Default Reminisce 1971 Price Guide Values

In going thru older literature I found a 1971 Price Guide by Quentin Craft and while this publication covers all makes of cars I thought 1971 values for restored 1930 Fords might be of interest to us Model A folks.

DeLuxe Roadster $5995
DeLuxe Phaeton $8200
Standard Roadster, $3975
DeLuxe Roadster, $4900
Sport Coupe, $3200
Cabriolet, $5995
Coupe w/rumble seat, $3100
Tudor, $3000
Fordor, $2800
Town Sedan, $2800
Pickup, closed cab, $2200
Phaeton 4 dr. $4750
Victoria, $3950
Conv Sedan, $4975
Station Wagon (1931), $4500

This 1971 Price Guide for all makes is for sale, if you are interested.

In 1970 my parents bought a 2 family house with a 5 car garage for 21,000 _the exact same house I bought in 2008 and paid 300,000. Just some perspective....

Hemmings ads from 1967, including my father's ads for his 41 tudor that I drove 50 years ago, and his 41 woody.

To put things in perspective, how much was a quart of milk, a loaf of bread and your hourly wage? Wayne

At least in New England, those prices look to be on the inflated side. Actual "street" prices bought and sold in those days was considerably lower.

In 1971, I bought a sharp rust free solid well running 1929 Tudor for $800. Needed an interior but it was driven around greater Boston for several monthes until swapped off. What was it traded for? You'll love this . . . Got a spiffy original 1934 Ford deluxe fordor V8 sedan (like the Bonnie & Clyde car) with 28,000 original miles. The guy that swapped me the 34' V8 bought it for $1,200 that same year. A couple of years later, I sold that car for $1,600. Had a few Model A and V8 Ford cars during that period and never paid more than a thousand bucks. And those car were very decent . . .not being mice infested rotted out barn finds either. Prices on vintage cars (and everything else) really started to escalate in the later 1970s with the Jimmy Carter great INFLATION era and dollar devaluation.
