Ford built the 1930 Model A Coupe in a Standard and Deluxe model. The 1930 Ford Coupe was one of the most popular models around. In fact, Ford outsold Chevrolet in both 1929 and 1930. One reason was that the Model A’s price started at a low $400 for the standard model making it a lot of car for the money. As a comparison, the Ford Town Sedan could have a price tag as much as $1,200.
The Different Ford Model A’s
The Ford Model A’s, the cars that replaced the very popular Model T’s were designed by both Henry Ford and Edsel Ford.
All of the Ford Model A’s look generally similar. There was a difference however between the 1928 and 1929 models compared to the 1930 and 31 models. Some of these differences with the latter models included wider and lower fenders and a higher hood. Instead of the nickel plated radiator the 1931 model had one from stainless steel. Also the latter models had smaller diameter wheels.
As a side note, there was a Ford Model A in 1903 that of course didn’t benefit from the lower prices made possible by the mass production assembly line. In July 1903, only a few weeks after the Ford Motor Company was incorporated, a Chicago dentist, Dr. Ernst Pfennig, became the first person to buy a Ford Model A for $850. Compare that to the price tags of the 1930 Model A’s.
