1928 Ford Model A Roadster Pickup
Gracing our Hallowed Halls and offered to you for consignment, a 1928 Ford Model A roadster pickup. In the case of this car though, mostly original intent as well as actual visual parts to this build, have been retained. The beneficiary of a recent multi-year long restoration and built to be better than the rest, this truck presents very nicely. It shows as near factory new, and for an 96 year old truck, it\'s in very good condition having won an AACA Senior 1st award along with an 2019 AACA Senior Grand National 1st win and MARC (Model A Restorer\'s Club) showings that have always garnished top awards. Showing 941 non-actual miles on the odometer, we make the assumption these are miles since restored.
Exterior
A very vibrant Moss Green covers the metal panels of this roadster pickup. A few light imperfections are seen in the finish, but there certainly isn\'t any rust to be found. Curving fenders and textured rubber covered running boards are also painted perfectly contrasting black. A glossy black is painted on delicate looking 21-inch wire wheels with their now black cast iron mechanical drum brakes in the centers. These are surrounded with like new thin blackwall tires, and on both the driver\'s and passenger side is nestled in the back portion of the front fender just before the running boards is a spare wheel and tire. Out back, a green steel bed with outward canted tops has a floor finished in nicely painted oak wood and painted stripsall looking to have never hauled a single load. Twin chrome trimmed period correct tail lights, a FORD script embossed tailgate, and a pair of AACA badges round out the tail end of this antique hauler. The front of the car has vented metal side panels that fold upward to reveal the engine compartment. A perfect grille, topped with a chromed Ford badged Boyce motometer, is flanked by 2 oversized headlamps, a chromed front bumper, and an ahooga style horn. The passenger compartment is covered with a nearly new black canvas top, finishing out our exterior tour nicely.
Interior
Black colored vinyl covers a bench seat and shows in very nice condition with a central seam and light textured graining. More textured black rubber covers the floors and up front the metal dash, also in a Moss Green color, has a centrally located \"mask\" style chromed instrument cluster, which shows original gauges. A period style extra large steering wheel, tall shift lever, as well as a handbrake can be seen in the compartment. Very nice, very correct, and all restoration fresh in here.
Drivetrain
Under the cowled hood is a 201ci 4 cylinder engine that ticks and runs like a switch watch. Not in perfect condition, with some surface rust and olive green paint on the engine is a bit chipped. A 1-barrel carburetor feeds the precise mixture of air and fuel and on the back is a selective sliding gear 3-speed manual transmission. A 3.70 geared rear axle moves you down the road effortlessly. The factory generator is in it\'s correct home, and all hoses, wiring, and spark plugs appear as new.
Undercarriage
Retaining its rust free condition from the restoration we see nothing but black painted steel, solid body hangers and cast iron drum brakes now on, and Moss Green solid stamped steel floor pans. Transverse leaf springs are on all the front and rear and mechanical drum brakes are seen here as well. A single exhaust system is on to handle the exhale.
Drive-Ability
The highlight of this car despite its good looks and good condition, is definitely the drive-ability. A made for touring in style of the roaring 20\'s, this car accelerates nicely, and actually runs along at speed, (45-50mph?), easily. Shifting is smooth, and all seems tight and squeak free. All functions are working as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
