1929 Ford Model A Sport Coupe
Beautiful example of an original Henry Ford steel car. Straight, solid, rust free body and fenders, no patch panels, runs and drives, car was stored in Sandwich NH for years (been in Sandwich since when it was bought new) recently has transferred through a couple of owners. I don't believe the car has ever been taken apart, appears to have had one repaint many years ago. Fenders are in excellent shape, no cracked beads or any repaired beads. Body is near perfect, I could not find any signs of rust or patch panels. This is a barn fresh car that has been cleaned up, car has great patina, very presentable (up close paint has minor scratches/ chips here and there). Great car to drive and enjoy this summer. Distributer just rebuilt with modern upper and lower plate. 

I believe the rumble seat upholstery is original, shows wear and has some minor tears and has cotton strings attached because previously had a seat cover(with a little bit of elbow grease seat should clean up).  The rumble seat cover matched the front seat, previous owner carefully removed cover.  I have the cover and it could be very easily installed again (seat covers are old but in great shape).  Front seat still has seat cover installed (refer to pics), feels like original upholstery is underneath, condition of upholstery under cover is unknown.  Top is in fair condition for its age, refer to pictures.  Windows roll up and down nice, all glass in good condition.

Car can be seen in Rochester NH. Would love to keep this car, but don't have the space.  Its getting harder and harder to find straight solid vehicles of this vintage.

NOTE: NH does not require titles for this year vehicle.  This is being sold with a bill of sale only (I can get it notarized if you would like).

Ford F-150 production hampered by frame shortage

Sat, May 30 2015

If anyone has questions about how Ford's new aluminum-bodied F-150 will hold up, it's not buyers. Orders are so strong for the fullsize pickup that competitors General Motors and Ram are discounting their offerings to hold onto market share. It's a shame for the Blue Oval then, that it can't build all the trucks it needs because frame supplier Metalsa isn't delivering enough frames. Neither Ford nor Metalsa has said what the problem is, but Ford employees are at Metalsa's Kentucky plant trying to get it sorted out, Automotive News reports. Overtime shifts at the Dearborn Truck Plant and the Kansas City Assembly Plant have been canceled due to the shortage that's been a problem for at least two months now. The issue is exacerbated by this being the changeover period in production from the old model to the new, which comes with its own issues. That would help explain why even though Dearborn production finished ramping up in January, output in April was down 9.2 percent compared to last year, according to AN. Transaction prices are up for the new truck, but overall F-150 production in Q1 was down 40 percent, and missing product means missing profits. Combined with the production drop for the new Ford Edge, the company's Q1 bottom line was robbed of $1 billion. It isn't clear when the frame issue will be solved, but workers at the plants are ready to run "all-out" when it is.

Muscle wins big at 2013 Amelia Island Concours as 1936 Duesenberg, 1968 Ford GT40 take top honors

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

The 18th-annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance took place this past weekend, and in one of the show's biggest years yet (bringing in more than 25,000 spectators and attracting more than 300 vehicles), two powerhouses ended up winning the judges' hearts. The top Concours d'Elegance award went to a 1936 Duesenberg SJN, while the Concours de Sport went to one of the celebrated marques, a 1968 Ford GT40.
Owned by Helen and Jack Nethercutt of Sylmar, CA, this flawless Duesy is described as "one of the most powerful open cars of the 1930s," and it displays design cues of the era like rolled fenders and a tapered rear end. The SJN's supercharged straight-eight allowed it to accelerate to 100 miles per hour in just 17 seconds - surely not a disappointing feat for its day.
On a much different level of performance and timelessness, this Gulf-livery GT40 from the Rocky Mountain Auto Collection is not outdone by the elegance of the big Duesenberg thanks to some well-documented racing history. This not only includes winning at LeMans in both 1968 and 1969 - Chassis No. 1075 also managed to win a total of six times in just 11 races.
