The 1928 model year marked the transition from Ford’s groundbreaking Model T to its “modern” automobile, the Model A. Though similar (but not identical) in style, the Model A was a significantly more complicated automobile, using an average of 6,800 different parts compared the 5,000 found in the T. By today’s standards, neither is an ideal daily (or even weekend) driver, but if one needs to choose between the two, the Model A is the way to go. Perhaps that’s the appeal of this 1928 Ford Model A Roadster Pickup, for sale on Hemmings.com. Because the truck has Mitchell Synchromesh gears, its next owner wouldn’t wear himself out double-clutching during weekend errands, and the Ford certainly would make a distinctive (if not particularly fast) fair-weather driver. The current owner advises that the truck’s rebuilt 40-horsepower L-head four-cylinder engine is the same one it left the factory with, perhaps adding to its appeal among collectors. From the seller’s description:
