"Very pleasant to drive and unusually nice body and interior. Ready to drive."

Description

The A-Ford was renovated in the late 70s by a collector in Boxholm. He imported the car from Denmark in 1972. Before the registration inspection, the car was fitted with front and rear indicators. In addition, fire extinguishers and hidden switches (anti-theft) are installed in a secret location.
The A-Ford has been one of Sweden's most popular vintage cars of all time. Now a new generation has discovered the A-Ford's qualities. This A-Ford can also be something of a "sleeper". A car in visible original design, but with something interesting under the hood, namely the cylinder head from Thomas and Scintilla magnetic ignition, which makes the car feel noticeably more lively than others we have driven. The A-Ford is found in relatively large numbers in Sweden, but they are rarely seen in traffic. Now a new generation is changing this. The allure of driving a car from motoring's teenage years is contagious. It is important to have an ear for the engine and be able to maintain the correct speed when shifting the unsynchronized gearbox. If you drive a modern car, you are really driving an A-Ford. The car was reportedly sold new in Denmark and has been part of a larger car collection since 2014. Instruction book and spare wheel are included.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Equipped with 4-cylinder side valve engine and 3-speed unsynchronized gearbox. In the original version, the stated power is 40hp. When driving the car, it responds excellently to the gas, this is because the flywheel is lightened and means that 1st gear does not need to be used when starting. A look under the bonnet revealed that the car is equipped with Scintilla (Vertex) magneto ignition and Thomas cylinder head with cooling fins. The radiator fan has 4 blades, compared to the original's 2 blades. Extra cool on the side of the block "powered by winfield". The car runs smoothly and nicely. Equipped with original mechanical brakes. Renovated electrical system with new cables in 6-volt design. Good 6-volt battery. The car is serviced and ready to drive.

  • Interior condition:

    Nice interior from the 70s, with button-upholstered seat upholstery. Good and comfortable padding in the seats. Slightly wavy door sides. Nice roof and nice rubber mat. Extra equipped with heating package with working fan.

  • Exterior condition:

    Stylish two-tone body with a new outer roof, what used to be called a pegamoid roof. Straight and nice body. The car was renovated in the 70s and is of a good standard. Flawless chrome on the bumper and equipped with the nice stone chip guard in front of the radiator. Relatively new tyres. Absolutely completely stainless. Original starter crank included.

  • General condition:

    A car that arouses desire, starts immediately and rolls easily with good comfort. Nice body, with all details in good condition. Highly recommended to the discerning Ford enthusiast.

Facts about the model

Om T-Forden satte världen på hjul så var det A-Forden som fick upp farten på världen. A-Ford var efterföljaren till Fords storsäljare T-Forden. När A-Forden introducerades i november 1927, som 1928 års modell var det i grevens tid. Konkurrenterna hade kört ikapp och förbi Ford Motor Company med bättre, snabbare och bekvämare bilar. Med A-Forden fick man nu en modern bil att saluföra. Starkare motor, riktig växellåda och snygg design. A-Forden blev en omedelbar succé. Den fjärde februari 1929 hade man redan sålt 1 miljon exemplar av bilen. I slutet av juli samma år hade man dubblat till 2 miljoner sålda bilar. Produktionen av A-Forden avslutades i mars 1932, efter att ha tillverkats i totalt 4 858 644 exemplar. Enligt föreningen Svenska A-Fordarna finns cirka 1200 A-Fordar registrerade i Sverige. Den variant som finns i flest exemplar är Ford Tudor 1930-31. Nytillverkade delar finns i massor att köpa, så det är lätt att hålla dessa bilar vid liv.
