Synopsis

This comprehensive and detailed guide to original factory specifications, equipment, color and trim for 1928-31 Model A automobiles is ideal for the restorer. In addition to more than forty-years of experience with the Model A Ford, author Jim Schild has gathered valuable information from owners, factory literature and judging standards to provide the definitive data for authentic restorations. Accompanying the authoritative text are 275 specially commissioned color photographs to offer the most accurate reference material available for your restoration project. Illustrations of body and trim combinations and chassis parts provide a source of the correct finishes and components found nowhere else. Includes serial numbers, paint, trim, options, technical features and more. Five million Model A's were made and sold from 1928 through 1931, and it's a tribute to the car that more of them are still around today than any other car of that era. This useful guide will help determine the authenticity of your prized Model A and restore it to original grandeur.
