Conclusion

Up for bid is my 1930 Ford Model A Deluxe Town Sedan. I purchased this beautiful car from the same family that owned it since 1955. I knew the son who is now 62 years old and who’s father purchased this car for his wife as a second car in 1955. This car started life out just as you see it and was restored about six to seven years ago from a beautiful strait example as you will see from the pictures using all the original sheet metal from what I can tell and is just stunning throughout. I am sure I do not have to tell you how hard it is today to find cars like this but when you do and they are done like this is the results are just beautiful and will last a life time.

Let me begin that when this car was restored they did a complete body off the frame nut & bolt high quality restoration from bumper to bumper and all the mechanicals as well with less than two thousand miles since. This is a Murray factory body and still has the tag on the firewall. It is an early 1930 example and one of the first cars built in the year and was always a complete black car. The paint as you can see is just stunning in everyway anyplace you look with no cracking or spidering or shrinkage of any kind and the results are of AACA show quality level. The mileage of 79,736 we believe to be original since new in 1930 looking at notes and talking to the family. You can see that the brake & clutch pedals and little ware to them that would back this up and this was the reason I did not want to cover them with the add on rubber pedals, which by the way if the new buyer wants I will include a set with the car, just remind me. The fit on the entire body is of the very best I have seen and there is not a wave or sign of any body work to be found. I had the red pinstripe done as per judging and because of this being an early 30 car and all black it calls for Red Vermilion stripe as later in the year around September Ford went to Apple stripe. The interior in this car was also done to a very high correct level with over eight thousand spent just on the inside and has all the correct three sets of shades and pull straps along with the original rear interior light that came only on the deluxe town sedan. The top is the same level of quality and to be honest I don’t I have had anyone sit in the back, it’s that new. All the stainless is in great shape with no dings and the bumpers are all stainless rather than chrome plated and in my opinion much better even though they cost a lot more they are well worth it. The car comes with the moto-meter with the wings and has the running board step plates as well. The car is equiped with a 6-Volt alternator for better driving during evenings with the lights on. The underside right now is a little dusty and I took the pictures before I really did a good detail as I like to do but so far is coming out beautiful as there are not many miles on the restoration. The cars runs and shifts just beautiful as you can see & hear from the videos and all the glass and windows are perfect and everything is in top working order. The one thing that you should do is put a windshield wiper motor. The original was sent out to be restored and we never got it back. I will go through what I have and if I have one I will give it with the car. Just to add another note, there was directional signals installed and done properly with no ugly extra add on lights and work through the cowl lights and double tail lights and with cars today on modern roads I think it is a must for safety so long as they are done right like this.

Well I know I am going on here but this car is so special of an example that it will be very hard pressed to find and example like this for the money. I have priced this car low with a reserve under $ 20,000 and the reason I am mentioning this is to let you know its here to sell and you may never find a beautiful example like this car for the money. The last one I sold that I had owned sold for $ 4,000 to 5,000 more than the reserve I have here and this is better in some ways and the fact it was not passed to many owners and keep all original and not pieced together. Best of luck to all.

