Very early 1930 Model A cars...rare as heck!
The very early 1930 Model A Ford cars, those that were assembled in November-December 1929 must be rare as heck. Have found 2 so far...any more out there?
Thanks. Pluck |

The first 1930 model A built in 1929 is even more collectable....

Research Brent...Years and years of research...Fords YEARLY and MONTHLY Assembly Record Type documents tell us so. You will be able to read all about it soon in one of the Model A magizines OR...Hopefully it will be up on my web site soon. A very interesting transsion between the 1929 models and the 1930 models.

Yes it is, what ever it was...In November Ford assembled 166 1930 cars. They were a combination of the Standard (45-B) Coupe (1), Tudor (55-B) Sedan (39), Cabriolet (68-B) (3), Fordor (170-B) Sedan (14), Town (155-C, D) Sedan (78), and Standard (165-C, D) Sedan (31). Which one of these came off the Dearborn assembly line first is unknown at this time...I sure don't but I bet someone does....Hmmmmm? Pluck Last edited by Steve Plucker; 04-02-2018 at 08:23 AM. |

No, you had an Early 1930. The Crackerbox cab was used through May 1930. The Twist lock gas cap was one of the features that identify them.

Now you have missed my point in this. I know about running changes as I have spent plenty of hours researching up at Bensen myself however SPECIFICALLY what are folks supposed to be using to determine their vehicle is an actual November or December build? Surely you are not suggesting engine numbers are you?? |

Also, another way is the Body Tag information on the firewall...The only thing I do not know is this...when a new body tag was put on a new model...did Briggs and Murray start with the number 1 or some other number sequence? Pluck Last edited by Steve Plucker; 04-03-2018 at 04:11 AM. |
