1931 Ford Model A Tudor

The Tudor was one of the hottest of all Model A body styles. Ford build more than 1.25 million of them over the A’s four-year production run, so they’re pretty easy to find these days.
For ’31 Ford also offered a Deluxe Tudor which added a host of niceties. At a glance, you could tell a Standard from the Deluxe by its cowl-mounted lights. The lights of course can be added on, but the Deluxes also had the later firewall with the tear-drop shaped indentation around the external fuel shutoff. These cars are a little more scarce, but Ford still built more than 20,000 Deluxe Tudors.
This 1931 Model A for sale on Hemmings.com is a Standard Tudor as evidenced by the lack of those cowl lights, the presence of its flat firewall and it’s missing the Deluxe’s rear-seat passenger armrests, an overhead interior light as well as carpets.
There are some questions to be asked about this car, however, such as why it appears to have a 1930 grille shell and if the reason it hasn’t been started in a few years has anything to do with that wiring at the base of the steering column (kudos to the seller for posting that picture).
But for less than $5,000 — a price that is negotiable according to the ad — you can hardly expect a concours-ready Model A. This seems on the surface to be a very good deal and definitely worth a ride out to Great Neck for a closer inspection. From the seller’s description:
1931 Ford Model A Tudor, This Model A has been owned by same family for forty years, originally located in western PA. Body is in good condition. Car has not been started in a few years. A bit of work will get this car into running condition. Price is negotiable.

West German T-birds: 1960's

Brochure images are from the collection of Hemmings Motor News; photograph courtesy Audi Tradition
In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Sweden’s Saabs weren’t the only front wheel-drive, two-stroke, three-cylinder cars that were killing giants in international rallying; West Germany’s DKWs were well established and highly regarded competitors. The three-cylinder engine powering the Auto Union 1000 -an upscale version of the former DKW 3=6– would do double-duty in the Ingolstadt-built 1958-1965 Auto Union 1000 Sp Sports Coupe and 1961-’65 1000 Sp Roadster.
These low-slung, deceptively small cars featured bodies built by Karrosserie Baur in Stuttgart, and those bodies were rather obviously inspired by that of the 1955-1957 Ford Thunderbird. They shared a 980-cc (59.8-cu.in.) DKW inline-three that used 8.0-compression and a Solex downdraft carburetor and made 60 hp at 4,500 RPM, a notable bump over the 7.25-compression and 50 hp of standard 1000s. The only available gearbox was a column-shift four-speed manual, and performance improved from the 1000’s 75-84 MPH to a circa-90 MPH top speed. The 2+2 interior was stylishly designed, befitting this car’s price and its grand touring aspirations.
The last Auto Union 1000 Sp Roadster rolled off the assembly line 50 years ago. Only 1640 units were built.
Audi Tradition has both an Sp Sport Coupe and Sp Roadster in its collection, and both cars are routinely campaigned in vintage events.
Auto Union built an estimated 6,400 of the 1000 Sp Sport Coupes and exactly 1,640 of the Roadsters, and very few made it to American shores, where they were distributed by Mercedes-Benz Sales Inc., the Studebaker-Packard subsidiary.
These Audi predecessors were marketed with attractive literature; the two-sided flier is dated 1960, while the four-page variant is undated, but includes an image of the Roadster, making it newer. Click the images below to enlarge.
