Stolen Ford Model A Recovered

By Graham Kozak

Police have located this 1930 Ford Model A, which was reported stolen June 26. Courtesy of the Dearborn Police Department.




We're happy to report that the 1930 Ford Model A roadster stolen two weeks ago has been located.


According to the Detroit Free Press, the car—which disappeared from the Henry Ford museum parking lot along with its travel trailer and Ford F-250 tow vehicle on June 26—was found in a Detroit industrial area earlier this week.


The Model A's California owner can breathe a bit easier knowing that his classic survived the heist unscathed. Unfortunately, his F-250 is still missing. The pickup is white on top and gold on the bottom, with a NASCAR sticker in the rear window and a NASCAR license-plate holder. The California plate number is 6P95641.


If you have any information on the F-250, call the Help Eliminate Auto Theft tip line at (800) 242-4328 or visit www.miheat.org.

I hope they find the slimeballs that stole his truck!  People like that need to be hung.   He in the desert if someone steals your truck you would die of thirst before going to far.   Just like in old times when people stole horses.  This would stop some I am sure.  Hope everyone is having a great day!

Anthony Garcia- It's "you're" not "your". And why do people like you have to make even the simplest story into a political issue? You're an idiot!!

I'm glad the Model A was found intact.  It's one of those rare Model A's that has been restored to its original condition...too many of them have been turned into hot rods.  At least his insurance should take care of the truck.  A restored Model A is irreplaceable.

A real rocket scientist this thief is. Leave the appreciating asset and take the depreciating asset. That's like leaving the gold and taking the aluminum.

Thats a better out come than I expected. The truck and trailer are easy to replace but a classic car is another issue.

The pickup can be replaced at the local Ford dealer.  Lucky to get the irreplaceable back.
