Vehicle Description
1928 Ford Roadster
With a world full of street rods it is pretty neat when you see a
vintage Ford done more in the original style. These types of cars
have become the minority but it is a shame because the beauty and
class of that original look is something a lot of classics will
just never attain. That being said, despite having the look this
classic still features subtle customizations like the chopped laid
back windshield that really put it a step above the rest. The body
is all steel and painted in a very nice combination of Dark Green
with Black fenders. The Green is then accented even further by the
painted steel wheels. The metal is all true Ford sheet metal with
zero patch panels. The Beige top is in great condition and is
removable allowing you to to go from coupe to roadster in the
matter of minutes. The lights all have the vintage look with
stainless steel tail light brackets. That along with the headlight
bar, 32 Ford bumpers and exterior mounted horn really give that
nostalgic feel. In back the bed is very nicely done in a combo of
wood and Green with short wood side rails on each side. The gas
door is located on the left rear oak strip. The oak is all new and
the stainless steel strips are flush mounted in the bed.
Powering the truck is a 4 cylinder motor that runs well and was
finished out very nicely. It is one of the highlights of the truck
because it was constructed using all of the best components. It was
originally out of a 32 and has had a complete overhaul. It features
the dual Stromberg 81 carbs that are new, Zepher intake manifold
and a finned aluminum Miller head cover. Everything has a nice
finished out look. During the rebuild the starter was rebuilt to 12
volt, the FSI electronic distributor and coil were added, the head
was milled, all new rockers/shafts were installed, and it got a new
cam. It is paired with a Tremec 4 speed manual transmission which
moves through the gears smoothly and sends power back to the 9 inch
Ford rear end with 3.54 gears. Disc brakes were added up front and
it still has drums in rear. Late 30's Ford spindles have been added
along with a Vega steering box. Other additions worth mentioning
include a lightweight flywheel, electric fuel pump, new fuel filter
and SS gas tank.
Despite having that original exterior feel the interior was redone
with a little more comfort than you would find back in 28. The
bench seat is nicely covered with Beige leather as are the door
panels. The upholstery work is in good shape and it is clear it has
been nicely cared for since completed. A separate upholstered panel
was added under the dash to hide the wires and electrical
components. In front of the driver sits a Banjo steering wheel
which is painted Green to match the dash and body. Stewart Warner
white faced gauges were added and all work properly. This is a fun
roadster that was really well done. Park it next to a line of
fiberglass street rods and we guarantee it will be the one getting
all the attention.
