1951 Ford F1 Original V8 Flathead & Vermillion Red, 0 Miles Since Frame-off - Nr on 2040-cars

Year:1951 Mileage:64721
Location:

Houston, Texas, United States

Houston, Texas, United States

Yes, this is the real deal...
This is the rare show truck you have been seeking for years, with a low starting bid and no reserve.

64,721 Miles - Strongly believed to be actual!

Very Low starting price and NO RESERVE. 
NOTE: We hate to have to to this; but the tire-kickers, low-ballers, bottom-feeders, and other undeveloped lifeforms are brutal. If you do not have cash, permission from your spouse, and a healthy respect for how crazy-low the starting price is, please do not bother wasting either of our time. If there are not any real buyers paying attention on ebay, I'll just take it to Barrett-Jackson in the fall with my other cars, where it will go BIG. If you have a Buyitnow offer above the opening bid amount (before there is an opening bid); we will consider it.
To be fair, we will be very reluctant to pull it down once there is an opening bid.  So... the best way to get it is to bid early.              

1951 Ford F1 Original/Matching number V8 Flathead with correct Vermillion Red in base/clear
0 miles since complete Frame-off restoration.

Laser straight with best-of-show paint job.  We were able to find the formula for the Vermillion Red on the trim tag and it is correct.

Flathead V-8 runs smoothly and starts quickly. Battery relocated from subfloor to firewall

Very rare long-wrap rear bumper.
Grille teeth were painted the correct silver/gray
Bumpers and running boards correct gloss black

New Interior and Carpet, New chrome on hood, Glass is clear and excellent.

Replaced the entire 6v wiring harness to match factory

New wood with 7 coats of clear (top & bottom).

Tires are in great shape

Obviously it is an AS-IS 63 year old truck
Clear Texas title and 5-year Classic registration to drive today
It can go straight from the transport truck to the car show next weekend in your town.

We have a few local dealers sniffing around, so we reserve the right to end early, but they do not move very fast.
I have great respect for real buyers & sellers on fleabay, but emails from low-ballers and the illiterate will not be answered.

Ford's Farley apologizes for saying Blue Oval tracks customers with GPS

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

Ford marketing head honcho Jim Farley made waves at CES this week by telling show attendees, "We know everyone who breaks the law, we know when you're doing it." according to a report by Business Insider. Farley continued by saying, "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone."
Farley has since amended his statement, saying that Ford dose not, in fact, track its customers in their cars "without their approval or consent."
Apparently carried away with a hypothetical notion, Farley was attempting to describe how Ford might be able to employee aggregated user data for things like accurate traffic reporting and pattern spotting. A Ford spokesperson confirmed with Business Insider that its GPS units are not sharing the whereabouts of drivers, though there are a few on-board services that might do so. After opting in to the services (and presumably being made aware of any/all tracking and data collection), Ford's Sync Services Directions and Crew Chief software do, in fact, allow data collection as a means of improving both systems. Farley added that the opt-in data is not shared, even when being tracked.

Ford unveils Mustang 50th anniversary logo, plans merchandise

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

The Ford Mustang turns 50 years old this year, and this is the logo that will announce the milestone occasion on a special line of merchandise. The graphic is the result of an internal design competition, and Ford will give 50 different companies the license to use it on traditional logo merchandise like shirts and watches, along with some untraditional items like pinball machines.
Ford is going to begin the celebrations at this week's New York Auto Show and continue them throughout the year, but April 17 is the official birthday of the the pony car that just won't quit. You can expect to start seeing anniversary merchandise in the next couple of weeks.

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.
