Description:
1928 Ford Model A Pickup Roadster In 1927, feeling the heat from his competition and after a long runwith the Model T, Henry Ford reluctantly retooled his assemblyline, changed some of his manufacturing processes, and the Model Awas born. Eventually it would become wildly popular, outselling theModel T, and offered in 9 different body styles.Gracing our Hallowed Halls and offered to you for consignment, a1928 Ford Model A Roadster Pickup. In the case of this car though,mostly original intent as well as actual visual parts to thisbuild, have been retained. The beneficiary of a recent 3 year longrestoration and built to be driven, this truck presents verynicely. It shows as near factory new, and for an 95-year-old truck,its in very good condition.ExteriorA very vibrant Washington Blue covers the metal panels of thisroadster pickup. A few light scuffs and scratches are noted in thefinish, but there certainly isnt any rust to be found. Curvingfenders and textured rubber covered running boards are also paintedblue and show well. A radiant red is painted on delicate lookingwire wheels with their now black cast-iron drum brakes in thecenters. These are surrounded with like new thin blackwall tires,and on the passenger side is nestled in the back portion of thefront fender just before the running boards is a spare tire wrappedin a tan canvas covering. Out back, a blue steel bed with outwardcanted tops has a floor finished in nicely stained oak wood andblack stripsall looking to have never hauled a single load. Twinchrome trimmed period correct tail lights, a FORD script embossedtailgate, and split dual bar chrome bumpers round out the tail endof this antique hauler. The front of the car has vented metal sidepanels that fold upward to reveal the engine compartment. A perfectgrille, topped with a chromed Ford motometer, is flanked by 2oversized headlamps, an original chromed front bumper, and anahooga style horn. The passenger compartment is covered with anearly new ivory canvas top, finishing out our exterior tournicely.InteriorOlive brown colored vinyl covers a bench seat and shows in verynice condition with deeptuck and roll inserts. Highly lacqueredhardwood is making up the floors and up front the metal dash, alsoin Washington Blue color, has a centrally located "mask" stylechromed instrument cluster, which shows original gauges. A periodstyle extra large steering wheel, tall shift lever, as well as ahandbrake can be seen in the compartment. Very nice, very correct,and all restoration fresh in here.DrivetrainUnder the cowled hood is a 201ci 4-cylinder engine that ticks andruns like a switch watch. Not in perfect condition, with somesurface rust and olive green paint on the engine is a bit chipped.A 1-barrel carburetor feeds the precise mixture of air and fuel andon the back is a selective sliding gear 3-speed manualtransmission. A 3.70 geared rear axle moves you down the roadeffortlessly. Also in lieu of the generator, an alternator has beeninstalled and all hoses, wiring, and spark plugs appear as new.UndercarriageRetaining its rust free condition from the restoration we seenothing but black painted steel, solid body hangers and cast irondrum brakes now on, and Washington Blue solid stamped steel floorpans. Transverse leaf springs are on all the front and rear andmechanical drum brakes are seen here as well. A single exhaustsystem is on to handle the exhale.Drive-AbilityThe highlight of this car despite its good looks and goodcondition, is definitely the drive-ability. A made for touring instyle of the roaring 20s, this car accelerates nicely, andactually runs along at speed, (45-50mph?), easily. Shifting issmooth, and all seems tight and squeak free. All functions areworking as they should.
