Model A (1928 to 1931)

The Ford Model A (1928–1931) serving as the more refined and drivable successor to the ubiquitous Model T. Unlike its predecessor, the Model A featured a conventional three-speed manual gearbox and four-wheel brakes, making it a much more practical choice for modern club rallies. In the current market, market values for a well-restored Tudor Sedan or Coupe typically range from $30,000 to $50,000 AUD, while highly sought-after Roadsters and Phaetons can command between $45,000 and $75,000 AUD depending on their degree of originality. The desirability of the Model A remains exceptionally high due to its iconic "nickel-era" styling and its status as the perfect entry point into pre-war motoring, supported by an exhaustive local parts network. The buyer pool is a dedicated mix of vintage purists who prize authentic Australian-assembled "RHD" examples and hot rod builders who view the original steel bodies as the ultimate canvas for traditional "A-bone" customs. Locally, liquidity is strongest for cars with a documented history in Australian car clubs, as these vehicles are often seen as "proven" runners that can reliably handle the heat and distances of Australian vintage touring.
