Phaetons

1928 Phaeton - Alan DalMaso and Dad, Lidio DalMaso of Redwood City, CA. Here's the newest photo of my 1928 Phaeton. It's become a father and son project because my Dad is so handy. He learned how to drive in a Model "A" and we have a great time driving around together. He and the car are actually the same age!! I've dressed it up a little with a few accessories and it keeps us busy on weekends touring around the neighborhood. It's fun to see all the "thumbs up" and smiles from passers by. Maintaining these old autos is really a labor of love.

1928 Roadster owned by Phil Niemeyer of Rochester, Minnesota, who writes, "I acquired the roadster March 2005. It had been left to neglect by its third owner for the past seven years in a musty garage and had grown very grungy. I approached the owner and he indicated the car had been a disappointment to him, as he found it would not go 60 MPH! At this point in life, I don't want the heavy restoration stuff, and I have had great fun bringing the roadster back to life. I have enjoyed the hobby for 50 years and have owned quite a number of cars over the period of time. Funny how I migrated back to the first car I owned; a Model A Ford!"

Installed new shocks and front spring and lots of other improvements. It is a driver. We travel all the back roads in eastern Ohio, gravel and paved. We trailered to Newport, Indiana last October and competed in their annual hill climb. The next project is getting an overdrive unit installed."

1928 Roadster Pickup - owned by Joe Setka of Culver City, CA. The photo was submitted by Steve Newton, who writes, "Joe is Vice President of SCREENLAND A's. The pick-up was built as a father/son project in 1980. At that time it was a closed cab. In 1990, Joe switched cabs. The car now sports a down-draft carb & manifold and a B/W overdrive. This picture was taken at one of Culver City's oldest parks, behind the old M.G.M. Movie Studios. The park in the early 1900s, was the sight of the old banked wooden board race track where famous racers like Barney Oldfield raced. "

1928 Sport Coupe - owned by Charlie Goddard of Fairfax IA, who writes, "We just finished the car after two years of work, so it's only been to Dairy Queen a couple times. We live on a gravel road, and the little car just seems to be born for them. I was really surprised how well it rides! I'm the second owner as my Great Uncle bought it new. All those years of wishing as it sat in his barn have finally come true. I love it!"

1928 Tudor Sedans

1928 Tudor Sedan owned by Dan and Terri Ulberg of Decatur Texas, who write: "This was one of three car bodies along with the rest of the parts to make them complete that I purchased in 1964 from a widow whose husband had taken them all apart to restore them. My dad gave me a 29 Sports Coupe and helped me make it road worthy so that when I turned 16, I would have a car to drive. So when I got the yard full of junk with three bodies, I told him to pick one and get all the parts to make it complete, paying him back for my coupe. He choose the 28 Tudor and he started a complete restoration. Before he completed the restoration, cancer got the best of him and took him.

I was in the military and didn't a permanent address, so my brother inherited the car. Thirty years ago, he finished the restoration and drove the car and took care of it until this past November when I purchased the car from him.

My wife Terri and I love to go for drives in the Tudor and do as often as we can. We have named her "Tooter". We are currently members of the Cow Town A's in Ft. Worth Texas and the Wise County Antique Auto Club in Decatur Texas.

1928 Tudor Sedan owned by Richard and Jeanne Parrish of Anaheim California, sent in by Glenn Johnson, who writes:
"Last year my friend Richard Parrish and I spent a few weeks rerestoring and detailing parts of his 28 Tudor before our trip to the Pikes Peak regional meet. When we finished, it looked so good, we stopped to take a few pictures of it in front of my 1929 mission revival style house.

Richard and his wife Jeanne are long time members of MAFCA and the Orange County Chapter. Back in the late 60s Richard and Jeanne appeared on the cover of The Restorer as Bonnie and Clyde.

1928 Tudor Sedan owned by George and Susan Fountain of Woodland Washington. "This is our 1928 tudor. It is a driver, not a show car. When I got this Model A it was a disaster. It was not restored - it was resurrected."

1928 Tudor Sedan - owned by John Fugina Sun Prairie, WI Attached is a photo of my 1928 Tudor Sedan. She was probably built in April or May at the Louisville Kentucky assembly plant.

She is dressed in Niagra Blue Dark/Light.

1928 Fordor Sedans

1928 Briggs Fordor Leatherback Sedan owned by Dean Zwicker of Norton, MA who writes: "Attached is a photo of my 1928 Fordor, July production. The car has many early features, such as the left side cowl vent. It is an older restoration and the prior owner painted the wheels the incorrect color, but the car does show up better with the color wheels rather than the original black wheels."

1928 Briggs Fordor Leatherback Sedan - owned by Rene Rondeau of Corte Madera, CA who writes "Since this was taken I have replaced the headlight lenses with the correct fluted style. I love the look of the 1928/1929 Fords. The tall wheels, deep curves and low radiator give them a wonderfully elegant antique look. Not to mention the little details, like the red steering wheel, drum tail light, mushroom shift knob..."

1928 Commercial Vehicles

1928 Deluxe Delivery - owned by Tom Philpott of Georgetown, TX, who writes, "It appears that this Delivery was a Pre-Production Model assembled in Chicago in late 1928 and was built on an AR frame (engine and frame number indicate it was a May 1928 engine.)

"Ford first announced that they would be introducing the Deluxe delivery in November of 1928 and awarded Budd Manufacturing the contract to build the deluxe delivery bodies. The Ford production records were destroyed several years ago in fire so exact production records are really not available. However, dealer invoices available show that the production lines didn't start delivering the Deluxe Delivery in any numbers until March of 1929. Budd Manufacturing did manage to make a limited number of Delivery body kits in November and December of 1928 and shipped a few to each of the Ford factories around the country. The Delivery shown was more or less hand assembled before the regular production line was set up at the Chicago Factory using what ever was available, i.e., the discontinued AR frame.

"The Delivery pictured just won a 1st Place award in the MARC /MAFCA fine point judging at the 2007 Texas Tour."

1928 Ford Pickup - owned by Larry Ingram of Yuba City, CA. I purchased the truck in 1971 for $100. Over the next 27 years I tinkered with it from time to time but due to military commitments, I was all over the world until my retirement in 1988. In 1997 I got real serious and completed the ground up restoration in the Fall of 1998. The truck is a great source of pride and enjoyment for my family. My wife and I, along with our Labrador Retriever Sam, ride in all of the areas parades. I try to drive it every weekend, weather permitting. I have shown the car in several of the areas shows and have finished first in most. I am an active member of the Butte View A's in the Marysville / Yuba City area of Northern California.

1928 Pickup - owned by Don & Lory Martell. I also have a 1930 2-dr sedan. I've had it for some time but just restored it 2 years ago. My next project was a 1931 AA Doodlebug. We have finished our 1929 Ford Huckster. My wife and I don't do many shows but we enjoy local parades and short trips with our old car friends. We also go to nursing homes and will give short rides to the people there. This has been a very rewarding thing.
