1928 Ford Model A Roadster Pickup
First built in the 50's, then the last builder found the body in a scrap yard in the late 60's and proceded to build the car you see here in the early 70's. All original Henry Ford steel with the body channelled over a custom frame that is c-notched 6" in the rear. Original 1932 grille and shell that has been sectioned, filled, and peaked.
Car runs a SBF based 331 stroker with Holley tri-power, Joe Hunt coil on distributor, early Cal Custom valve covers, power is transferred through a Ford C4 transmission to a Ford 8" rear end.
Traditional front end with dropped axle, transverse springs and lever shocks. The original builders friend worked at a chrome shop, so all suspension and axles are nickel plated chrome.
Below is a link to an article and video when the car won the Lokar Driven Award at the Detroit Autorama in 2018. The only difference is the car now runs a Holley tri-power.

After Autorama and subsequent media coverage, the original builder, after losing contact with the car, contacted me, we had a long talk and it was as if he was standing next to the car, according to him, the only parts bought new at the time were the headlight stantions, everything else is custom.
Feel free to contact me with any questions.
