Today’s featured vehicle is a 1931 Ford Model A Tudor. The successor to the Model T began production in October 1927 and presented Ford customers with a much more refined transportation experience than the Model T did. A 40-horsepower, 200-cubic-inch flathead four nearly doubled the output of the Model T’s four-cylinder engine, and a positively modern three-speed gearbox replaced the T’s planetary design. Model As featured practically identical drivetrains but came in a bevy of body styles, including the (relatively common) Tudor sedan before us today.
