1929 Model A Briggs Blind Back 4 Door Sedan

How many times have you been excited after driving a car? They all do the same thing, tart, top, limate controlled, ush the right pedal, t goes, ush the otherpedal it stops. Great radio, ower windows, hink we are jaded a bit with how well things work.

Then there is this 1929 Model A. It should have personalized plates that say “SMILE”. That’s what it does every time you look at it, very time you start it, verytime you drive down the driveway. Oh, nd everyone else is smiling, r waving, ven following you to find out what year it is (while I was taking images, or the first time, wo separate cars stopped to say what a great looking car it was).

This is the third stock Model A we have had. None of them have created the same feeling or reaction. None of them drove this well, one of them were this fun to be in, im down the road and I cannot tell you exactly why. But it is true, his Model A is fun. Been awhile since I drove a fun car that made everyone else smile.

We got a call from a gentleman in Sacramento recently who saw the car for sale. He gave us the story of the car and more information then we had received from our seller.

The car was found in Truckee, alifornia in 1979 by a Model A hobbyist who had mechanical experience and recognized what the car was. It was in fact a Briggs bodied Blind Back Ford, rather rare A. Bodies were built by Briggs or Murphy for Ford and Briggs are much scarcer these days. He rebuilt the engine, dding a B head. The transmission was gone through as well as the rear end and brakes. The body was in excellent condition and at the time, nly the shell was painted, ot the fenders, one in lacquer. The car was featured in the 1980 Model A magazine with the owner dressed with his buddies in Key Stone Cop customs.

Unfortunately, ssues arose and the car was sold at the Turlock Swap Meet about ten years ago. The new owner kept it here in Grants Pass until selling it once again to thepresent owner who had the top and interior done this year by Greg’s Upholstery.

Starting is instant, urn on the fuel, etard the ignition, ive it a little hand throttle, ake sure you are in neutral, ush the started button over the gas pedal with your right foot and off it lites. If this was a modern car and I hit the brakes, would park immediately, ut they are mechanical and work, ou just need to respect what you are driving and act accordingly.
