The Model A has served as a foundation for plenty of automotive projects, offering its singular vintage style to pair with high performance mechanical components geared towards lighting up the asphalt, but this 1931 Ford Model A Roadster happens to be a standout in its category and has the show trophies to prove it. With tasteful Navy-Blue paint draped over an all-steel body, this is one cool-looking ride, an open-air classic that impresses even at close range. The body panel fitment is very much on point, with nice, even gaps between the fenders, doors and rear quarter panels and the louvered hood, shaved door handles and razor-sharp contrasting pinstripes amplify its distinctive appearance.
The interior is well-configured and comfortable, featuring a plush bench seat that's bracketed by matching door panels and sits over an expanse of blue carpeting that ties in perfectly with the exterior. An aftermarket steering wheel sits on the column and pairs nicely with the center-mounted instrument cluster, where you'll find a full set of parchment-colored gauges with suitably vintage lettering in place to keep tabs on motoring functions. Should you find yourself behind the wheel and in the mood for some music, there's a Kenwood AM/FM stereo with an auxiliary port that teams with speakers mounted in the kick panels to provide a quality audio experience.
In addition to its head-turning looks, this roadster is also a blast to drive. It's powered by a 327-cubic-inch V8 that's fed by an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor perched on an intake manifold by the same manufacturer and you'll get the impression right off that bat that this is a very strong, well-built engine as it sends a deep rumbling note out of a dual exhaust that terminates in aftermarket chambered mufflers. It pairs with a four-speed 700R4 automatic transmission with an overdrive gear to make highway journeys a comfortable proposition. Built on a fully customized chassis that includes a Mustang II-style front coilover suspension, this vintage Ford offers precise rack and pinion steering and a more refined ride than you often find in this segment.
