This 1928 Ford Model A Hasn't Run in Over 60 Years! | Roadworthy Rescues

At an inner-city Detroit car club, Derek finds a 1928 Ford Model A that hasn't run in over 60 years. He calls in the help of Model A expert Paul Shinn to dissect this derelict 94-year-old car to figure out why it sat for so long.

Love how it jumps from "we got compression" to "now we're driving on the street". First starts are not a thing MotorTrend cares about. 🤦‍♂

There is so much I feel is missing. MT has this idea that we all dont have enough of an attention span, that we can barley hang on for 15 minutes. If you know Derek's fan base, you'd know we watch all 2 hours of his episodes and love every minute of it. I want the history on this car. I want to see the first start and Derek's reaction. I just want more. What a waste....

Working on this Model A in Detroit with Derek was seriously the best week of my life. Thank you Derek and MotorTrend for the opportunity to make this episode of Roadworthy Rescues! Let's do it again!!!

I laughed so hard when Derek was shaking the car to clean the gas tank and the mechanic comes in the shop. The look on his face was priceless!!😅😂

Derek and Paul are great together! Old cars, even better! I want MUCH more content like this!!!!

My dad has a 24 model T and a 31 Model A. Simple to work on and simple to diagnose. Great cars.

Doesn't matter where you are in life, Derek will make anyone laugh at least once per episode!

Paul seems like a super nice guy donating his time to this pretty junky car and getting it to run. I've caught several of Paul's videos on these old cars and I love the simplicity and thoughtfulness of their design when working on cars was part of their initial design.
I love Paul's shirt that says "I am the warranty".

Love Derrick, he's a great fella

Jumping a starter solenoid with a screwdriver was the first thing I ever learned about cars, thanks to a buddy's car having ignition issues. It has served me well for decades. Thanks Derek!

It's great to see Derek and Paul together again!

Vice grip garage is always entertaining. I was stunned to see this channel host and I watched this video completely.

Awesome. I’ve got an 09 Buick …1909 which is crazy to drive. Throttle and advance in the wheel. Brake on the right first gear reverse are clutches and second gear is a lever.

Congratulations Derick,
From VGG to hosting Motor Trend. Good for You!

Very cool episode...Derek and Paul reviving a 1928 Ford Model A and then cruising around Detroit, MI in it...automotive only content doesn't get any better than that!

[marvincarter]

Excellent job of breaking the engine down and replacing defective parts and then the pleasure of driving this old girl. Paul Shinn has so much knowledge about these Model A's and Model T's he's a valuable man to have by your side.

[jamesreed]

I have watched this episode several times times . I am so glad y’all saved another ole ford A

[sammysurm]

So cool to see you in my hometown working on an old “Feerd.” Thanks for the years of great entertainment, and loads of knowledge I’ve gained watching you wrastle with all these old rigs.

[larrydavidson]

You get Paul and Derek and an old model A those two will make it run. Great job you two.

[rodneywells]

Made me cry that was an honor to watch. Thank you for this wonderful gift
