 Of the 17 body styles offered in 1930, (the Model A’s third season), Ford offered a completely new Deluxe Coupe, it feathered a upscale interior housed in a close-coupled two-door sedan called “Victoria.”  The Victoria was most noteworthy, heralding a number of styling features that would find wider use in 1931.  Built with extra-wide doors for ease of entry, the Victoria had folding front seats for access to the roomy rear seat.  Behind the rear seat was luggage space, provided by adding a pleasing “bustle” to the car’s rear contour.  Introduced in November 1930, it had a visor-less slanted windshield and a lowered steering column, similar to that in the Deluxe Phaeton. These cars were available in two roof styles, with steel rear quarters or with a full padded fabric cover.   Just 6,447 Vicky’s were built in the final days of 1930, compared to 33,906 in produced in 1931.   This is an example of a limited production 1930 Vicky, it is all Henry Ford steel except for the front half fenders, powered by a 350 V8 and teamed up with a turbo 3 speed automatic transmission.  The restoration was done in the early 90’s, driven to car shows and weekend cruises.  There is NO rust and NO rust repair,  power disc front brakes, up graded CD, two-tone paint, old school wide White walls, 40’s hub caps with correct trim rings and more.  This Vicky drives GREAT, dependable, rare and a true investment.  #A43872.  Now On display at the home of “over the top cars” CHECKERED FLAG CLASSICS 7743 MONTEREY ST GILROY, 408-847-8788, sold as-is, California buyers are responsible for sales tax and license fees.  Bid with confidence I am a licensed bonded California dealer.  This car is for sale locally therefore the auction can end at any time.

2015 Ford C-Max gets a corporate nose job [w/video]

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

Ford might not have the splashiest booth here at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, but the automaker is showing off quite a bit of hardware that will actually end up on roads across Europe. Parisians are no doubt tickled at getting to see the specifications of the Mustang tuned for The Continent (which has a revised suspension for European roads, and a few visual nips and tucks), in addition to the revised face of the family-friendly C-Max.
As you can see, C-Max styling has been revisited with a deft touch, grafting Ford's six-sided corporate grille on the nose, in place of the outgoing car's two-part affair. New headlights can also be found on the car's revised front fascia, though the rear end of the C-Max looks only slightly different than the current version.
Inside the cabin, Ford has consolidated controls and upped the ante in terms of material quality, with "black satin" and chrome details and more storage capacity, overall. Grocery-lugging moms and dads everywhere should appreciate the hands-free liftgate feature, as well.

Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.
