1931 Victoria complete nut and bolt restoration to judging standards

Description for Ford Model A 1931

This 1931 Model A Victoria #A4741190. indented firewall. has undergone a complete and extensive. ground up. nut and bolt restoration. done to Model A judging standards. Great care has been taken to assure that every part of this car is Ford correct. This low production car was restored with the idea of never selling it. so. no expense was spared or detail overlooked. The engine was rebuilt by a well known Model A engine rebuilder. Internally it was built to tour (after showing). It has a counterbalanced crankshaft. and a touring cam. The only thing externally that is not absolutely correct is that it has a Brumfield high compression head. It has the correct side bowl carburetor. It has a lightened flywheel and V-8 clutch and pressure plate. The transmission is completely rebuilt. The rear end has been rebuilt with the 3:54-1 touring gear. The frame and all connected parts were disassembled and powdercoated. The underside of the car is as nice as the topside. The body has been carefully painted the correct (by Ford Archives) Ford Maroon using PPG Concept. It has the Vermillion stripe. All of the wood is new. All of the stainless was professionally restored and polished. All of the nuts and bolts and washers and lockwashers are of the same configuration and color of the originals. The tires are new Firestones 4. 50/4. 75 x 19. with correct valve stems and hardware. The interior is the correct broad cloth. The curtains were handwoven to exactly match the original fabric. All of the garnish moldings are woodgrained in the correct stiple mahogany. It has the correct rebuilt windshield wiper that parks to the left. It has the factory pop-out switch. It does have the Flathead Henry floating brake system which is easily replaced with original. but it sure does stop better. It has all new cast iron brake drums with shoes arched to the drums. The top has the correct molding bent to the roof radius with the rubber insert. This car runs and drives like new. It has fewer than 100 miles since restoration. I have many more pictures.
