Quickly following its predecessor, by the spring of 1930 some three million Model As had been produced. The 1930 cars adopted a larger balloon type tires on smaller wheels combination which gave it a more sporting lower line than the year before. As ever, a wide range of coachwork was offered, this being an example of the Deluxe Phaeton, which features single side mounted spare, with metal cover, painted wheels, whitewall tires, quail radiator cap, rear luggage rack, running board step plates and leather upholstery among other niceties. In two door form as seen here, a lower roof line was also adopted. A proportionately modest 3946 were delivered that year to customers who paid $625 for the car. This extremely handsome Phaeton has been restored in what would appear chicle drab/copra drab grey tones, with the accenting pinstripe and wheels in Tacoma Cream. Its engine number would place the car as being produced in October 1929. Information on file is limited to importation paperwork showing the car to have arrived in the Netherlands in December 1996.
