189 would be difficult to authenticate as the oldest surviving Model A.

For example. there were supposedly two 1927 Ford Model A's in Zimbabwe (formerly South Rhodesia) in the 1960's. One apparently went to Cape Town, South Africa and the other went to Johannesburg at some point. Anyone got any further information on those cars?

Maybe a FordBarner in South Africa would have more information to share with us about those early Model A's?

Here's the link to the list of 1927-1929 Ford Model A's in Rhodesia: https://www.classiccarsinrhodesia.co.za/Makes/Ford_A_1927-1929.html

The Rhodesian Ford Model A's from 1930-1932 are listed here: https://www.classiccarsinrhodesia.co.za/Makes/Ford_A_1930-1932.html

PS: For those who are geographically disadvantaged, Zimbabwe (formerly South Rhodesia) is bordered to the south by South Africa and to the east by Mozambique, etc...
