example than this beauty – especially at this price.  The reserve is set low for the value of this 85-year old automobile.  A 1929 Special Coupe was listed recently in Hemmings for $35,000.  My reserve is set at less than half that.
