This 1931 Ford Model A roadster spent time in California and underwent a refurbishment under previous ownership before it was acquired out of Kansas City by the current owner approximately five years ago. The car is finished in yellow with black accents and fenders, and power comes from a 201ci L-head inline-four paired with a three-speed manual transmission. Features include a rumble seat, a tan soft top, a klaxon horn, and a brass goose hood ornament, while modifications consist of a 12-volt electrical system, shock absorbers, hydraulically assisted four-wheel drum brakes, an overdrive system, and an under-dash horn button. This Model A is now offered on dealer consignment with a clean California title in the owner’s name.

The car was repainted in yellow with black accents and fenders under previous ownership. Features include chrome bumpers, dual brake lights, steps and handles for rumble seat occupants, running boards, a klaxon horn, and a polished radiator surround with a brass goose hood ornament. A World War II-era gasoline rations decal is affixed to the windshield along with a 1975 California Highway Patrol inspection sticker. Imperfections in the finish can be seen up close in the gallery along with photos of the tan soft top.

The painted wire wheels are mounted with 4.75/5.00–19 Firestone whitewall bias-ply tires. A spare wheel is mounted under a Ford-branded cover out back. The Model A rode on a 103.5? wheelbase, and this example is fitted with shock absorbers at all four corners. Stopping power is provided by hydraulically assisted drum brakes.

The cabin features a bench seat trimmed in black upholstery, and a black rubber floor mat lines the floor. The rumble seat is trimmed in matching upholstery and can be viewed in the gallery. An under-dash horn button was installed under previous ownership.
