"Neat and unusual model that draws attention."

Description

The background story of this vehicle is unknown. It has been in Sweden for a long time, possibly since it was new. It is said to have come from Denmark, which is plausible since A-Fords for Sweden were usually assembled in Copenhagen. The body of the car is very well-made with a windshield, which suggests that the vehicle may have been a delivery chassis that received the body as new. The body is built on a wooden frame, mostly made of oak, using solid old-fashioned craftsmanship. The mileage-graded meter supports the theory of the car's origin.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine runs well and the starter motor feels powerful. All controls work as they should, and the brakes are even. The engine compartment is mostly original, except for a couple of newer coolant hoses and an air filter. The lights works, and the reflectors are nice and shiny. Equipped with turn signals and a modern relay for this, which is visible on the steering column. Windshield wiper exists but not working

  • Interior condition:

    The most dominant feature inside is the well-preserved wooden interior. The inner roof is a veneer that is in good condition, with a small damage at the rear. The door panels are made of wood, which was common on delivery vans and small trucks of this time. The rear floor has been replaced with modern plywood, but the rest of the interior is of older date. At the time of purchase, seats from a VW Transporter were installed, which the owner replaced with a sofa. This sofa most likely comes from some American minibus/SUV. At the time of the photo shoot, it was mounted temporarily. There are also sofas from a Saab that were intended to be in the cargo area, but this is fairly optional. These are simple vehicles, and it is possible to find or make a sofa of the original design. The instrumentation, paint, and floor are in very good condition. Window cranks and handles are not original.

  • Exterior condition:

    The car has a neat paint job, with bumper and outer wood in good condition. The accents in the wood break the otherwise straight body sides with good balance. The roof is covered in white artificial leather in good condition.

  • General condition:

    A good and fresh car inside and out with a few minor deviations from the original. Mechanically in good condition and very nice in all wooden details.

Facts about the model

I USA såldes A-Ford som skåpbil - delivery. men dessa gick sällan på export. I Europa byggdes model A främst i Trafford Park, England, Cork på Irland, Köln i Tyskland och i Köpenhamn. Bland villkoren för sammansättning utomlands var oftast att många delar skulle tillverkas lokalt. Återförsäljare såg ofta ett behov för just skåpbilar, pickuper och liknande och då gick uppdraget ofta till lokala karossmakare. Stora skälet var alltså att hålla igång lokal näringsverksamhet och därför skiljer det sig ofta mycket mellan hur dessa såg ut och hur de var uppbyggda.
