1928 Ford Model A Roadster

Description

The Ford Model A succeeded the legendary Model T in late 1927, arriving with a more powerful engine, a conventional three-pedal layout, and styling that drew from Ford's Lincoln division rather than the utilitarian origins of its predecessor.

The Roadster body style was the most open and sporting configuration available in the Model A lineup — a two-seat open car with a fold-flat windshield, a removable soft top, and a fold-out rumble seat that extended seating to four. Dual side-mounted spare tires were a period accessory that reinforced the Model A's touring character and remain one of the most visually distinctive details on an early Ford.

This 1928 Model A Roadster is finished in green over black fenders with pale yellow wire wheels and a black convertible top as well as a leather trunk fitted at the rear. The interior has been reupholstered in brown vinyl, including the rumble bench seat.

The engine was reportedly overhauled approximately 2,500 miles ago and is said to have a period-style high-compression head.

This 1928 Ford Model A Roadster is offered with a rear-mounted leather trunk, removable side curtains ,service records, multiple keys, and a clean Indiana title in the seller’s name.
