Description

Ford produced 16,470 Model A Standard Phaetons in 1930. It has four doors, a rear-mounted tire, fender skirts on the back tires, a 103.5" wheelbase, and a 10-gallon fuel tank. It weighs 2,203 pounds. Additionally, owners could buy an aftermarket cast iron unit to be placed over the engine exhaust manifold, which allowed heated air into the cab. The amount of heated air entering the cab could be adjusted by a small door. By today's standards, this is considered dangerous!
