1928 Ford Model A Roadster Pickup

VIN: A196964

We're selling this super-cool '28 Model A on behalf of a local client. The car reportedly spent the overwhelming majority of its life in Northridge, CA and was in storage there between 1958 and 2015 before being modified/restored and eventually relocated to the Midwest in late 2018. As it sits now this is a sweet, bare-bones roadster pickup that can be used and enjoyed straightaway. Please take a look through the photos, as they show the car in detail. This car was actually part of a desert photoshoot for Hop Up Magazine a few years ago and appeared on the cover in a group shot – a copy of this magazine will come with the car.
