Rare 1930 Model A Ford 170-B Deluxe Fordor

This is a very rare Two Window Fordor or 170-B Deluxe Fordor produced by Henry Ford in 1930. The Deluxe Fordor was produced for a twelve month period between April 1930 and April 1931. A mere 13,594 were produced between the two model years. According to the VIN # 3792572, this one came off the Ford assembly line in August 1930. This beauty looks like it just rolled off the assembly line yesterday.

Even the Deluxe Fordor came with options and this car has them all. It has the rare Cowling Lights, Dual Side Mount Spare Tires, Special Grille Guard and I just love the "trunk" on the back!

Check out the Quail Hood Ornament. There are not many of those around today. My personal favorite is the etched roses on both front side windows. This car is "class" all the way.

The interior is all is the original mohair. What a ride!

Oh for the good old days when Deluxe was really Deluxe!

This is what Ford had to say about this Deluxe Fordor back in 1930:
