 Up for auction is a real nice example of a late 31 Ford Model A rumble seat coupe with the indented firewall.

I bought the car from a widow who said it was her husbands main obsession and play thing for the last few years.

It was bought as an old restoration that he was improving upon.  I loosened the inner panels for inspection and it looks to be extremely solid with the only repairs I could find was in the bottom of the front cowl, that was fixed very nicely with metal or lead, nothing else was found. 

At some point the car was treated to a frame off, as everything on the undercarriage looks to be rebuilt and detail painted.  And a plus is the fact it has been converted to hydraulic brakes that appear to be 46-48 vintage.  It has a new battery, 15 inch ford steelies with rings and caps and Firestone tires.

The interior is an older redo possibly a Labarron Bonney that is still in nice condition. It has good glass that appears to have a 60's greenish tint.

The car has nice bumpers and some of the nicest fenders I have ever seen on one of these.

I fired the car up in the shop and it seems to run fine, but with us being in the dead of winter I did no more than drive it around the yard.

I think it would be cool as can be with a flathead eight in it, but that's just me.

So if you are looking for a nice solid, straight model A coupe that has a great look already, here you go.  Good Luck

If you have any questions I can be reached at 507-456-2957.

P.S. The car has a clear 31 Ford Title.

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.

2015 Ford F-150 claims segment's best payload, towing ratings

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

While we are set to drive the new, 2015 Ford F-150 in the coming days, there's a big piece of news on the latest-generation of the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter pickup coming out of Dearborn, and it focuses on the truck's hauling and towing abilities.
The new F-150 will have a maximum payload of 3,300-pounds (V8 models), and, perhaps more importantly, a 12,200-pound tow rating (EcoBoost V6 models), which for the first time are compliant with the Society of Automotive Engineer's J2807 standards. Those best-in-class figures are significant feathers in Ford's cap as the Detroit Three continue duking it out for the title of top pickup.
"As founding members of the SAE trailer towing committee, we will meet SAE trailer towing standards," Ford's Aaron Miller told Autoblog.

Last 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible nets $500k for charity at Barrett-Jackson [w/video]

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

The last 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible was sold on Saturday at a Barrett-Jackson auction in Reno, Nevada, for $500,000. Ford donated the Mustang to be auctioned for charity, and all of the money is going to the Brain Injury Association of America.
Parnelli Jones, winner of the 1963 Indianapolis 500, was there on behalf of the BIAA with his son Page, who suffered a brain injury in a sprint car crash in 1994. The bidding increased quickly, reaching $500k in no time, spreading a bit more hope to people who live with brain injuries.
The winning bidder will be able to choose the GT500's exterior, interior and stripe colors, and is scheduled to receive the car, signed by Parnelli Jones in appreciation for the donation, by the end of 2013. Watch the video below to see the auction-block action.
