The Model A has long served as the foundation for countless builds, but you'd have to search long and hard to find one that combines the level of curb appeal and drivability featured by this 1929 Ford Model A Rumble Seat Roadster. It's an outstanding take on the iconic Ford model, and the level of detail it shows, both aesthetically and mechanically, is truly a sight to behold. Clad in Gamma Gold paint that's accented with bronze-painted flames, this droptop absolutely commands attention, and it's just as impressive under closer scrutiny. The contrasting black running boards are in fine shape, and its doors open smoothly and sit flush in their closed position, which is a welcome sight in a segment often known more for visual impact than attention to detail.
The brown leather interior is a show-stopper, with a bench seat that has an unusual level of visual detail and ties in perfectly with the door panels it's bracketed by. Everything inside these doors appears to be in good shape, and as you turn your attention forward, you'll see a collection of VDO gauges recessed into an instrument cluster that sets off the rest of the contrasting surfaces of the dash area very effectively. There's also a Kenwood AM/FM stereo with an auxiliary port on board to offer you plenty of audio options. The rumble seat in back is fully functional, and should you find yourself behind the wheel of this vintage Ford when the skies darken, the featured black cloth soft top rises into place without issue to protect you.
This roadster is configured to provide a driving experience you won't soon tire of. Its 327-cubic-inch V8 is armed with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and intake and is in fine running form, starting up easily and offering a very prompt throttle response. It sits in a well-maintained compartment, surrounded by several chrome components that really dress things up under the hood. The suspension includes a Mustang II front end that provides rack and pinion steering, and the rear 4-link suspension includes added traction bars to help direct the power to the pavement. And, with a fully boxed frame also added to the mix, there'll be no worries that this Ford's undercarriage will flex much when under pressure.
