Vehicle Description
A 1928 Ford Model A rumble seat coupe always has appeal. So when
you can find an example done by an experienced restorer, then you
have an accurate car that also loves to run.
This coupe is quite striking and correct. That's because the
consignor and his grandfather enjoyed restoring these pre-war
Fords. So you're looking at one that came from a knowledgeable
source who built it out of a labor of love. That's why this is a
detail-oriented build. It starts with the way the two-tone is
intertwined. It has an impressive look as the glossy black of the
fenders also swoop up the lines of the body and highlight the style
line of the doors. There's even a cream-colored pinstripe to draw
added attention. And the black vinyl roof and windshield sunshade
seem to be the final pieces that sandwiches the green on this
five-window coupe. The bright grille, wire wheels, dual bumpers,
and rear-mounted spare are all part of this well-done build.
Open the door to a nicely detailed and very vintage package. For
example, the seats are done in a comfy but period correct mohair
cloth. The door panels are finished to match. They also have extras
like built-in pockets and the tops coordinate with the piping on
the seat. Everything feels accurate from the classic four-spoke
steering wheel to the bright instrument panel. No matter if you're
looking to use this coupe in a parade route or impress some
friends, the rumble seat is a functional piece that always get
people talking. Access to it is easy with proper foot pegs on the
rear, and it's finished in a durable leather for easy outdoor
use.
The classic 201 cubic-inch engine is the backbone of the Ford Motor
Company, and while they are a hardy powerhouse, it also helps to
have someone knowledgeable restoring it. That's how you get
worthwhile upgrades like the alternator. The engine fires up
readily like it's eager to hit the road. When a Model A is a runner
like this, you feel instantly connected with history with every
chug of the exhaust. The torquey engine is great for parade routes
and can keep up with traffic around town. The three-speed manual
transmission shifts cleanly with its classic action. So over 90
years later, and this Ford is still a fun runabout.
This is a clean and correct Model A with the right extras you want
on a true motoring classic. Rarely do you get to take home the
results of a passion project, so don't miss out. Call today!!!
