This unique Ford ’28 draws lots of attention. When is the last time you saw a Sport Coupe that looks like this one, is reliable and fun to drive. This Rod has only been shown at the 2010 “Jalopyrama #7” Invitational show at the Annapolis Maryland National Guard Armory and at the 2010 and 2011 NRSA shows in York, PA. There are photos and a quote in Streetscene Magazine, August 2010 on page 108 where they write “We keep seeing sweet rides with tons of hard work (not dollars) like Karl’s ’28 Ford Sport coupe…” and an additional photo in May 2011 on page 54.
