1928

Ford Model A Special Coupe

Gilbert, AZ

Description

1928 marked the debut of the Ford Model A, a long-awaited evolution after the decline of Model T sales. Fully redesigned from the ground up, it introduced a traditional three-speed transmission and a conventional pedal layout—features that helped set the standard for American automobiles for years to come. This car has quite a story. It was originally won in a raffle in California by its previous owner. After driving it to New Mexico, he decided to take it apart—and eventually ended up scrapping the pieces. Years later, when Shane’s grandpa and his son brought the remains home, Shane’s grandmother was less than thrilled. They had paid $225 for what was essentially a massive pile of parts and pieces—but it was the start of something special.
