Collector Cars For Sale
1931 Ford Model A 400 Convertible Sedan - The Model A 400 is an extremely rare car.
It was only manufactured in the
year 1931.
It is patterned after the Victoria which was introduced in 1930.
The
Victoria was a
bustle-back 2-door sedan with a padded vinyl roof.
In the 1931, the stylist decided to make the padded roof go down,
so they put a retractable roof on the 2-door sedan,
leaving the door posts and rear window posts intact.
So as you look at the
car,
unlike a convertible sedan,
this 2-door sedan has a complete door and a top
and side posts on the windows and the door opening.
During the Model A model run, which encompassed 4 years,
Ford built over
4 million Model A's.
Of the Model A 400, less than 4000 were manufactured.
Of those 4,000, less than 400 remain today.
This car is certainly a survivor,
and a splendid example of one of
the most desirable Model A's ever built,
the Model A 400.
It is equipped with dual side mounts, it has 6 new Firestone whitewall
tires.
Being a deluxe model, it has cowl lamps, and of course the famous aoogah
horn.
It also has a stone shield, quail radiator cap, dual door-mounted
rear-view mirrors,
dual tail lamps, a luggage rack in the rear, 4/1 piece bumper in the rear,
since the dual side mounts are located in the fenders
there's no need for
the
split rear bumper as most Model A's had.
It sports genuine leather seats,
when
the car was first manufactured it used genuine leather seats.
The car was originally sold new in the state of Arizona.
It went to a
collector in Colorado who gave it a complete frame-off restoration.
From there, it
went to
a collector in Berlin, Germany and there to USSR,
where it was kept in the
garage of
an economical adviser of L. Breznev
and in just beginning of 1998 this car
was sold to
Russian Car Auction house,
where some improvements were made on it as follows:
Installed 5 seat
belts and vintage-type turn signals that work uniquely
- you turn them on
and
set them in a position to indicate either left or right turn.
After you
complete the turn you flip the arm one
time and the turn signal cancels.
In July 2002, this car was sold to our company and we are ready to sell it.
Price: $29,100 US Dollars with a FREE INSURED DELIVERY to the USA.
