The Ron Sturgeon Collection has recently welcomed a remarkable piece of automotive history, a 1929 Ford Model A Speedster Boattail, showcasing the blend of artful styling and mechanical ingenuity characteristic of the golden age of motoring. This custom speedster, with its boattail rear and red 21″ wire-spoke wheels, not only captures the essence of open-road adventure but also stands as a testament to the creativity and craftsmanship of early American automotive design.
Under the hood, the car is powered by a 201ci inline-four engine, enhanced with a Stromberg 94 carburetor and Ansen intake manifold, paired with a three-speed manual transmission. These upgrades, along with mechanical drum brakes, ensure that the vehicle delivers performance true to its era. The exterior, finished in a classic white and green paint scheme, is complemented by custom features such as a running board-mounted spotlight and twin white storage compartments, adding to its unique charm.
Inside, the speedster offers a glimpse into the past with its four-spoke steering wheel, alligator-style upholstered dash, and vintage-racer cockpit complete with lap belts and a passenger-side grab handle. Ron Sturgeon, founder of the DFW Car & Toy Museum, remarked on the car’s ability to evoke joy and admiration, highlighting its significance as a piece that bridges nostalgia with custom artistry.
This acquisition not only enriches the Ron Sturgeon Collection but also serves as a rolling tribute to the innovation and spirit of early American motoring. The 1929 Ford Model A Speedster Boattail is a vivid reminder of the era when automobiles were as much about personality and style as they were about performance and functionality.
