1910 Ford Model T Tourabout Aaca Nat'l First on 2040-cars
Mahwah, New Jersey, United States
1910 Ford Model T Tourabout. Well preserved older restoration, AACA Natrional First Prize Winner. This car is very authentic with most original parts, not a reconstructed vehicle. It has the following original correct parts: open valve engine, one piece pan, square hole transmission cover, 6 rivet rear, one piece spindles with wide track axles front and rear, wheels, coil box, hood former, Stewart speedometer with drive, Rands windshield, E&J 466 headlights with burners and excellent mirrors, E&J 3 tier sidelights ( may be incorrect), E&J taillight, Rubes horn, and more. The windshield and sidelight brackets are correct brass plated steel. Part of the arrow is still visible on the mixture knob. The carburetor is incorrect. It is an older restoration but the paint is still presentable, some cracking due to age and the wooden body. The body itself is original, see picture of back and front cushion frame. The leather upholstery is in excellent condition. The top is good and is lined. There are no side curtains. The car runs good, even on mag. The individual who found and restored this car registered it as a 1909. In order to do this he ground off the 1 on the engine serial number (pretty obvious looking at the picture of the engine) making it a 1909, ser# 6361, when in fact it should be a 1910 ser# 16361 (an easy fix). Checking with the Ford archives substantiates the fact that this is indeed a 1910. The shipping department records describe #16361 as a tourabout with 60" southern track axles, Rands WS, Stewart speedometer etc. This car was assembled on 2/23/10 and shipped to F. M. Co. in Houston TX on Feb 26, 1910. I have copies of the original Ford manufacturing department records, supplied by the Ford archives. The car is presently located in northern New Jersey near various interstates and about 20 miles from NYC. Please contact me via eBay or call me at 201 327 7621 for any questions or further pictures, also to make an appointment to see and drive the car. Low reserve! |

Ford reveals automated Fusion Hybrid
Thu, 12 Dec 2013Autonomous cars may still be in their infancy, but more and more big names in the auto industry are diving in head first. Nissan is already making strides with a semi-autonomous Leaf EV and General Motors is planning to offer semi-autonomous tech by 2020. And then there's Google, doing its thing with a fleet of Toyota Prius. Now, Ford is showing off its latest automated effort, a driverless Fusion Hybrid.
Partnering with the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) and State Farm Insurance, the project is part of Ford's Blueprint for Mobility, the company's plan for transportation beyond 2025. "The Ford Fusion Hybrid automated vehicle represents a vital step toward our vision for the future of mobility," Chairman Bill Ford said. "We see a future of connected cars that communicate with each other and the world around them to make driving safer, ease traffic congestion and sustain the environment."
The automated Fusion features four LiDAR infrared sensors that scan the road 2.5 million times every second, using a principle similar to the echolocation used by dolphins or bats. Using the infrared light emitted by the LiDAR, the car can draw a picture of everything within 200 feet to create a map of its surroundings. According to Ford, the sensors are able to tell the difference between a paper bag and a small animal from a football field away.
Ford ditching Microsoft in favor of BlackBerry QNX for next-gen Sync?
Mon, 24 Feb 2014Ask the average consumer - at least, those who follow the goings-on in the automotive industry - which carmaker they'd most closely associate Microsoft, and the answer you'd most likely get would be Ford. The Blue Oval automaker, after all, was at the forefront of bringing Microsoft technology into cars with its pioneering Sync system, and, though reality didn't turn out as such, Ford's CEO was recently touted as a potential future head of the Redmond-based software giant. But that relationship, according to the latest reports, could be coming to an end.
Alan Mullaly kiboshed the idea of leaving Dearborn for Redmond, but more importantly Ford is tipped to be ditching Microsoft in developing its next-generation Sync system. In its place, Ford is expected to partner with BlackBerry's QNX division.
Now, before you go balking "BlackBerry?! But they're finished!" consider that QNX is (or at least was) an independent entity that Research In Motion (as BlackBerry's Ontario-based parent company was then known) just happened to have bought back in 2010. QNX provides control systems to everything from nuclear power plants and UAVs to automakers like Audi, BMW and Porsche.
2015 Ford F-Series Super Duty is class-leading once again
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Time for everyone to feign surprise - Ford has just announced that it has the increased horsepower and torque levels of its 6.7-liter Power Stroke turbodiesel V8 engine for 2015. As you'd expect, the Blue Oval is claiming class-leading figures of 440 hp (up from 400) and 860 pound-feet (up from 800), and that's enough to enable Ford's F-450 Super Duty model to tow as much as 31,200 pounds, which, again, the automaker claims is class leading.
Now, it should be noted that the max rating quoted above is achieved with the Ford F-450. The 2015 F-350, which is perhaps a better comparison to the Ram 3500 HD pickup that claimed the towing crown in 2013 at an even 30,000 pounds, is capped at 26,500 pounds, either with a gooseneck or when towing a fifth-wheel trailer. In any case, it's going to take a load the size of Godzilla to make any of the current crop of fullsize heavy-duty pickup trucks break into a sweat. For those keeping track, Chevy rates its 2015 Silverado HD at a maximum of 23,200 pounds.
Ford's newfound pulling power comes courtesy of a larger turbocharger for its in-house Power Stroke engine, new fuel injector tips and, we'd assume, retuned computer controls. Besides the engine enhancements, the F-350 gets a wider front track for 2015 and new front springs, while the F-450 gains commercial-grade 19.5-inch wheels and tires, new rear U-joints, leaf springs, stabilizer bars and shocks. The steering and brake systems have also been upgraded.
