Listed is a very special 1953 Ford F-100 Pickup. This truck has been meticulously restored by its owner and is as fresh as they come. Turn the key and go!

The body has been freshly painted within the last year and has no damages other than a few very minor paint chips. The color is  PPG 'Sierra Blue', paint code 19188. It is non metallic and looks like a truck of this vintage should. During the restoration any flaws,,which were few and far between,were corrected using new metal or parts where needed. No bondo was used. The truck comes with spare parts including 2 older 1953 Ford wheels that can use the original style dog dish hubcaps and 4 1953 style stainless steel hubcaps as well. All window glass was replaced with tinted glass and installed using new rubber moldings. All weatherstrip on the cab was replaced as well. The owner used sierra blue colored 'bedliner' paint to spray the walls on the pickup box and the insides of the fenders. A very thorough way of covering these areas leaving a tough finish. The oak bed has been completely restored with new oak and stainless steel runners. New polished stainless steel bumpers were installed and dress up the truck. While its not a trailer queen, it certainly makes a stunning appearance that would make its owner proud at any show. The interior has been done over as well. The bench seat is black vinyl and has no problems. The dash and door panels are painted the same as the exterior as they should and look great. The dash cluster is original. The speedometer is working but the owner decided to upgrade the stock oil pressure and temperature gauges with more modern (and accurate) after market gauges that are mounted under the dash. As part of the restoration process, the headliner was replaced with and new, original style one that fits perfectly. Even the dome light and heater work!  The 50th anniversary horn center for the steering wheel is included but the retaining clip has a broken tab and rather than risking damage to it, the owner simply replaced it with a horn button for a later truck. So a new retaining clip could solve the issue. It is super clean inside and ready to go. The body was removed for the chassis during the restoration process. This permitted a thorough cleaning which shows in our pictures. All suspension and front end parts are solid and working as they should. The engine, a 239 Ford flathead with the stock 2 bbl carb was rebuilt and has only 100 or so miles on it. It runs very quietly and cruises at 55 MPH easily. The owner has not wanted to push it further but it is likely that it could do a bit better. It typically maintains 40 lbs. of oil pressure and runs at about 160-165 degrees. It has never overheated since restoration.  It has a 3 speed column shifted.transmission that shifts smoothly. All brake components were re-done and all new wiring, bumper to bumper, was installed. The truck will come with some extra parts such as the 2 wheels and 4 new hubcaps, a fresh air heater, and the side step plates in our pictures. This is a great opportunity to own a freshly restored, classic For F-100 Pickup. 1953 was an iconic year for Ford and this truck epitomizes the style and utility that Ford set out to do with their truck lines and still do.

Ford unveils all-new 2016 F-650 and F-750 at NTEA

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

Medium-duty work trucks might not be the most exciting vehicles, but they perform necessary jobs everyday. Ford is in the process of a complete refresh of its entire commercial vehicle lineup over the next 18 months, and it is debuting the all-new versions of its F-650 and F-750 trucks at the NTEA Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, IN.
"The all-new F-650/F-750 allow us to leverage our strengths and sales leadership in Classes 1 to 5 to create a better F-650/F-750 that's designed, engineered and built by Ford in the USA," said Ford spokesperson Mike Levine to Autoblog via email.
Huge amounts of torque is vital for trucks like these, and both models are offered with some of Fords biggest engines. Buyers can opt for either the 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 diesel with TorqShift 6-speed automatic with available power takeoff or a gasoline-fueled 6.8-liter V10 with a 6-speed automatic. The V10 can also be ordered from the factory to be fueled by compressed natural gas or liquid propane gas.

Ford recalling 65k Fusions from 2014 and 2015 because key can be removed

Tue, 18 Nov 2014

Ford is recalling an estimated 64,869 examples of the 2014-2015 Fusion, Fusion Energi and Fusion Hybrid in North America because the key can be removed when the vehicle isn't in Park under certain conditions. Specifically, the campaign covers 56,479 units in the US, 6,048 in Canada and 2,342 in Mexico, according to the automaker's tally on November 11.
Ford says a programming problem in the instrument cluster means that the key can be removed 30 minutes after the ignition is turned off, even if the transmission is not in Park. The situation where this could happen seems quite limited, and the company is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the issue. However, the fault puts the vehicle out of compliance with federal regulations covering theft protection and rollaways, and must be repaired.
The fix is easy: Ford will reprogram the instrument cluster at no cost to consumers. According to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker in an email to Autoblog, "We will notify customers the week of January 5th." Scroll down to read Ford's announcement.

Ford Figo concept unveiled in India

Mon, 03 Feb 2014

Ford has officially unveiled the Figo Concept at the 2014 Auto Expo in New Delhi. While it may wear a concept badge, we'd argue this little sedan, which is under 12 feet long, looks ready to replace the current Figo and do battle with other B-segment cars in the world's emerging markets.
"With the Figo Concept, we are showing that choosing a compact sedan does not mean compromising on premium design or smart solutions," said Kumar Galhotra, Ford's VP of engineering, global product development. That premium design includes Ford's familial, trapezoidal grille and Fusion-esque headlights in front, while the rear end reminds us of the last-generation Focus Coupe. While that car wasn't exactly attractive, the chopped off tail looks pretty nice on this smaller car. And if you really don't like the looks of the Figo Concept, just remember - it looks better than the current production model. Aerodynamically, the Figo's shape is quite slippery, which means reduced wind noise and improved fuel economy.
As for the "smart solutions" touted by Galhotra, the narrow confines of Indian streets make driving even the tiniest cars a challenge. To give the Figo Concept a one-up on the competition, Ford has fitted power-folding mirrors that sport a "flexible architecture," which should stand up well to bumps from cars, people or bikes. We don't have any interior images, but Ford is promising a large cabin, that includes a dock that can accommodate a phone or MP3 player, allowing either to be controlled through the car.
