Dearborn Police recovered this 1930 Ford Model A convertible that was stolen from the Henry Ford Museum parking lot on June 26.

Dearborn Police today announced that surveillance officers (July 11) recovered the 1930 Ford Model-A and trailer that was stolen  June 26 from the grounds of The Henry Ford Museum.

After several weeks of developing leads from concerned citizens and subsequent surveillance, the trailer containing the classic Ford roadster was found in an industrial area in Detroit near Mt. Elliot and Gratiot. The car and trailer were valued at more than $30,000

“It was a pleasure for us to be able to call the car’s owner in California to let him know that his classic piece of Ford history was recovered by our Special Operations crew,” said Dearborn Police Chief Ronald Haddad in a statement. “Needless to say, he was elated. The hard work that our surveillance officers as well as our detectives put into this case cannot be overstated.”

Haddad also wished to thank the local and national media and H.E.A.T (Help Eliminate Auto Thefts) for their help with this case. The Dearborn PD is still looking for the stolen 2001 F-250 truck with a California license plate that was used to tow the Model A.
