A gorgeous example of the desirable-and-popular Model A, this Roadster retains an all-steel body, and thanks to a comprehensive restoration and painstaking care it is an AACA National First Prize winner. Powered by the 201 CI L-Head 4-cylinder engine with a floor-shifted 3-speed manual transmission, the engine uses Champion spark plugs. This car was previously owned by the Church family doctor, Dr. Triplett, during noted car-collector Bruce Church’s childhood. Bruce remembered Dr. Triplett would always enjoy a drink of white liquor while making a house call to check on the family during his youth. The doctor made many house calls, the good doctor that he was. When Dr. Triplett passed away, Bruce bought the car and restored it to show condition. Interestingly, through all of his years collecting cars, it was the only Model A Bruce owned. Finished in gray with black fenders, green reveals and yellow striping, it features chrome bumpers, painted wire wheels wrapped with Firestone gum-dipped blackwall tires, a beautiful manual folding soft top, rumble seat, rear-mounted spare tire and leather upholstery upon the seat. This is one highly detailed and exquisitely appointed Model A, exemplary of how nicely equipped these early Fords could be. The Model A replaced the aging Model T in 1927, despite of Henry Ford shaking his head, disagreeing that it was a necessary move. One of the companies most astonishing sales successes, it was first produced in October of that year, but wasn’t released for sale until December—something about Ford and late-model-year releases. By early 1929, 1 million Model As had been sold; by summertime the same year, the 2-million mark had been passed. A perfect car for an end-of-week cruise to a local watering hole with friends or family, this Model A is certain to please. Built in a simpler time for allegedly less serious stresses, it’s a great way to forget about today and tomorrow and just enjoy now. Just be sure to give the white liquor a chance to wear off before driving back home though: Doctor’s orders, you know.