Rising aluminum costs cut into Ford's profit

Wed, Jan 24 2018

When Ford reports fourth-quarter results on Wednesday afternoon, it is expected to fret that rising metals costs have cut into profits, even as rivals say they have the problem under control. Aluminum prices have risen 20 percent in the last year and nearly 11 percent since Dec. 11. Steel prices have risen just over 9 percent in the last year. Ford uses more aluminum in its vehicles than its rivals. Aluminum is lighter but far more expensive than steel, closing at $2,229 per tonne on Tuesday. U.S. steel futures closed at $677 per ton (0.91 metric tonnes). Republican U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is weighing whether to impose tariffs on imported steel and aluminum, which could push prices even higher. Ford gave a disappointing earnings estimate for 2017 and 2018 last week, saying the higher costs for steel, aluminum and other metals, as well as currency volatility, could cost the company $1.6 billion in 2018. Ford shares took a dive after the announcement. Ford Chief Financial Officer Bob Shanks told analysts at a conference in Detroit last week that while the company benefited from low commodity prices in 2016, rising steel prices were now the main cause of higher costs, followed by aluminum. Shanks said the automaker at times relies on foreign currencies as a "natural hedge" for some commodities but those are now going in the opposite direction, so they are not working. A Ford spokesman added that the automaker also uses a mix of contracts, hedges and indexed buying. Industry analysts point to the spike in aluminum versus steel prices as a plausible reason for Ford's problems, especially since it uses far more of the expensive metal than other major automakers. "When you look at Ford in the context of the other automakers, aluminum drives a lot of their volume and I think that is the cause" of their rising costs, said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting at auto consultancy LMC Automotive. Other major automakers say rising commodity costs are not much of a problem. At last week's Detroit auto show, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV's Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marchionne reiterated its earnings guidance for 2018 and held forth on a number of topics, but did not mention metals prices. General Motors Co gave a well-received profit outlook last week and did not mention the subject. "We view changes in raw material costs as something that is manageable," a GM spokesman said in an email.

Ford Focus 1.0-liter Ecoboost to only get manual trans in US

Sun, 23 Feb 2014

Photos of the 2015 Ford Focus leaked earlier today, but now we're able to tell you more details of the global five-door hatchback. Bucking automaker's troubling trend of ditching manual transmissions in favor of automatics, Ford says the new 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine will come only in a six-speed manual in the US, because, well, American drivers aren't as sophisticated as our European brothers and sisters.
Ford didn't come out and say it that way, but it has found American drivers are more prone to complain about automatics in smaller-engine cars, Raj Nair, Ford's group vice president of global product development, said at a press conference last week. The recent JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study backs up Ford's claims, pointing out that drivers are complaining about rough transmission shifts, engine hesitation and lack of power, particularly in small cars. In Europe and other parts of the world, drivers seem to understand the quirks of these pint-sized engines, Nair said, so they'll have the option to buy an automatic. Ford is working on tuning its dual-clutch transmissions to make them more amenable to American driver's tastes.
Ford will show off the refreshed 2015 Focus at the Geneva Motor Show in early March. The car is due for an update, having been on sale in its current form since 2012. The automaker said it is jamming the car full of new technology - like a USB port that promises to charge your phone in half the time as a regular USB port. Features like Sync and a rear back-up camera will come standard. For a more in-depth look at the car, take a look at the full press release.

Ford Mustang GT Bi-Fuel CNG

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

Highly intrigued, we recently visited a Southern California Gas Company office to check out several hybrid vehicles promising something new. Unlike more commonplace gasoline-electric hybrids, we were there to evaluate innovative gasoline-compressed natural gas (CNG) hybrids - yes, they run on unleaded gasoline and compressed natural gas. According to the experts on hand, this arrangement delivers extended range and reduced emissions while chipping in with lower operating costs than pure-gasoline vehicles. There are advantages over its gasoline-electric counterparts, as well.
The program is part of a three-way collaboration between The Carlab, a Southern California-based automotive consulting firm, Landi Renzo USA, a company specializing in alternative fuel solutions, and America's Natural Gas Alliance, a group that promotes CNG. Long story short, the team has engineered a way to allow a modified internal combustion vehicle to seamlessly switch between two fuels (gasoline and CNG) with no driver intervention. In theory, and if it works as well as promised, it's a win-win for the vehicle owner and the environment.
Parked at the Gas Company office were six different gasoline-CNG hybrid vehicles. To demonstrate the technology's versatility (just about any gasoline vehicle may be modified) Carlab brought a varied assortment of bodystyles, each from a different automaker. After taking a quick glance at the half-dozen in the parking lot, we made a beeline for the performance-oriented Ford Mustang GT - a 2012 model - with the six-speed manual gearbox.
