Rare 1931 Ford Model A400. This is an older restoration, but this car is in pristine condition. The motor has been completely rebuilt, as well as a rebuilt carburetor, starter, distributor and water pump, a brand new 6v alternator, as well as a new OEM wiring harness from front to back. The speedometer and all gauges work. New halogen headlights were installed, and the horn was also rebuilt and sounds great. The car runs cool and the body condition and paint are excellent, the body has no fillers or body work. The chrome is bright and the paint reflects everything in the background. The radiator is perfect and a stainless steel stone guard was installed. The interior is an older restoration but still looks very nice, and the car has brand new LeBarron Bonney wool carpet as original, as well as new aluminum door sills. Also a brand new LeBarron Bonney convertible top was installed. The tires on the car are new tires but they are weather checked and dry. There are five brand new tires that go with the car. The windshield wiper works and the running boards have brand new matting. The car comes with a new motometer on the radiator. The brakes are new and the car stops very well. The emergency brake works great as well. This car can be driven anywhere. The Ford Model A400 is the rarest body style of the Model A's, just over 5,000 were built, and few are still in existence. There is an A400 club online that can provide more information to this unique body style. This car was once in the Harrah Automobile Collection, and I have all the documentation from Harrah. The car has a title. The car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Inspections before purchasing the car are encouraged. The convertible top has a cover to go on when the top is down The car comes with a trunk on the back with a new spare tire .

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
Ex-PR chief Vines accuses Ford of bugging cars, phones
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Jason Vines, former head of communications at Ford among other automakers, is accusing the Blue Oval of bugging his company phone and his car during the Firestone tire recall for the Explorer in 2001. The allegations have come to light in Vines' upcoming book What Did Jesus Drive? Crisis PR in Cars, Computers and Christianity.
According to The Detroit News, which has an advance copy of the book, Vines (pictured above) claims that after leaving the company, someone with security within Ford advised him that he had been bugged around the time of the recall. The allegations don't stop there, though. Vines further contends that he might not have been the only one to get this treatment, noting that then-general counsel John Rintamaki also believed he was being listened to.
According to The Detroit News, even if it had been a company phone, recording Vines without his knowledge still would have been a felony under Michigan law.
The fascinating forgotten civil defense history of Mister Softee trucks
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Hemmings came across an interesting article from the Throwin' Wrenches blog about the intersection of ice cream, cars and civic duty in America's late 1950s. In particular, it focuses on the Mister Softee trucks, which criss-crossed neighborhoods of the eastern US serving ice cream. Looking past the ultra-durable vehicles used - heavy-duty Ford-based chassis, for what it's worth - the article delves into some deeper national-security territory.
See, Mister Softee truck owners were voluntary members of the Civil Defense, thanks to all the useful stuff (potable water, generators, freezers and fridges) that the machines carried with them for serving ice cream. Click over to Throwin' Wrenches for the full run down of how Mister Softee would have stepped in to help fight if the Cold War ever turned a little hotter.
