Nice car, and tour-ready.

Not sure about the top and headliner, though. Maybe a Model A expert can chime in?

[Leif in Calif]

The top looks tired but correct, unlike others we've seen here. Price might or might not be be a little high but it's certainly "in the ball park".

This is a rare model, and the "A" community loves a rare model!

Thanks for posting. I had no idea that these existed.

 

The Mitchell overdrive is an interesting looking unit. When were those available? It looks later than the Model A era.

 

Learning new things about old cars.

I am no model A expert by a longshot! But I believe this is what was called a "Business Coupe" originally. A friend has considered wanting one. Although they sold quite a few of them originally, most survivors were modified into the more popular "Sport Coupe" without the oval corner windows. Most business coupes did not originally have the rumble seat, however it was an option for them, so may well be original to the car?

 

The Mitchell overdrive is very popular with the model A crowd. They actually manufactured a range of overdrive units for many antique automobiles and other special uses. They are not era correct, but were made to be somewhat inoffensive, and not require major modifications. I am not sure when they were made, but I think during the 1970s through 1990s? They may even still be available? I don't know.

Model A people tend to like to drive their cars, and the overdrive gives them a better sustained top speed and eases the engine's burden of being pushed too much.

Very nice car but I just don't fit. Ideal for the small guy !

Mitchell Overdrives are being made now for Model A Fords.  Can be purchased from either Mitchell or from the repop vendors.                John

You got that right. There are some nice Model A's out there and I regret not being able to drive them.

Looks like a 12v alternator, so maybe the whole car has been converted over to 12v?
