Description

1980 Shay Model A - Factory-Authorized Tribute with Under 12,000 Miles

Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to digitally present this 1980 Shay Model A Roadster, an officially licensed Ford reproduction built to celebrate one of the most beloved cars in American history - the 1929 Model A.

In the late 1970s, Shay Motor Car Company of Battle Creek, Michigan was granted permission by Ford Motor Company to recreate the iconic Model A using modern manufacturing methods and reliable Ford drivetrains. The result was a limited run of factory-authorized replicas that blended 1930s style with late-20th century drivability - a unique combination that quickly made them collector favorites.

This example, showing under 12,000 miles, has been exceptionally well preserved and showcases the timeless lines of the original Ford design - sweeping fenders, wire wheels, whitewall tires, dual side-mounted spares, and that unmistakable upright grille. Finished in classic two-tone tan and black, it captures the elegance of pre-war motoring with the practicality of modern components.

Powering this vintage-styled roadster is a 2.3-liter Ford inline-four engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, offering smooth, dependable performance. Hydraulic brakes, 12-volt electrics, and a modern chassis provide a safer and more comfortable ride than the originals - making it a pleasure to drive and easy to maintain.

The Shay Model A represents a rare opportunity to experience the charm of early motoring without the compromises of a true antique. Whether displayed, driven in parades, or enjoyed on sunny weekend cruises, this roadster embodies an era of optimism, craftsmanship, and classic American spirit.

This 1980 Shay Model A can be seen in detail - including 100+ HD pictures and video - at GatewayClassicCars.com. This vehicle can be seen at the St. Louis Showroom located at 1237 Central Park Drive, O'Fallon IL 62269.
