1951 Ford F100 “Five Star Cab” Pickup Truck

Fuzzy Dice Auto Sales has up for auction a hidden treasure estate vehicle! This is a classic 1951 Ford F100 Flat Head V8 Pick Up Truck that belonged to the very well known stock car racer, Dick Fleck.

Fleck bought this truck new and kept it until he passed away recently in 2013. We purchased it from the family in an estate sale. Dick Fleck lived in Pennsylvania and raced stock cars through-out the east coast and Florida. In a book that he wrote he describes his trips and how he towed his stock car to all the events with his 1951 Pickup Truck. The very same pick up that you see here for auction! The book and other documents go with the truck.When he bought the truck it was blue. Disliking the color, he had it painted red three years later and also had the interior done to match the car. So the paint and interior were actually re-done 59 years ago! The lacquered paint still shines and the interior is presentable. The all steel body is totally rust free but as expected there are blemishes in the body and paint. Most notably are scuffs and some areas of fading on the fenders. These defects are depicted in the photos. A re-paint would make her look new, but if I owned her I’d leave it just as you see it with all its history.The truck still has its original AM radio and heater that are both still functional. It’s also equipped with working windshield wipers, turn signals and a battery shut off switch.

Here are some of the recent updates we preformed;

Brand new Gas Tank, New Fuel Lines, New Brake Hoses, New Wheel Cylinders, New 6 Volt Battery, New Wiper Blades.

Only 18 Miles on the totally rebuilt, bored .040 over, v8 motor with adjustable lifters, Mercury heads and a rebuilt carb and fuel pump. The truck runs quiet, smooth and peppy. She goes straight down the road and stops on a dime. The wooden truck bed was covered with steel flooring many years ago, but as you will see pictured the original wood remains.

This is a very nice example of a 1951 Ford truck that I would not hesitate driving anywhere and often. The 51’ Ford F100 half -ton is a widely sought after vehicle and are increasingly becoming hard to fine. Do not miss out on this classic vehicle and its interesting history. The photographs show the good and the not so good. Please don’t hesitate to ask for any additional pictures and/or information.

We now have this excellent truck displayed on our lot for sale locally as well, and as expected the lookers are flying in! So get your bids in right away if you are interested as not to miss out on it!

Thank you and best of luck bidding!

Ford bondage ads reportedly trigger firings at Indian ad agency

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

You will probably remember the ads for the Ford Figo hatchback in India, the ones that showcased the extra large boot of the little hatchback by joking that you can fit three of your enemies in the trunk. One of the ads had Michael Schumacher in the front seat, obviously pleased about having Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso tied up in the back. But the other two had Paris Hilton and ex-Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi up front and three bound and gagged women in the back - in Hilton's case (shown above), it was the Kardashians.
This did not go over well, and Reuters reports that certain employees at JWT India have been fired over the matter. It is also reported that the images weren't actual advertisements, nor were they part of an actual campaign; JWT said they "were never intended for paid publication, were never requested by our Ford client." A JWT rep said the employees who created the ads did so on their own, Ford commented to Automotive News that the ads were "part of a creative exercise intended to test concepts for an advertising competition."
The problem, if the story is to be believed, is that the employees skipped the regular review protocols and uploaded their work to an ad industry site - they were found on Ads of the World. That page, like the employees, has been removed.

Enterprise working with renter's insurance to cover $47k Mustang stolen from its lot

Sat, 11 Jan 2014

There was more than a bit of public indigence following the recent story of Enterprise Rent-A-Car billing a customer $47,000 to replace a Ford Mustang GT Convertible stolen from a Nova Scotia lot. To recap: Kristen Cockerill rented the Mustang for two days, returned it to the lot on a Sunday and left the keys in a secure dropbox only for Enterprise employees to find the car gone the next day.
Despite Enterprise policies stating that customers are responsible for vehicles dropped on off-days, the company has admitted that the situation could've been handled a bit better.
In a recent statement, Enterprise has backed off the big-bill story, and claims to be working with Cockerill and her insurance company to resolve the issue. Further, the Enterprise general manager overseeing Nova Scotia has spoken with the harried renter, and apologized "for the way this claim was handled during the last few months."

Bill Ford wins National Pond Hockey Championship with employees

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

Who says executives aren't people? This past weekend, Bill Ford, executive chairman of Ford Motor Company, and a group of employees trekked up to Eagle River, WI for a few games of pond hockey. Team Ford took part in the 2014 Labatt Blue/USA Pond Hockey Championship, capturing its fifth title in the 50+ Tier 1 Division.
"It feels great to win," Ford, who plays on the team alongside other Ford employees, told the USA Hockey website. "It was fun to play [River Valley Pioneers] because they're great guys and we play them every year. We finally beat them, which we were due. It was a very clean game, a tough game."
The FoMoCo team managed to score seven goals to River Valley's two, and went undefeated in all five of its games during the tourney. Take a look below for the official press release on Team Ford's win.
