1929 Ford Model A Roadster By a wide margin, Ford Model A\'s are the oldest cars with a large following.  There are chapters of the Model A Ford Club of America in every state and internationally in places like New Zealand and Sweden!  There\'s a chapter in the little college town of Cedar City, Utah, (population 36,000), and another one in the next town over, practically in the middle of the desert!  All this to say these are still wildly popular and important cars and while we don\'t claim to sell as many as Henry Ford, we have seen our share of Model A\'s finding new homes.  For consignment, a 1929 Ford Model A roadster with a wonderful color combination and a ton of extra parts that will accompany it.  1929 saw the greatest number of Model A\'s produced in one year with more than 1.5 million units produced including the two-millionth car which left the assembly plant on July 24th, 1929.  This particular example is presently gracing our Hallowed Halls and shows a non-verifiable 22,257 miles on the odometer.  Exterior The steel bodied car is painted in period correct Balsam Green and black.  I know we throw the word iconic around, but this truly is!  The black fenders and running boards are matched by the black canvas top and its exposed braces while darker colors are offset by yellow 21-inch wire wheels with white wall tires and the contrast is spectacular.  Matching yellow spares are mounted on the fenders for added pop while the window frame, door headers, and rear trim are a darker green.   The radiator surround and quail ornament are in nice shape and the metal and wood of the luggage rack presents like a handsome fence out back.  The paint is very presentable but far from perfect, glossy in some spots and rather flat in others.  There are marks and dings and multiple chips on the fenders along with some small tears in the retractable top.  Interior Black vinyl door panels are simple in design and show some patina as do the leather straps that limit their swing.  The material covers the bench seat as well and is in excellent condition as is the rumble seat which has a bit more grain texture to the vinyl.   The standard 4 spoke steering wheel is in place and in the center of the dash, the gauge cluster in a polished metal panel.  The metal dash is painted a darker green with a border of Balsam, and the floor is covered in a black rubber mat with some cracks.  The floor mounted shifter, parking brake, and pedals are in fine shape, pleasantly patina\'d but fully intact.     Drivetrain Behind the engine cover, a driver quality 201ci four cylinder is in place with some evident surface rust on the exhaust and spark plugs but otherwise relatively clean.  It\'s fed by a rebuilt 1-barrel carburetor and motivated to motion by a 3-speed manual transmission sending power to the rear differential which houses 3.70 gears.  Disc brakes, yes discs, are up front while the hydraulic drums are in the back.   Undercarriage Free of dirt, but not oil, the undercarriage is simple by today\'s standard, easy to access and a history lesson on wheels!  We note an oil drop at the rear differential and more at the pan and transmission.  Surface oxidation is reserved for the single exhaust which enters a stock style exhaust before the tailpipe terminates under the car.  It wouldn\'t be long before manufacturers realized it would be great to extend that pipe past the rear bumper, creating a more pleasurable driving experience.  Drive-Ability And speaking of driving experience, we gladly pedaled this driver quality A onto the test loop where it performed well, the 201 eagerly taking us through its paces and 3rd gear brings us to speed.  There weren\'t many functions on Model A\'s, by today\'s standards, they were bare bones.  As such, everything intended to operate on this vehicle does.  While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working
