1930 Ford Model A301 / 7

1930 Ford Model A

The Story

I was planning on building my own hot rod, but stumbled across this one for sale and it was everything I wanted. I bought this Model A in Grand Rapids from the GR Auto Gallery. The guy who owned it before me was from Indianapolis, and the work on the car was done by Cornfield Customs in Indiana.

It runs on a rear end and a motor from a 1939 Mercury, and I have the wide 5 wheels from that '39 Mercury on it as well.

If you ask me what my favorite part of the car is, I'd have to say everything.

Just showing — this one isn’t on the market. You can still reach the caretaker privately.
