Info/Background on the truck:
This is the Detroit Vintage Wheels Shop Truck for the last 4 years (hence all the different wheels on it in the photos). I purchased it from the original owners son 4 years ago.  Him and is father used it for their painting business in Tempe Arizona since it was new until I bought it in 2010.  No problems in 4 years of being my shop truck.  I have not driven it in the winter time or in any snow or salted roads. It has been stored durring winters for its Michigan years.  I have used it for road rallys, cruises, michigan road tours, and long distance trips to pick up wheels from all around Michigan durring the summer months. Its great truck.  You can either just keep driving it as is. 

The body (underside and frame and all brake lines/fuel lines included) Does not have rust...The drivers door was replaced and it has rust - in the lower corner, see the picture of this.   I have used the truck as a truck.  I do not worry about scratches or dings.  It has plenty of scratches and scrapes from years of use.  The interior was redone many years ago with some red velvet interior. it is worn but fuctional and I like it and most people do to.  It has a lot of character as they say.  

300c.i. inline 6 cylinder epic Ford motor starts idles and runs great.  4 speed over drive transmission shifts with no problems.  Drives tight. No Smoke.  A/C is not working - it worked when I bought it but i never use it and now it not working. i just removed the belt. it is not seized.  My work/shop truck basicaly just need gas to start working for you.

Ford partnering with MIT, Stanford on autonomous vehicle research

Fri, 24 Jan 2014

Ask 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.

Long winter means most automakers won't curb summer shutdown

Sun, 18 May 2014

A lot more happened during this latest brutal winter than days of snow and Netflix binges. Automotive sales took a battering. After all, going out car shopping when it's eleventy-billion degrees below zero isn't a good time.
Because of this Old Man Winter-induced sales slump, inventories are abnormally high as we head into the summer car buying season. That's led some analysts to predict that automakers will be more inclined to idle factories this summer, in a bid to trim some of the built-up inventory. Traditionally, American manufacturers offer up a two-week break in the middle of summer, although the burgeoning sales of the past few years have seen this practice become less popular.
"We're likely not going to see an acceleration this year," Jeff Schuster, a senior vice president at LMC Automotive, told The Detroit News. "We'll see production increases in 'pockets' but I don't know if it will be as widespread as in recent years."

Ford bringing C-Max Solar Energi Concept to CES

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

Solar energy might not be enough to power a usable electric vehicle on its own, but that doesn't mean it can't lend a helping hand. And that's what Ford has in store for the Consumer Electronics Show opening next week in Las Vegas.
Ford has essentially taken its C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid and fitted it with the latest in solar panel technology developed by SunPower, acting like a magnifying glass to capture as much of the sun's energy as possible. So you get the benefit of an electric vehicle, with the range assurance of a hybrid, without needing to draw from the grid.
Ford estimates that a day of charging in the sunshine will give the C-Max Solar Energi concept the same full charge as the production PHEV, with a total range of 620 miles - 21 of which can be run on electric power alone. Otherwise the vehicle - which remains a concept for the time being - is identical to the existing C-Max Energi. The top-selling model in Ford's growing hybrid and electric vehicle portfolio helps put Ford just behind Toyota among the top seller of hybrids in America. Scope out the images in the gallery above and the video clip and press release below for a closer look.
