I am offering for sale a 1931 Ford Model A Coupe. This vehicle was built from the ground up. The pictures do not due the paint color full justice, as when the sun reflects the many colors of the metal flakes gives it an eye catching glimmer. This car is not a radical street rod. It is a beautiful, well constructed, mild street rod, built for crusing, showing, and having fun in. It looks and sounds great. I have all the build receipts which totals in excess of $27,000. The car was completed in 2007. I have shown it several times and won many trophies. It has always been stored in a controlled heated/cooled garage. It has an electronic ignition, but I still have the cam driven fuel pump on it.(it works fine). The motor is a 289 Ford taken from a 1968 Mustang, it is bored .40 over, completely rebuilt by a professional. It has a four barrel Eddelbrock carb, 650 cfm, (4 barrel Holley carb available if preferred.) The C4 transmission was professionally overhauled. Disk brakes all around. The body is all metal with the exception of the firewall. I installed a fiberglass firewall for heat protection. Doors: metal has slight imperfections as seen in picture.
Steering: GM tilt with elect. plug in (ididit) 32 in. long, no shifter. 1965 wood inlaid mustang steering wheel. Rear end: 8 in. with new rack & pinion 3.25/1 gear. Front end: Mustang II. Coil over support, (rear shock adjustment). Magnum 500 wheels, front is 14 x 6, and rear is 15 x 8. Auto shifter: 1968 Mustand w/o consule. Bucket seats with seat belts.

Google's new Android Autos OS unveiled, will be in cars this year [w/video]
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Connected cars are coming en-masse. We know this much. How, though, remains something of an open question, especially as two of the world's largest tech companies are preparing to battle for control of your car's dashboard. On the one hand, we have Apple and its CarPlay system. And now, we know what Google has been working on with Auto Link.
Its new name is Android Auto, and yes, it's based off the Android architecture that is the primary challenger to Apple's iOS mobile operating system. Announced at Google's I/O conference today, Android Auto functions similarly to CarPlay - owners will need to plug their smartphones into their cars to access the full breadth of capability.
In Android Auto's case, that means a wealth of voice controls to limit distracted driving. Google's marquee apps will be available when the interface arrives in production models later this year, including Google Play Music, Google Maps and voice-activated texting and text playback. Meanwhile, developers will be able to begin designing custom apps for the new system via an upcoming software development kit.
Ford adds third shift at F-150 plant to keep up with demand
Tue, 06 Aug 2013The signs have been very positive for Ford's F-Series line of pickup trucks as of late, and after 24 consecutive months of increasing sales of the best-selling F-150, the automaker has added a third production crew at its Kansas City Assembly Plant that includes 900 new hourly workers to meet demand for the truck. This the first step in Ford's plan to add 2,000 hourly jobs at the plant to help meet demand for its trucks and to begin production of the new Transit van, the automaker says.
Despite some tough new competition, sales of the F-Series are the strongest they've been since 2006, according to Ford. The automaker sold 60,449 F-Series in July, the best sales figure for the mid-summer month since 2006, which also represents a 23 percent increase compared to July 2012. From January to July 2013, sales were up 22 percent compared to the same period last year.
Ford has committed to creating 12,000 hourly jobs by 2015, and with the 900 new employees added to the assembly plant in Missouri, the company says it has completed 75 percent of its goal. Ford has also invested $1.1 billion to retool and expand the Kansas City Assembly Plant to ready it for Transit production. Take a look at the press release below for more job and F-Series sales information.
Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books
Fri, 08 Aug 2014The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.
