I found models of my '31 Pickup, and my friend's '50 Pickup on eBay.

Search.....1929 Model A Ford Fordor Diecast, not many 29 models made compared to 31s.

Hubley model cars have all kinds of models of Model A's. Same comment, go on EBay and key in Hubley cars.

Also many Model A clubs and at local and national meets they have races of Hubey Model A's

Hubley made a Fordor model. The only place you'll find them now is on ebay,though.

All Hubley Model A's are 1930 models.

Not correct, they show up every once in a while here on the Fordbarn. I currently have 2 listed on Fordbarn swap meet. I will repost so they are near the top of the list. One of them is a 31 town sedan and the other is a 30 roadster.

Well, OK-I guess my point was to say they are not being made anymore.

Good morning, here is a link to a thread on my Hubley Sedan "Build". http://fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=180237 I got my '30 Town Sedan off ebay but after I bought it I heard of "Ralph the Hubley Man" 562-863-0302. You might give him a try. I seem to remember Tom Endy did an article on him...?

There's a couple for sale on the A swap section now. FWIW

Though not a Fordor and not a 1929, AMT made a plastic 1/25 scale 1928 Model A Tudor kit:




...also Jordan Products makes an HO scale 1928 Tudor kit in their Highway Miniature series:


...kinda close...

Did Hubley make a 1930 Tudor?

No, except for the Victoria

[duke36]

Hubley originally made 7 body styles for the A. As stated, Victoria, Fordor (town) sedan, station wagon,coupe, roadster pickup, phaeton, roadster, all with left fender well. Some appear to be hybrids between '30 and '31, all with '30 rad. shells, one piece splash aprons, straight windshields except the Vicky. One can grind off and fill in the fender well and place the spare on the rear with a screw or dowel, etc.

All but the Vicky. I used the fenders (without tire well) from the Victoria kit on my Hubley Town Sedan to match my 'real' Town Sedan (See Avitar).

Recall those Hubley metal Model A Ford kits from the late 1950s. To recollection, there was a Fordor, Phaeton, Roadster and Pickup Truck. There might have been a Coupe also. The kit assembler was required to remove lots of raw flashing and the cast body panels were joined with fat Phillips screws. My favorite was the big Fordor sedan. Fun thing about those Hubley cars was that if a person got tired of the model color, it could be dropped into a bucket of paint remover. Wipe it off and then hit it again with some fresh rattle can spray paint.

There was a "Made in China" brand of 1:18 scale of 1931 Model A Ford cars under at least one name of "Motor City Classics" . Those assembled metal models were manufactured from the late 1990s through the about 2007. The 1/18th cars show up on Ebay all the time at various "Buy it Now" prices from around twenty bucks to well over a hundred smackers.
.
I was able to purchase one of the year 2000 edition 1931 Ford Roadsters for $23 plus $8 shipping. The detail on these models is quite good. This car even has a Flying Quail radiator cap. There seem to have been a few different cars created including 1931 Pickup, Roadster, Tudor Sedan, Van and Tow Truck. There also variations such as Tudor Model A Ford police car. Also too, there was a Tudor sedan rusty rat infested "Barn Find" heap and others.

My only critique was the positioning of the cowl lights which seemed too far back on the cowl. After getting the 31' Roadster model it was realized that to open the hood with clearance it was necessary for the manufacturer to place the cowl lights in that position.

Victoria may be a 30, but all Victoria's look like 1931 vehicles.

On any model I've looked at, the spoked wheels are not right. Any models with proper wheels out there?

[5window]

I'd like to find a source for a '31 coupe.

Ebay, there are 3 on there now
