AI Listing Summary

This is a rare 1931 Ford Model A A400 Convertible Sedan, one of only about 5,700 built. It was restored about fifty years ago and has been displayed since, requiring recommissioning and generator reassembly.
The car features a desirable two-year-only body style by Murray, a Ford Maroon finish with black fenders and red accents, and a brown leather interior. It comes with several period-correct accessories and is presented as a sound touring cosmetic example needing some mechanical attention.

There are usual hood edge chips, acceptable chrome, and dashboard finishing. The engine compartment is aged but not abused. However, it requires recommissioning as the engine was purportedly drained of coolant and fuel for decades, and the generator is disassembled.

The Model A was forced upon Henry in 1928 by the increasing style, performance, comfort and reliability of marques like Dodge, Maxwell and Chevrolet.

He probably intended it to last decades, just like the T, but that proved to be impossible and just four years after it appeared a crash, secret project advanced the next g...
