This Model A was built at the Ford Assembly Plant in Portland, Oregon in March of 1930. It has remained a Portland car its entire life. The license plate is original to the car.

Has received minimal use since restoration. I have personally driven this car and it is a real pleasure. One of the best. It's tight, runs beautifully and needs nothing. Everything was done right. It's truly the best of both worlds: show or go.

If you are lookng for a wonderful Model A Roadster to enjoy, this is the one.

A realistic reserve has been placed on the car in keeping with its quality. It could not be restored to this level today for the reserve price. Please bid accordingly.

WE WILL HAPPILY SELL TO BIDDERS, WORLDWIDE.
