I am helping my elderly neighbor sell his 1930 Model A. It took him maybe 25 years to finish this Model A. Kids got in the way etc. He finished it maybe 10 years ago. Seldom driven. He had more fun restoring it than driving it. Some things are original and some things are custom. The frame, engine and drivetrain etc are all OEM Ford. The cab is modified. The box in the back is custom made. Originally he was making a boat tail for it but lost interest and decided to make it like a truck with a wood box. This started as a hardtop. He found a convertible top frame at a swap meet and decided to make it a convertible. The top will go down but he does not put it down because some of the arms hit and would damage the paint. 17" tires. Aftermarket front shocks. Engine professionally rebuild by a company that specializes in rebuilding these engines. New Radiator. Converted to 12 volts and an alternator. He has the original generator and 6 volt stuff. Stainl;ess steel bumpers. Many stainless steel nuts and bolts were used. All turned and hand polished. The fenders are fiberglass. The rest is steel. All the woodwork was done by the owner. As ytou can see the woodwork on the doors is very intricate and took him a long time to fit. The tailgate doers not open although it is made to look like it would. Electric windshield wiper. Always a fan favorite at local car shows. Parade ready. Needs nothing. Drive it anywhere. Show car clean. For info call Dave at 414-762-7426

Toyota hangs on to title of world's largest automaker for first half of 2013
Fri, 26 Jul 2013General Motors and Ford can have all the success they please, but it doesn't seem like America's two largest manufacturers are going to topple Toyota in the first half of 2013. According to Reuters, Toyota moved 4.91 million vehicles in the first six months of 2013, representing a 1.1-percent drop from the same period in 2012.
GM is on the rise, though, with a four-percent increase in global sales, to 4.85 million. Volkswagen, still sitting in third, saw a 5.5-percent jump to 4.7 million vehicles in the first half of 2013.
If this pace continues for Toyota, it'll finish 2013 in the top sales spot for the second year in a row. The manufacturer fell to third, behind GM and VW, in 2011 after earthquakes and tsunamis ravaged its production capacity.
First 500 European Ford Mustangs reserved in 30 seconds [w/video]
Thu, 29 May 2014We're pretty sure that any initial concerns Ford had about selling the redesigned Mustang in Europe have been lessened considerably, after the first 500 Euro-spec 2015 Mustangs were been reserved in just 30 seconds. Moreover, 9,300 people attempted to snag one of the coveted orders for the all-new muscle car. Yes, Mustang, you should do quite well across the pond.
The registration event was held during the UEFA (pronounced yu-eh-fa) Champions League Final between Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid.
"We knew there was huge excitement building for the new Ford Mustang coming to Europe, but the response during the UCL Final was overwhelming," said Roelant de Waard, VP of marketing, sales and service for Ford's European outfit. "It was a truly special way to kick off the Ford Mustang era in Europe."
Ford builds two-millionth EcoBoost engine
Tue, 17 Sep 2013Ford's EcoBoost engine lineup is only four years old, but it is growing into an important and popular global engine. As proof of its popularity, Ford just produced its 2 millionth EcoBoost engine - a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder - which rolled off the assembly line in Louisville, Kentucky under the hood of an Escape.
Ford now offers five EcoBoost engines around the world ranging from the 1.0-liter inline-three to the twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6, and the automaker is expanding production of two of its engine lines to keep up with demand. Earlier this year, Ford announced that the 2.0-liter EcoBoost would be built in Cleveland, Ohio starting in 2014 and, more recently, Ford said that it will be doubling production of the 1.0-liter EcoBoost in Germany. That turbo-three will also be produced in China at a new Ford engine plant in Chongqing.
Scroll down for Ford's full press release on this EcoBoost production milestone, including a breakdown of where all the engines were made.
