1940 Ford Deluxe Convertible Coupe on 2040-cars
Madison, Maine, United States
The car is said to have been repainted in its current Mandarin Maroon under previous ownership and features chrome bumpers, chevron taillights, a Ford-script locking gas cap, rear fender skirts, dual side-view mirrors, turn signals, and a Ford-branded front bumper guard. Paint bubbling is noted on the left rear fender, and the left-rear fender skirt does not sit flush according to the selling dealer.
The body-color steel wheels wear chrome hubcaps and trim rings, and they are mounted with 600R16 Coker Classic whitewall radial tires that were installed in 2013. A matching spare wheel and tire are mounted in the trunk. The vacuum-operated tan soft top features a zip-out glass rear window and is stowed under a matching top boot.
The cabin features seats trimmed in tan upholstery along with matching door panels, tan rear carpets, and a matching front floor mat. Features include an AM radio, front lap belts, and a locking glovebox with an inset clock. A split is noted in the driver-side floor mat, and the hand throttle knob is disconnected.
The two-spoke steering wheel shows cracks in the rim and frames a 100-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges. A Sunpro water temperature gauge is mounted below the dash, and the factory water temperature gauge does not work. The five-digit odometer shows 75k miles, and total mileage is unknown.
The 221ci flathead V8 was rated at 85 horsepower when new and is fitted with an Offenhauser intake manifold and aluminum cylinder heads, a Holley 390-cfm carburetor, a cast aluminum air filter assembly, and a 12-volt electrical system with an alternator. A Walker radiator is also fitted along with an electric cooling fan.

Ford celebrates 1 millionth Mustang built at Flat Rock
Thu, 18 Apr 2013Yesterday, the Ford Mustang turned 49 years old, and Ford didn't miss the opportunity to celebrate the one millionth version of the Mustang rolling off the assembly line at the Flat Rock Assembly plant. Production of the Mustang at Flat Rock coincided with the fifth-generation design launching in 2004, and the one millionth car was the car shown above, a 2014 GT convertible painted in Ruby Red.
In total, Ford has sold more than 8.5 million Mustangs since the original car went on sale, but some of the key milestones over the car's nine years at Flat Rock include the Shelby GT-H, Bullitt, Boss 302 and, of course, the 662-horsepower Shelby GT500. Scroll down for a press release celebrating Flat Rock's milestone Mustang.
Ford hiring 800 more salaried workers than originally expected
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is on a roll this year, with excellent quarterly earnings and better-than-expected vehicle sales leading to 800 more job opportunities with the Blue Oval. In January, Ford announced that it wanted to hire 2,200 salaried employees, but, since then, that figure has been revised to 3,000, representing a 36-percent increase over original projections. About 1,500 of those jobs remain, 80 percent of which are technical professional positions.
"Engineers and technical professionals are in as much demand as our cars, trucks and SUVs," says Felicia Fields, Ford Group Vice President for Human Resources. Helping to spur this job growth are increasing market share on both the West and East Coast and robust demand for the Ford Escape and F-150.
To find job candidates, Ford is reaching out to them via Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, in addition to the company's corporate career site. The Blue Oval is also ramping up its presence on college campuses.
Ford to build Explorer in Russia to meet demand [w/video]
Fri, 12 Apr 2013The current Ford Explorer is sold in more than 64 countries, and this three-row vehicle continues to grow in popularity worldwide. To keep up with demand, Ford began producing the Explorer at Ford Sollers Elabuga Assembly Plant in Tatarstan, Russia, a joint venture facility. This partnership will build Russian-market Explorers only, and production of export vehicles not destined for Russian buyers will continue to be built at Ford's assembly plant in Chicago.
Before this plant went online, Ford would ship Explorers to Russia (and other regions around the world) as partially assembled knock-down units where final assembly would eventually take place. While there is no indication as to how many Explorers Ford Sollers will build for Russia, Ford did add that exports of the SUV were up 65 percent last year (from 2011) accounting for more than 24,000 units.
Scroll down for a press release about the Russian Explorer as well as a video (bad music and all) showing the SUV being produced in Tatarstan.
