Showing approximately 6,508 miles, this Brookville all-steel-bodied roadster was displayed at the prestigious 2015 Grand National Roadster Show (GNRS), a testament to the quality of its construction.

Exterior and Interior
The exterior of this 1930 Ford Model A Hi-Boy Roadster Hot Rod embraces the minimalist styling that has made Hi-Boys legendary for decades. Its Brookville all-steel body is finished in deep black and complemented by a removable black convertible soft top for open-air cruising when the weather permits. Gray steel wheels measuring 15 inches up front and 16 inches in the rear, exposed front suspension with a dropped axle and hairpin radius rods, and the signature upright grille give this roadster the unmistakable appearance of a traditionally built American hot rod. The interior of this 1930 Ford Model A Hi-Boy Roadster Hot Rod is purpose-built while remaining comfortable for long drives. The reupholstered black cabin features a clean dashboard fitted with an aftermarket gauge cluster, a floor-mounted shifter, and a classic four-spoke steering wheel. A Sears heater box provides added comfort on cooler days, while the uncluttered layout stays true to the simplicity and functionality that define traditional roadsters.
Engine
Powering this roadster is a highly desirable 239ci Mercury Flathead V8 equipped with dual Stromberg carburetors, an ISKY camshaft, Edelbrock aluminum cylinder heads, and custom headers. This legendary combination delivers the unmistakable sound and character that made the Flathead V8 the foundation of early American hot rodding. Power is routed through a Mercury 3-speed manual transmission paired with a Mitchell overdrive unit, allowing for more relaxed highway cruising, while a Halibrand quick-change rear end lets enthusiasts tailor gearing to suit their driving style. Completing the traditional mechanical package are a Franklin steering box and 1948 Ford drum brakes, preserving the authentic driving experience that makes this Hi-Boy so special.
