The seller offers for sale this 1926 Ford Model A Phaeton, powered by a 3.3-litre four-cylinder engine, paired with a 3-speed manual transmission. Finished in cream with black wings, running boards and wire wheels, this Model A wears a period-correct colour scheme set off by a red leather interior. The four-door open coachwork is fitted with a folding soft top that can be raised for weather protection or lowered for open touring. The car comes with a practical set of accessories collected by the current owner, including a fitted dust cover to keep it clean in storage, a trickle charger, a set of four axle stands to relieve the tyres during long periods of standing, and four moving dollies that make it easy to manoeuvre the car in a tight space. It presents in good condition throughout and is ready to be enjoyed at classic events and on weekend drives.
The Ford Model A arrived as the long-awaited successor to the Model T and was produced in very large numbers during the late 1920s and early 1930s. It introduced a more powerful 3.3-litre side-valve four-cylinder engine and a conventional three-speed sliding-gear gearbox, together with four-wheel brakes, all of which made it considerably easier to drive than its predecessor. Ford offered the model in a wide range of body styles, and the four-door open Phaeton remains one of the most attractive and sought-after variants among pre-war enthusiasts today.
With its simple and robust mechanical layout, the Model A is widely regarded as one of the most approachable vintage cars to own and maintain, supported by good parts availability and a strong international following. This example offers the chance to acquire an open Phaeton in good condition, complete with a useful collection of storage and handling accessories.
