A Cool Family Cruiser. For enthusiasts of Hot Rods or Open Top Classic Cars that can fit the family & friends, this 1928 Ford Model A Tourer is a great example of craftsmanship, style, and performance. Built to be driven and maintained with care, this family cruiser blends vintage charm with performance and safety, creating a Hot Rod that’s easy to drive & turns heads wherever it goes.
Exterior Cool: The unmistakable Bright Orange paintwork is the first thing to catch your eye, a finish that gleams with depth. Complementing this striking color is its stance and detailed chassis, that highlights the meticulous construction of this hot rod. The Solid Deuce Customs body provides a robust foundation, while the Carson-style hardtop roof, which is removable, offers versatility for open-air cruising or sheltered drives.
Rumbling Heart: At the core of this hot rod lies a 302 Windsor V8 engine, equipped with a Holley 500 carburettor and a Sig Erson cam, delivering a smooth yet powerful performance. The engine pairs with a C4 automatic transmission with a cooler, operated via a B&M Quicksilver shifter. A re-cored radiator and large electric fan keep things cool in modern traffic. The powertrain sends torque to the rear wheels through a chromed Ford 9-inch differential, with large extractors and twin exhausts giving the V8 soundtrack we all love.
Rolling Style: This Model A rolls on Dragway wheels fitted with stylish spinners, enhancing its vintage hot rod aesthetic. The ride is supported by a 4-link suspension setup all around, with coil-over adjustable shock absorbers at the rear, offering both comfort and precision handling. Braking is managed by front disc brakes with a booster and rear drum brakes, providing reliable stopping power.
Interior Elegance: Step inside, and you’re greeted by a tastefully upholstered interior in cream leather, complete with full carpeting for a plush and luxurious feel. The classic dashboard features a set of vintage-inspired gauges, blending old-school charm with functionality.
Provenance and Registration: This 1928 Ford Model A Hot Rod boasts a well-documented history, having been fully registered in South Australia and Victoria during its lifetime. Currently, it carries full registration in Victoria but will be sold unregistered as per Auction rules.
