Beautifully restored 1952 Ford Marmon Harrington F2 All wheel drive 3/4 ton truck. This truck
went through a full body off nut and bolt restoration in the early 1990s by a well known 1952 Ford private
collector, parts and funding were not an issue when this truck was done and the results are obvious. I was a teen
at the time this truck was coming together and always admired its quality an detail. Then many years later I was
able to buy it out of his private collection. It's worth mentioning the
previous owner is very patriotic and wouldn't think of using foreign or any non OEM parts during its restoration so
all it's parts are USA made or NOS Ford, taken from his large inventory of NOS 52 Ford parts he was a large scale
collector. So you can be assured this isn't a restoration with a hodgepodge of foreign stuff today's market seems
to bring.
The engine is the correct era 239 V8 Flathead Ford and was rebuilt prior to the restoration and starts and runs
very nice. The only point I can deduct from the entire truck is that the engine block has a small repair near the
r/s water-pump that probably dates back to the 1950s and was obviously a good enough job that the rebuilder saw no
reason to replace it in after pressure testing in the early 90s when it was rebuilt prior to being installed in
this truck. This is not an issue it does not affect any performance or cause the engine to do anything unusual like
leak or run hot. The bed has been rebuilt using kiln treated, sanded and sealed hardwood, the trim is stainless steel and is show
caliber. The paint is one of the trucks many highlights, it is the factory color this truck was date coded with,
and is PPG Delstar Acrylic enamel, the finish is a 10 out of 10 I'm certain this paint job in today's market would
cost you over 20k to duplicate, which is one of the reasons I'm nervous to be around it. The interior is also
extremely nice and the seat has be reupholstered the spring set and even the burlap are were NOS 52 Ford, the
headliner replaced, all gages work even the dome light goes on and off with the doors being opened and shut, and
both spot lights shine bright. The odometer reads the mileage since the trucks rebuild.
To my knowledge everything on this truck works as
it should I have put a limited amount of miles on it with no problems, leaks,etc. It has been very well received
in the parades and shows I've had it in. The truck pretty much speaks for itself. This would make a wonderful
marketing tool for a large company to enjoy. I hold a clear title in hand.

2017 Ford Super Duty trucks recalled because the fuel tank could fall off
Wed, Dec 21 2016Bad news from Dearborn. Ford just announced a pair of recalls, including a particularly worrying flaw in the new F-Series Super Duty. According to Ford's official announcement, there are roughly 8,000 of its big trucks on the roads with a missing reinforcement bracket – if it's not there, the fuel tank could separate from the frame. Yes, Ford is basically saying the fuel tank could fall out. We don't need to explain why this would be a very bad thing. Fortunately, no owners have experienced said bad things – Ford claims it's unaware of any fires, injuries, or accidents resulting from the flaws. The Kentucky Truck Plant built the affected pickups between August 10 and September 17. The bulk of the vehicles are in the US – 7,103, to be precise. Another 964 are cruising around the frozen Canadian tundra, while two more are in "federalized territories." The other recall is smaller, but reaches across a broad swath of the Blue Oval's family vehicles. Ford says there are 1,352 Taurus sedans, Flex crossovers, Explorer SUVs – including the Police Interceptor Utility variant – and Lincoln MKTs equipped with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 that could catch fire. In this case, the danger isn't a detached fuel tank, but an "improperly brazed turbocharger oil supply tube" that could leak and spill engine oil on the turbocharger. Again, Ford isn't aware of any fires, accidents, or injuries due to the flaw. Here's the breakdown of manufacturer dates and location: 2016 Ford Taurus vehicles built at Chicago Assembly Plant, Oct. 18, 2016 to Nov. 2, 2016 2016-17 Ford Flex vehicles built at Oakville Assembly Plant, Oct. 18, 2016 to Nov. 10, 2016 2017 Ford Explorer vehicles built at Chicago Assembly Plant, Oct. 15, 2016 to Nov. 12, 2016 2017 Ford Police Interceptor Utility vehicles built at Chicago Assembly Plant on Nov. 2, 2016 2016-17 Lincoln MKT vehicles built at Oakville Assembly Plant, Oct. 18, 2016 to Nov. 10, 2016 As with the Super Duty recall, most of the affected cars, crossovers, and SUVs are in the US market. There are 126 units in Canada and six in the same "federalized territories" mentioned above. In the case of both recalls, dealers will inspect the affected parts and replace or add them as necessary.

Ford could post best-ever profits in Q1 2013
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Analysts are saying that Ford Motor Company may have earned a record $2.7 billion pretax profit in North America during the first quarter of 2013, a number that represents its highest first quarter profit ever. The impressive earnings are further proof that the American automaker is making a solid comeback as the economy begins to recover.
Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan Chase are estimating that Ford's first quarter North American profit may have topped 12 percent. The firm cited the automaker's fresh lineup, but noted that CEO Alan Mulally needs to uphold the pace as the company works to gain ground in the car and utility segments.
Ford's success has been led by increased demand for its F-Series pickup, the best-selling vehicle in the US for 31 years, and by the Fusion sedan that recently recorded its best-ever quarterly sales in the domestic market. Ford is expected to release its first-quarter revenue on Wednesday, of this week.
Stock Miata beats bunch of high-powered cars in wet 1/4-mile drag race
Thu, 06 Jun 2013When is a stock, 167-horsepower Mazda MX-5 Miata quicker than a Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lotus Elise and a Porsche 911? When it's raining. Sort of.
Mazda Canada arranged a unique drag race to show off the fact that the Miata's optional power retractable folding hardtop can go from top-down to top-up in just 12 seconds flat. In this video, all six cars line up for a drag race, and it starts to rain (well, sort of - but you'll have to watch the video all the way to the end to see what we mean). The green flag is waved, and the timer starts as soon as the convertibles begin to put their tops up. But because the Miata's roof mechanism gets the car's roof back up a full 5.1 seconds quicker than the second-place car, the Mazda gets a serious advantage off the line for the actual drag race.
It's a fun video. And while we've spoiled the results (come on, the video was uploaded by Mazda, you knew the Miata was going to win), be sure to see how it all unfolds, below.
