This 1929 Ford Model A Cabriolet takes traditional Ford Hot-Rod proportions and gives them a decidedly custom twist. The all-steel body sits on its original Ford frame, but the Neon Green finish immediately sets this Model A apart. Underneath, a Chevrolet 4.3L V6, 700R4 Overdrive Automatic and 9-bolt rear end replace the original Model A drivetrain, while disc brakes, tilt steering and upgraded cooling add modern Street-Rod functionality. The removable top and original glass windshield preserve the open-air character that makes the Cabriolet such an appealing body style.

Maintenance & Vehicle History
This Model A has been built as a traditional Street Rod while retaining its all-steel construction and original Ford frame. The car also has disc brakes, a pusher-style electric cooling fan and a newer fuel tank relocated to the trunk. The original glass windshield retains its factory-style opening function, allowing it to be pushed outward for additional ventilation. Inside, a tilt steering column and auxiliary gauges have been added, while the original speedometer remains in place and is reported to operate properly. The Neon Green body presents well overall, although there are scratches on the hood and several paint chips. The Neon Green finish gives this Model A a completely different presence from a traditional Black, Red or subdued-colored Hot Rod, while the all-steel Cabriolet body keeps the unmistakable shape of the original Ford. Add the opening windshield, removable top and original frame, and there is still plenty of 1929 Ford character underneath the custom treatment. For someone looking for an all-steel Model A Cabriolet that doesn't disappear into a crowd of traditional Hot Rods, this one combines genuine vintage construction with a Chevrolet V6, overdrive automatic, disc brakes and a color that makes its intentions pretty clear. The car is offered for sale by Owner and is located in Sparks, Nevada.

❤️ From the Seller
“This 1929 Ford Model A Cabriolet combines classic open-air Model A styling with a more modern Chevrolet drivetrain and driver-friendly upgrades. Featuring an all-steel body on its original frame, removable convertible top, 4.3L V6, 700R4 automatic overdrive transmission, and disc brakes, this is a traditional street rod built to be enjoyed. Unlike many fiberglass-bodied Model A builds, this example retains its all-steel construction and original Ford frame, giving it the authentic feel and character enthusiasts appreciate. Power comes from a 1990-era Chevrolet 4.3L V6 equipped with a four-barrel carburetor. The 4.3L provides a substantial improvement in drivability while fitting neatly into the Model A platform. Backing the engine is a 700R4 automatic transmission, providing an overdrive gear that makes the car much better suited to cruising than the original Model A drivetrain. Power is sent to a 9-bolt rear end with 3.42 gearing, providing a good combination for street driving and highway cruising. The Cabriolet body retains the unmistakable proportions that made the Model A one of the most recognizable American automobiles ever produced. Its removable convertible top allows it to be enjoyed as an open-air cruiser while still providing weather protection when desired. Another great period feature is the original glass windshield, which retains its factory- style opening function and can be pushed outward for additional ventilation. The body presents well overall, although it is not being represented as a flawless show car. There are some scratches on the hood along with several paint chips, giving the next owner the option of simply enjoying the car as-is or addressing the cosmetic imperfections over time. Inside, the Model A has been updated with a tilt steering column for improved driving comfort while retaining some of its original character. Additional gauges have been installed to monitor the upgraded drivetrain, while the original speedometer remains in place and is reported to operate properly. This Model A strikes a nice balance between vintage character and practical upgrades. The all-steel body, original frame, opening original-glass windshield, and working original speedometer preserve important pieces of its 1929 identity, while the Chevrolet V6, 700R4 overdrive, disc brakes, tilt steering, and upgraded cooling make it much more approachable for modern driving. For someone looking for an all-steel Model A Cabriolet that can actually be driven and enjoyed, rather than a car that has to remain parked at a show, this 1929 Ford offers an appealing combination of vintage style and street-rod usability.

 🧠 Did you know?
The 1929 Ford Model A Cabriolet was a distinctive open-body Model A. Cataloged as the 68-A Cabriolet, this specific designation was unique to the 1929 model year, making it a relatively uncommon body style within Ford’s enormous Model A production before it was succeeded by the updated 68-B and 68-C versions in 1930 and 1931. It combined a closed-car-style body and roll-up glass windows with a folding fabric top and a standard rear rumble seat, giving it a character between a roadster and a closed coupe. Power came from Ford’s 201-cubic-inch four-cylinder engine, rated at 40 horsepower, backed by a three-speed manual transmission. The Cabriolet was built with a Briggs body and was available in Ford’s 1929 color combinations; worldwide production for this initial 1929 variant is commonly documented at about 17,744 examples, although surviving factory records distinguish U.S. production figures from broader totals.
