For sale: 1930 Ford Model A Coupe Roadster Phaeton

Model A Monster

Might be a weekend or two away from roadworthy

This Model A was supposedly built for use as a mail truck in Montana. It's been popping up here and there for a few years now, but according to a practically unreadable eBay listing, it's for sale, again.




Apparently, it runs and drives, though the current owner states:

"Amazingly, none of the four very special tires ever appeared to have sat flat as usually happens with vehicles of this age. When that happens, the tires often develop bad cracks, become weak in the flat spot and later blow out. These ancient tires have some minor flat spots on them so when I drive this car, it does not ride smoothly. I have never driven it over 10 miles per hour or so. At that speed there is enough tire vibration to make the front fenders flop a bit which makes this car look like a big bird which just ate too much trying to take off and fly."

So far, there's been but a single, $50,000 bid, and the the reserve isn't yet met. Surely, someone will see the value in this fine machine before time runs out. ... If you think that person might be you, check out the auction here:
