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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Built to a high standard, this Model A Tourer is more than just a pretty face.
Its combination of robust engineering, standout aesthetics, and known provenance makes it a desirable addition to any classic car or hot rod collection. Whether you’re taking it to car shows or enjoying a weekend cruise, this hot rod promises to deliver in style and easy performance.
For those seeking a unique piece of automotive history with modern enhancements, this 1928 Ford Model A Tourer Hot Rod stands as a shining example.
