Default Re: "Unrestored Original" - except for paint, upholstery, top, plating


This Model A may not be perfect, but it looks very nice. The 2 door Phaetons were never sold in Australia, only the 4 door models. There were no 1931 Model A's sold in Australia, as they just continued selling the 1930 models until the all new 1932 Fords were released. What is interesting about the 1930 Australian Model A Fords, is that they were full of wood, which was a backward step as the 1928 and 1929 Model A Fords used imported body parts. There are very few 2 door Phaetons in Australia, and all have been recent imports. This is a real pity, as they are nice looking cars.
