This beautiful Historic Vehicle is road-ready. 1929 Ford Model A 2-door Special Coupe 49A. This is a rare automobile. Here's why . . . Henry Ford produced nearly 5,000,000 Model A’s,
but only 18,500 of this model, and only between July 1928 and July
1929. It is very difficult to find a Special Coupe, especially one
in such good condition as this. Don’t let this one slip away. She’s got an original 201-ci L-head engine and
3-speed transmission. It goes down the road straight, shifts
smoothly, and the 4-wheel mechanical brakes stop you just as Henry Ford
designed. Ford was once asked why he didn’t use the hydraulic brakes other
companies used. His reply, “If you have just one hydraulic leak, you
lose all your brakes. When have you ever seen all four brake rods
fail at the same time on one of my cars?” Smart move. Back
then hydraulics were pretty bad. This Special Coupe is graced with an older, excellent restoration in very good shape with a few little chips, crackling, and scratches as you would expect from a vehicle that has been enjoyed as it should be. Lots of thumbs-up wherever she goes. You can’t help but smile when you’re driving this sweet Model A coupe. The interior is in very good condition having
had a great restoration in the past and shows very well (see photos) with no
musty odors or smoke smells. It’s very clean and very well cared
for. The windows roll up and down with
ease. The windshield tilts out. The doors open and close
easily. The top is exceptionally tight with no tears. She’s in wonderful condition so you can use it right now and have a great time with the family! Or if you want, it is a great candidate for a Museum Quality Restoration, Advertising & Promotional use, a hot rod project, or a parade car. Put your friends or the kids in the rumble seat, tilt out the windshield, and go for a cruise to the drive-in or the local car show. If you’re looking for a very rare 1929 Ford
Model A Special Coupe, you won’t find a better example than this beauty –
especially at this price. The reserve is set low for the value of
this 85-year old automobile. A 1929 Special Coupe was listed recently
in Hemmings for $35,000. My reserve is set at less than half that. SOME DETAILS:

Watch how Ken Block spent his weekend in Barbados
Thu, 22 May 2014Regardless of what you think of his skill as a racer, Ken Block is an expert showman. At this point, he has a career of showing up around the world to do vehicular stunts, and he's still able to go racing as well. It's a pretty sweet niche to carve out. Recently, Block was in Barbados to participate in Top Gear Live and the first event of the Global Rallycross Championship season, and Ford Racing produced a short video to show off his exploits.
It looked like a great show. Block got to race Lewis Hamilton in a Mercedes-Benz Formula One car and had a very weird crash during a Rallycross race that put his Ford Fiesta on its roof. Top Gear also released an extended look at Block and Hamilton's spectacle with the two of them expertly sliding around. Scroll down to watch the videos and get a taste of Block's tropical racing adventure.
Ford Q1 profits dragged down by warranty costs
Fri, 25 Apr 2014General Motors isn't the only Detroit automaker posting falling profits in the first quarter. Ford just released its Q1 2014 financial data, and it reported a net income of $989 million, down $622 million from Q1 2013. The drop is partially blamed on higher warranty and recall expenses than the company had anticipated.
Financially, Ford suffered a rough quarter almost across the board. Its pre-tax profit of $1.4 billion was also down $765 million from a year ago. Things were even worse in the North American market where operating profit fell significantly to $1.5 billion, down from $2.392 billion in Q1 2013. However, its global revenue ticked up slightly to $35.9 billion, from $35.6 billion in this period in 2013.
Ford admitted that it spent about $900 million on expenses that it hadn't planned for during this quarter. According to Reuters, the company paid about $400 million in additional warranty and recall costs in North America. The automaker didn't explain why the costs were so much higher than expected. However, in the last three months, Ford has had several recalls, including on the 2001-2004 Escape for rust, Explorer for its steering, Edge for its fuel line and others.
Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.
