This 1929 Ford Model A speedster is best known for its participation in the 1989 and 1990 running of the Great American Race, a 2,500 mile cross country race from Disney World to Disneyland which has given this car is provenance.  The car features a 201ci flathead inline-four paired with a three-speed manual transmission. Features include wire wheels, mechanical brakes, electric fuel pump, alternator, and an exhaust header and a boat-tail rear end.  The car still carries its sponsor logos and decals from the two races.  The wire wheels are painted and wear Firestone bias-ply tires, including a side-mounted spare. The car is equipped with mechanically-actuated drum brakes at all four corners.  The cockpit features a left-side cutaway as well as a bench seat and matching edge padding. The instrument panel contains an ammeter and a coolant temperature gauge along with controls for the headlamps, fuel pump, and overdrive.  The 201ci flathead has been fitted with oversized valves and a larger camshaft as well as an exhaust header. The electrical system has been converted to 12 volts and an alternator has been installed.
