    You have a rare very early production (probably 1927 production) AR Model A Roadster. Look on the drivers side of the gas tank under the hood and there is a date stamped into it. The left hand brake is a left over from the Model T. This car is very rare. Ive only seen 1 and I'm 72. DON'T rod it. Go trade for one that's done

      Unless those aren't the original wheels, it would not be earlier than a 1928. Before 1928, Ford put wooden spoked wheels. Without researching, I say between a 1928 - 1930 Roadster.

    My father use to have one 29 that he used mostly in the region of the "Triângulo Mineiro" in the country side of the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, when I was a kid, up to 1952, when he imported from England, a Morris Oxford.
    Since I was very young, I don't remember ever to have been in the passanger seat, only in the backseat in the trunk.
    It was a 4 cylinder, not a Flat-head V8. I still have some fotos with the car, my dad and me, in my mom's lap.

    Never try turning an old unknown motor over till you put at least half a cup of Marvel Mystery oil in each cylinder then let it sit overnight. If possible spray it in so it coats the entire piston head and cylinder walls.
    You can easily destroy the rings, piston and cylinder if you don't.

    Trade or sell it to a collector and buy something else to chop up and paint red. This one is a gem and they are gems only once in their lives. If Hannah wants to keep and restore it great, just study how to do it correctly or have the correct people do it for/with you. Congrats on a fantastic find.

    Some of the old Fords came with wood floor boards.
    Henry Ford would buy parts that came in wooden crates but he would specify that certain holes be cut in the boards. Those crates were carefully dismantled and the boards were used for floor boards, already made to fit the pedals.

    • @tarstakars

    • @pappabob29
      @pappabob29 Před rokem +1

      True!! But I believe that was in the "Model T" era and the crates were what the glass came in.
      The Model A began being built in 1928 when the Rouge River plant was built. During that time, Henry was WAY past needing free wood as he had his own timber forrest, rubber plantation, and was making his own steel and glass at the plant. There are several videos here on CZcams about the Rouge River plant.

    Way better condition and a lot more complete than most enthusiasts start with. Amazingly little rust on the body and the engine turning over was a win. I don’t think its particularly rare (they sold A LOT of em) but still popular and well supported in the aftermarket, a lot of reproduction parts are available. definitely worth a few bucks to the right buyer. Cool find! 👍

    Early model 28. Parking brake is on the left and no outside door handles or glass windows. Windows were side-curtains that rolled up and tied in place.
    On late '28's the parking brake was in the center by the shift lever, and it had outside door handles with roll-up glass windows.

    I am actually related to Henry Ford. But not close enough to be "in the money". My grandmother told me that Henry gave her cousin a new car back in the day. The rest of my family thought Grandma was crazy but I proved it through genealogy research after she died. I think this is on my Compton/Jackson side of the family. I am actually related to Henry's father or Grandfather. Haven't looked at it in years...

    I have been screwed out of 2 great barn finds. 1 a Model T flatbed with a full steel cab. We had a deal, so I pulled it out and the next day the guy wouldn't let me take it. He now wanted $10,000 instead of the 3 plus the rest of the labor taking down the out buildings. I came back with 7,000. No deal. I was already out of all the work I did. 5 years later it sold at his farm sale for $7,000. The next was a 1931 Chevy 5 window coup. We made a deal, so a few days later I showed up with my equipment to find it gone. I have found several others over the years and it always ended the same way..... I quit looking in barns......

    This car is in remarkably good condition as "Barn Finds" go. Just ran across this video a little while ago and was very excited when you showed the interior and it showed the park brake lever on the left side of the car. That makes this car a "early" 1928 vehicle. The body on this car is in VERY GOOD condition!! Most of the time the fenders are all bent and split, the sides of the body is all rotten at the bottom and many times the motor is seized. I would wager this one will run with minimum effort and parts. One of your main concerns will be to ensure you are getting all the mouse bedding out of the internals. I would LOVE to be "playing" with this one!!!

