1931 Ford Coupe For Sale
Neat old Model A with lots of traditionally styled updates. Originally built at the Richmond California Ford assembly plant.
Body: Stock un-cut coupe. Entire car is 100% Henry steel. Early body (no fuel bowl firewall indention). Original rumble seat car converted to trunk. Rumble seat riser is complete and still attached in the trunk area. Believed to be last painted (lacquer) in 1968. Body is naturally rubbed through by time (not man-made patina). Fenders are lacquer “checked”. Running board rubber is cracked in areas, but no major pieces gone. Still uses cowl tank. Gas gauge works fine. Speedometer and odometer do not work at all. One thin width patch panel in trunk floor at the very back closest to the factory rear roll pan area. This panel is only visible from inside the trunk. Otherwise, no rust. Extremely “dry” California car its entire life. I brought it to Oklahoma in 2019 from the Clovis (Fresno) area. California “black plate” car. Black plate kept in trunk area.
