1938 Ford Model 81A Club Coupe
The 1938 Model 81A Ford came in several forms. In this era, often convertible models were less costly and further down the model line than closed examples. These positions have shifted within the collector market as certain key “niches” develop. The Ford Club Coupes enjoy just such a niche. Though not at the top of the model line when produced, they are indeed at the top of the desirability scale for 1938 Ford models in today’s collector market. Their sleek, classic styling has inspired enthusiasts, from purists to hotrodders, for decades. This beautiful 1938 Ford Model 81A was treated to a high-quality restoration in 2006 and shows very well. The car starts on a button and is a joy to drive, providing more drivability than might be expected from an 84-year-old classic.