    The floor is supposed to be wood. You can find virtually everything to put this car back to original. Battery ,6volt, positive ground, goes under your feet below the removable wood floor. I believe this might be a1927. First year of Model A. Model A was built from 1927 to 1932. This would be amazing restored. The wheels are 21 inch. Good find.

      Model As were made until 1931. In 1932 they were the Model B. Your correct that it's either a 27 or 28 because the emergency brake is on the left. My 1929 was next to the shifter.

      This is a 1928 Model A. The Model T was produced through 1927. Major difference between 1928 and 1929 roadsters was the 1928 had no door handle on the outside. 1930-31 Model A's were a larger body size.

      The rumor is that Henry Ford bought engines. They were shipped in wood crates. The crates were drilled and cut to size. The crates were taken apart, and then became the floor.

    During that era, radiator and fuel caps with different icons could be had. On my fathers car the fuel / gas cap was topped with a "pointer" (hunting dog) , while the radiator cap sported a quail in flight. Enjoy. Narragansett Bay.

    As others have said, you have quite an excellent barn find. That is a very early production production Model A commonly notated as an AR. Spotting features include the pan alternator left side by the radiator, the left hand pistol grip hand brake, the red steering wheel. These features were only included on the first few months of manufacture. Of the over 5million built, this would be among the first few thousand. You should be able to find the motor number stamped on the block just below where the head meets the block. If the motor is original to the car, you should be able to match the engine number to the month built. If it’s original, the number will be low. there is also a matching number stamped on the frame that is only visible with the body off. If the engine a frame number math, that is an added value to the $$$ of the car. The great thing about the model a is that there were so many built, there are still a lot of original parts out there to replace what is missing. Also because it was such a popular car there are many many nice reproduction parts out there to use until originals can be found.
    I’m not a fan of street rods, and I wouldn’t normally discourage someone from chopping and hopping an old car if that’s what they want to do, BUT in this case with a really complete original EARLY production car… keep it original. Restore it if you want but keep it in its original 4 cylinder splendor. THAT IS AN EXCEPTIONAL FIND.
    You can also look for chapters of model A Ford Clubs in your area. This would be a great source of help and information on this car. Those club guys are really friendly and knowledgeable. Good luck.

      thanks! yes we are going to keep it original and are in the prosses of working on the engine, unfortunately the numbers on the firewall are not there! if you would like to see our update on this car check out our new video czcams.com/video/T_QdAcmfXbo/video.html

      @@MuddyRascals Hey... Thanks for the reply. Glad to hear back from you. You said you couldn't find the date on the firewall. That is possible. BUT, take a look at the engine block on the side that has the cylinder walls and oil filler tube. From front to back on the block, there should be a narrow rectangular area at the top edge of the block. There you should see a number, not necessarily a date. If the number is low it very well could be the original engine. There are online resources to verify approximate build dates based on the engine number. If your taking the car down to the frame; if the engine is original to the car, there will be a matching number stamped on the top of a long frame rail somewhere in the area of where the front of the body was. You cannot see that number if the body is on the frame.
      Ill be sure to check out the video. Good luck.

    I think it might be a 1929, judging from the lenses on the headlights. The 28's had vertical fluted lenses and were also on very early 29's. Yours has a later model lens. Nice old car that should be fun to restore!

    Early production Ford Model A ‘28 Roadster. Telltale signs of an early “28 include red steering wheel, parking (not emergency) brake on left. Someone replaced the original headlights with sealed beams. Original powerhouse generator. Ammeter missing. I’d be interested in knowing the engine serial number (on flat spot on left side of block) to see if older than my March of ‘28 Roadster.

    I had one just like that. It was a 1929 Ford Model A Convertabale Roadster with a Rumble seat where the trunk lid is. My father gave it to me when I was ten. The I believe the 1928, 1929, and 1930 were very similar.
    The engines were near bullet proof. I believe the car is very valuable if restored. You should take care of that car. Every piece is very valuable.
