Ford built them by the millions. Yet today there are so few left that have not been chopped up and, in my opinion, destroyed by overzealous individuals trying to make them into something they are not. This is one of one with a theme, CALIFORNIA OR BUST. It is a get-in-and-go, drive-anywhere auto. Highly original beauties are being bought by fun-loving people of all ages. Owning a Model A is a journey; an experience that can be enjoyed for a lifetime. It also represents the need to congregate. We buy classic vehicles to show them, drive them and most of all talk about them. Enjoy reading the ad, viewing 40 closeup photos, and a live video. 

 

This car represents a time in our history when families from all over our land reached out for a better life during the 20s and 30s. People took what they had and headed West, and many found their way to California - the promised land. There is a wide assortment of items and gadgets displayed on and around the car, like tools, cans,  boxes, kitchenware, and even a hot water bottle. Every item on display goes with the car.

The car has many more friends than I do. It is a shining star when displayed at the club, in a yard, at a show, gas station, grocery store, on the highway, or city street. Even though it has not been restored, it shows well with its wide white tires, mellow yellow wheels, and two-tone paint. It has been serviced and inspected. It features a new radiator, radiator grill, water pump, 12-volt starter, 12-volt alternator, and engine rebuild. It starts quickly every time. It handles well, is easy to drive, and has been dependable.

EXTERIOR

 

No attempt has been made to cover up or hide anything. Top to bottom this is a value automobile. The days of 'too nice to touch' vehicles are overrated and not as popular as they once were. One scratch means disaster. This Ford is a bigger draw than those $50,000 Novas or $100,000 Corvettes....and a lot more fun. Large Route 66 emblems adorn both sides. Notice 'California or Bust' on the back and the rear-mounted spare wheel and tire and the faint California on both sides of the hood. The bumpers, headlights, cowl lights, running board covers and trim, radiator grill, and underside panels are new. If you like driving in cold weather this car keeps you toasty warm, it has a manifold heater.  

 

INTERIOR

 

The interior is nice and cozy. The seats are comfortable. It has been redone. There are no worn or marginal areas. The headliner is intact. The dash is beautiful. The glass is good except for the driver's side rear is cracked. Turn signals have been added for convenience and safety. The floor mat fits well and shows no wear.

 

Here's a great value automobile. It is not only well-priced but has a theme and a wonderful story to tell. The new owner will receive more than their money's worth. It most definitely is a crowd-pleasing motor car. This is a buy-it- now or best-offer listing and will be sold to the highest bidder. Buy it now for $12,900. or submit a sensible offer. I have a green title registered in my name.

 We reserve the right to cancel the auction before it ends if we are presented with an acceptable offer.
