Leif in Calif Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 This is "all the money" for one of these. It's got a lot of expensive improvements...maybe that justifies the price? https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/cto/d/hollister-1931-ford-model-deluxe/7584884001.html This is a 1931 Ford model A Deluxe Roadster in excellent condition, both mechanically and appearance-wise.

cjmarzoli Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Nope, it doesn't. A Model A is still a Model A. Plenty of superior cars in the market for high 20's IMO. Mid to high teens car IMO. That top is a little shabby looking, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
