Description for Ford Model A 1928

Wow. This Is One Sweet Little Hot Rod !!!! All Henry Ford Steel 1928 Model A Tudor Sedan Street Rod ____ The Right Look !!! The Right Stance !!! The Right Stuff !!! ______ I have been at this Street Rod game for a looooong time. I had Hot Rods in the 1960’s when I was in High School and had one of the TWO Rods in the school parking lot. I felt a little out of step. Then I attended the first NSRA Street Rod Nationals in Peoria Illinois and found out there was a lot of other guys just like me. It has been full steam ahead ever since. I first met this particular little Model “A” in a Farmer’s yard in 1971. She was a cherry old Gennie car. I tried to buy her but when the old boy saw the ’34 Plymouth Coupe Hot Rod I had driven into his yard. he refused to sell her to me. He knew what I had in mind. I longingly drove past this car weekly for a year or so wishing I hadn’t blown my first chance. Finally one day the car disappeared. I had no idea where she went. I finished college and went on to be a teacher. In the early ‘80’s I quit teaching and opened a small Rod Shop. One day a fellow named Dean brought in a ’28 Model “A” that he was building. The car needed body and paint which he could not do. He hired me and I finished the car. (Little did I know but this was the same car I had tried to buy a dozen years earlier. ) Dean and I became friends and attended many car shows and Rod Runs together. Him in his “A” and me in whatever I had at the time. Dean rebuilt the car a couple of times over the years and like all of us he got involved with a couple of other projects. Even though he was involved with other things he always kept the “A”. Last year he started a ’29 Roadster Rat Rod and decided to sell his ’28 Sedan. I heard about it and decided to call him up as I had never fulfilled my dream of having an “A” Tudor Street Rod. I went to his house. made the deal and put my money on his table. About the time we were signing the Title I told him about the little Model “A” that got away from me some 43 years ago. He got a strange look on his face and asked me exactly where that car was sitting at the time. When I described the farm place Dean got a wry grin on his face. He then told me that he was the guy that had bought the car and that this was it. I had been watching him enjoy my Model “A” Dream Car for all these years and had even helped build it. This is an absolutely true story. I have been playing with this car all Summer. I’ve changed a couple of things and spent some time and money on her. The car and I have done a lot of car shows. Cruise Nights. swap meets. driving for dinner or ice cream and even just daily drive to work transportation together all summer long. She is a GREAT car. The car now has a little over 6. 00 miles on the current build. She does everything right but I am a fickle lover. As a car-a-holic I want to own every car I think is cool for at least a little while. I’ve decided to sell this car and move on to something else. This Car Is A No Nonsense Street Rod.
