Description
According to available information, the car was sold new in Sweden — which makes it particularly interesting that a phaeton body style (folding soft top, four doors, four seats, and no fixed side windows) found its way here. One can imagine this body type selling well in the sunny states of the U.S., but it likely faced more challenges with the Swedish climate, even though the detachable door windows offered some degree of weather protection.
The registry shows that it was registered for road use in July 1974, most likely when it was entered into the new computerized vehicle register introduced in 1973. A previous owner, the one before the current estate, carried out a restoration — though it’s unclear when. The current owner’s estate acquired the car in 1991 and has since cared for and preserved it in the fine condition it remains in today.

Facts about the model
The Ford Model A exists in relatively large numbers in Sweden, though it’s rarely seen on the road today. The Model A succeeded Ford’s legendary bestseller, the Model T. When it was introduced in November 1927 as a 1928 model, it was just in time — competitors had caught up and surpassed the Ford Motor Company with faster, more comfortable, and better-equipped cars.
With the Model A, Ford finally had a modern automobile to offer: a stronger engine, a proper gearbox, and attractive styling. The Model A became an instant success — by February 4, 1929, one million units had already been sold, and by the end of July that same year, the number had doubled to two million.
Production of the Model A ended in March 1932, after more than four million cars had been built. According to the Swedish A-Ford Association (Svenska A-Fordarna), around 1,200 examples are registered in Sweden today. The most common variant is the 1930–31 Ford Tudor.
A major advantage for enthusiasts is that a vast range of reproduction parts is available, making it easy to keep these cars alive and running.
