Ford Model A

The Ford Model A was the crucial successor to the long-running Model T. Produced from late 1927 through 1931, it was a major leap forward, introducing a 3-speed sliding-gear transmission, 4-wheel mechanical brakes, and a 40 hp L-head engine that nearly doubled the T's output. Ford sold nearly 5 million Model As across an incredible variety of body styles, from basic Tudors and pickups to stylish Roadsters and Cabriolets.

The Model A's enduring appeal comes from its simplicity, reliability, and immense parts and club support network. It's one of the most accessible and usable pre-war classics, perfect for local shows, parades, and tours. The wide range of body styles ensures there's a Model A to fit almost any collector's taste and budget, making it a cornerstone of the American collector car hobby.

The market for the Model A is mature and active, with 411 recent sales demonstrating consistent demand. The average price of $20,259 confirms that good, driver-quality cars are affordable. The broad price spectrum reflects the difference between unrestored projects and pristine, rare body styles like DeLuxe Roadsters, which command top dollar.

Prices range from $995 for project cars to $98,500 for concours-quality rare body styles.
