C. D. Kass (1929/1979 Roadster) - cdkass@centuryinter.net. Had a 1931 Vicky a few years back. Sold same. Saw a dandy late 1929 Roadster twin mount at auto show, sign said: GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY 1929/1979 MODEL A ROADSTER LIMITED-LAST OF THE MODEL A'S SOLD BY FORD DEALERS-FACTORY BUILT-WARRANTED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY. Being a retired Chief of Police, my memory jogged and I recall seeing these Model A's in the Ford dealership in 1979 wherein we purchased our squad fleet. Found one-bought same.
To my knowledge, this is the only time a major auto manufacturer participated in the reproducing of a famous car out of it's past. Ford supplied the platform, The Model A Reproduction Corporation of Detroit manufactured the autos (five different late 1929 body styles) and Ford, Mercury & Lincoln dealers sold them. Nationally advertised (was on CNN), Motor Trend, Car & Driver and other auto magazines praised "the last of the Model A's" as highly successful. One dealer in NJ said he had people lined up in front of his dealership (shades of 1928), sadly bad business practices resulted in bankruptcy. These Model A's are generally known as Golden A's or Ford/Shays. I have researched considerable history on these historic autos. Drive mine constantly. Any interested owners please E-mail me.
