Short version: Engine rebuilt 2000 miles ago. Mechanically gone through 10 yrs ago. Exterior done 5-6 years ago. Interior partially original but in poor shape.
Long version: We are selling our Dads 1929 Model A. He was 81 when he passed away last year, and it was his favorite toy to joyride around town and pass the time. Mom is moving to a smaller house, and the car needs a home. Us kids appreciate the car and the memories, but lack of places to store it and lack of time to use and enjoy the car doesn't make sense for us to keep it. So unfortunately it needs to go, and hopefully to someone who will appreciate a car like this. I want to give a history of what I know about the car. The folks acquired the car back in the late 50's on the family farm. I only remember it setting in the 'Model A garage', with the rakes and tools. It would get pulled out once a year, steal a battery out of a tractor for it, then usually end up pulling it with a tractor to get it running. We'd play with it for the day, then back in the garage, the battery back in he tractor, and not much would be seen of it again til next yr, or until the next time Dad had the urge to get it out of the shed. It was like that until the mid 80's, I was in shop class in high school, and Dad wanted me to take it in as a project, rebuild the engine and get it in better mechanical condition, so I did. The engine came out and I disassembled it. It was sent off to a machine shop out of town that could do the babbitt bearings and reconditioning of it. I reassembled it with the help of the shop teacher, and I installed it and ran it. I remember working on the ignition, brakes and such to make it a little more road worthy. I think I put in some new brake liners also. After that it went back out to the farm and back in the shed. After us kids were gone, I'm not sure it moved a whole lot, just sat in the shed. The folks moved into town in 2001, and the Model A went with them. It was at that time Dad had more time to play with his toy, which looking back was probably his intentions when he bought the car years ago, his retirement toy. I would say its 10 years ago now that he took it to a guy out of town known for restoring old cars, and had some work done on it. He went through it mechanically, repaired and/or replaced whatever needed to be done to make it more dependable on the road. He got it back to town and started driving it around, and everyone knew him in that car, driving around, honking at people he knew. About 5-6 years ago, he had it painted by a local body shop in town. If I recall, there was no rust to repair, maybe one dent in a fender, but it was a pretty solid body. The top was replaced, the pads on the running boards were replaced, and the exterior overall is in very good condition. There are a few light scratches on the hood, likely from opening/closing the covers. It sat in the garage with a cover on it all the time. There are a few spare parts in the back seat that he didn't get around to putting on, they will go with the car. For whatever reason, restoring the interior was never pursued. I guess that didn't matter to him much. Its the same interior that I've always known. From talking with others now, I believe the headliner and rear side panels are original, the door panels and the front seat materials are not. Regardless, it would need to be done if that was someones desire. As the pictures show, mice spent some time in it while on the farm. There have been no mice in it since it left the farm though, and all the wiring and such has been replaced since then, so interior damage is all that remains from the mice. There's the short story of my Dad and his Model A. Please ask any question you may have. The car is now located in Hastings, Nebraska, and can be seen by appointment. It will be available to local pick up only, I will not transport. I'll post as many pictures as I can, if you need pictures of something more specific, just ask. Thanks for looking. |

Mulally confirms he's not leaving Ford for Microsoft
Tue, 07 Jan 2014In recent months, rumors had been flying about Ford CEO Alan Mulally potentially leaving the company to take a position at Microsoft. Last we heard, Mulally was planning to stick around at Ford through at least 2014, and in an interview today, that bit was confirmed by the CEO himself.
According to the Associated Press, in a report from The Detroit News, Mulally said he will not be leaving Ford for Microsoft, and reiterated that he will remain at the Blue Oval through 2014, if not longer. Mulally has "no plans other than to serve Ford," according to the report.
Mulally did not say whether or not he had been in talks with Microsoft at any point. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has said he plans to leave the software company sometime this year.
Ford recalls 200K Escape, Transit Connect models over instrument panel
Thu, Jun 25 2015Ford is announcing two new recalls that cover a total of 203,494 vehicles in North America. By far the larger of the campaigns is a recall for 203,445 examples of the 2014-2015 Escape and Transit Connect in North America. Specifically, there are 182,520 units recalled in the US, 18,226 in Canada, and 2,699 in Mexico. For these models, the instrument cluster, warning messages, lights, and chimes might not work at startup. This problem puts the vehicles out of compliance with the federal motor vehicle code, and the fix is a software update. The other recall is minuscule and only affects 49 units of the 2015 Transit that are owned by a single fleet customer. The company's vans have a specially ordered front passenger seatbelt, but the parts aren't labeled correctly under the federal code. Everything works properly, though, according to Ford. The fix is simply a new decal with the required info. No accidents or injuries are known to be related to either of these two recalls. Related Video: FORD ISSUES TWO SAFETY COMPLIANCE RECALLS IN NORTH AMERICA DEARBORN, Mich., June 24, 2015 – Ford is issuing two safety compliance recalls in North America. There are no accidents or injuries attributed to these conditions. Details are as follows: Ford issues safety compliance recall for certain 2014-2015 Transit Connect and Escape vehicles for instrument panel issue Ford Motor Company is issuing a safety compliance recall for approximately 203,500 2014-2015 Transit Connect and Escape vehicles in North America for an issue with the instrument panel cluster. When starting the vehicle, the instrument cluster, warning chimes, messages and warning lights may not work, which is a compliance issue with FMVSS 101 and other applicable FMVSS requirements. If these displays don't work as intended, it could increase the risk of a crash. Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries associated with this issue. Affected vehicles include certain 2014-2015 Transit Connect vehicles built at Valencia Assembly Plant in Spain, May 13, 2014 to Dec. 10, 2014 and certain 2014-2015 Escape vehicles built at Louisville Assembly Plant, May 19, 2014 to Feb. 6, 2015. There are 203,445 vehicles in North America, including 182,520 in the United States and federalized territories, 18,226 in Canada and 2,699 in Mexico. Dealers will update the instrument panel cluster software at no cost to the customer.
