'It's just really devastating': Rare classic car stolen from Orangevale body shop

A 1928 Ford Model A was stolen from an auto body shop in Orangevale, and now the car owner is asking for the public's help to find his rare classic car. Brian Fimbres said he had left his car at California Transmissions of Orangevale for storage until he could bring it back to his home, but Fimbres said thieves stole his car over Memorial Day weekend. Surveillance video shared with KCRA 3 shows two people walking with flashlights early Monday morning in the back lot of the shop, and the lights can be seen shining on the Model A which was parked in the corner. "It's just really a shock to the whole family," Fimbres said. "It's a pretty rare car. Me and my kids have been working on getting it running and hopefully someday be able to drive around, cruise around in it, go to the drive-ins."
