The seller offers for sale a 1930 Ford Model A Phaeton Cabriolet, a classic open four-door touring car from the early days of motoring. This Model A is powered by a four-cylinder petrol engine paired with a manual gearbox, delivering a driving experience that reflects the simplicity and charm of pre-war automobiles. The car is documented as a historic vehicle and was first registered in Spain in 1930. It retains original components and presents with attractive paintwork and a well-kept interior that suits its period character. The engine runs well and the gearbox shifts smoothly, allowing the car to be driven with confidence. No accidents or damage are reported, and no technical modifications have been carried out, preserving the authentic driving feel.
The cabriolet is fitted with a fabric soft top that is present and in good condition. The roof material and stitching show careful upkeep, and the folding mechanism operates smoothly and quietly, making it easy to enjoy open or covered driving depending on conditions.
The Ford Model A was introduced in 1927 as the successor to the legendary Model T and played a key role in bringing modern automotive design to a wider audience. It offered improved comfort, styling, and mechanical refinement for its time. The Phaeton variant, with its four doors and open body, was especially popular for touring and social outings. Today, the Model A is appreciated for its historical importance, mechanical honesty, and welcoming driving manners, making it a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts of early classic cars.
