1951 Ford F-1 Pickup Truck. This truck is actually a Barn Find from Virginia. I was told that it sat in a farmer's barn for over 30 years. A couple of years ago the farmer took it out of the barn and it sat outside. I do not know how long it was outside. I got it home and changed the Spark Plugs, Points, and replaced the Fuel Pump and she ran. I replaced almost the entire Brake System including Master Cylinder, Wheel Cylinders, Lines and Hoses and now it stops! I also replaced the Wheels and Tires with period correct Baby Moons and Bias-Plys. The Truck is Red, but appears to have been Blue, from the factory. The Red Paint is old and faded and gives the truck a vintage shop-worn look. It looks so much like the old Sanford and Son truck that I painted Sanford and Son on the doors and entered it my local car show. The reaction was amazing! There were people lining up to get their picture taken beside this old truck. It amazes me how much attention this old truck gets! Since the show, I have been driving it around. It is a pretty good cruiser for short distances. I have not ventured more than about five miles from home. The Body is pretty solid, but there is some rust. I tried to show it all in the pictures. The Frame is solid. The Interior is Blue, but the seat is in good condition, so I didn't want to do anything about the color. Most of the Glass is good, but the Passenger Side Window is cracked. I will try to answer any questions through email. If you would like to come see the truck, drop me a line and we can schedule. I am listing this with no reserve and will sell it to the highest bidder. I may be able to assist with delivery, for a charge, within a couple of hundred miles of Akron, Ohio.

Ford partnering with MIT, Stanford on autonomous vehicle research
Fri, 24 Jan 2014Ask any car engineer what's the biggest variable in achieving fuel economy targets, and he'll tell you "the driver." If one human can't understand human driving behavior enough to be certain about an innocuous number like miles per gallon, how is an autonomous car supposed to figure out what hundreds of other drivers are going to do in the course of a day? Ford has enlisted the help of Stanford and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to find out.
Starting with the automated Fusion Hybrid introduced in December, MIT will be developing algorithms that driverless cars can use to "predict actions of other vehicles and pedestrians" and objects within the three-dimensional map provided by its four LIDAR sensors.
The Stanford team will research how to extend the 'vision' of that LIDAR array beyond obstructions while driving, analogous to the way a driver uses the entire width of a lane to see what's ahead of a larger vehicle in front. Ford says it wants to "provide the vehicle with common sense" as part of its Blueprint for Mobility, preparing for an autonomous world from 2025 and beyond.
Thieves still love older Hondas and pickups most, says NICB [w/video]
Wed, 20 Aug 2014No one wants to have their car stolen, but a new study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau has some bad news for older Honda owners and pickup drivers. Fortunately, it has better news for drivers overall. The group is reporting that according to preliminary data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, thefts were down 3.2 percent in 2013 (versus 2012) to fewer than 700,000 cars. That's the lowest figure since 1967. That's also less than half of the peak of over 1.66 million thefts in 1991. "The drop in thefts is good news for all of us," says NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle. "But it still amounts to a vehicle being stolen every 45 seconds and losses of over $4 billion a year."
Honda drivers might not find it such good news with older Accord and Civic models topping this year's theft study. Toyota and Dodge can't really celebrate, either, with two models each on the list, as well. Overall, this year's list was split evenly between foreign and domestic models, which were mostly pickups.
The 10 most likely vehicles to be stolen in 2013 were:
Hurricane Sandy cost automakers 15,000 vehicles, may have ruined up to 200k
Wed, 07 Nov 2012Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic storm in US history, and its total economic impact is just now coming into view. According to Automotive News, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan and Honda are set to scrap around 15,000 new vehicles ruined by the storm. Nissan alone accounts for about 40 percent of those, with 6,000 Nissan and Infiniti models deeded "un-saleable" due to damage. The company saw 56 dealerships shuttered due to the storm, but 51 of those have since reopened.
Toyota, meanwhile, had some 4,000 vehicles at its Newark port facility, and of those, 3,000 may be scrapped. An additional 825 were dealer inventory when they were ruined. Honda and Acura dealers are reportedly sending 3,440 vehicles to the salvage yard. By comparison, Chrysler weathered the storm fairly well with 825 units destroyed, while Hyundai suffered only 400 lost units and Kia scrapped around 200.
As you may recall, Fisker also suffered some losses, and Automotive News reports the manufacturer saw 320 Karma models damaged beyond repair. Ford and General Motors have yet to come up with estimates, and no automaker has commented on the full cost of replacing the vehicles.
