The seller offers for sale a Ford Model A Cabriolet from 1931, an elegant representative of early American automotive design. This particular car was purchased in Argentina before 2000 and underwent an extensive restoration before being shipped to Greece. It features the reliable 3.2-litre four-cylinder petrol engine paired with a manual gearbox. The car starts with some assistance after a year of inactivity, but the engine runs smoothly with no smoke or unusual noises. The gearbox operates well and the brakes, lights, and indicators are all functional. The car has not suffered any accident and doesn’t show visible corrosion.
The paintwork presents well, finished in a non-original colour with a deep shine and only minor imperfections typical of light use. The leather-trimmed interior has been restored and remains tidy, showing only light wear. The convertible top is in usable condition, complementing the car’s vintage character and open-air appeal.
The Ford Model A, produced from 1927 to 1931, succeeded the legendary Model T and marked a leap forward in comfort, performance, and style. Its 3.2-litre engine and improved gearbox offered smoother driving, while its variety of body styles—including this elegant cabriolet—made it a favourite among drivers of the time. Today, it remains one of the most recognised pre-war classics, admired for its simplicity, durability, and charm. This example, with its restored condition and solid mechanical base, is an appealing choice for enthusiasts looking for a classic touring car or showpiece.
