Up for auction is a fresh nostalgic built, 1927 Ford Roadster Pickup. This Little Roadster is ready for the Books. Just finished in Ford's Washington Blue, with a little of the old, and a little of the new. A Ford Model T frame is the base of this Roadster, with 1941 Ford running gear front, and rear. Model A steering column, and box steer the car down the road. The front end has been extended in front of the spring to give it a longer, and more hot rod look. Old style friction shocks were also used for that traditional look. Modern coil over shocks support the car, from the Banjo rear end, with shortened torque tube, and struts. All new juice brakes, with 40 Ford pedal assembly has been adapted to the frame, so stock style clutch could also be used. The fresh Rohde built, 1951 Flathead, with stainless valves, adjustable lifters, 60 over bore, Winfield Cam, Eddie Meyers dull Intake, 48 Carbs, Edelbrock aluminum heads, Mallory dual point Distributor, with stainless block huger headers, and custom bell exhaust, makes a good running package. The engine starts easy, and runs strong. No heating problems with this Flathead. It's running a aluminum radiator with stock fan assembly painted to match. The traditional 39 gear box shifts good, and the new clutch is smooth. The original steel Roadster body has been moved back 5" on the frame, and a custom box has been added, giving the car a smoother look. Shorty windshield posts, with custom windshield add to the cool of this car. The inner body tub has been skinned with metal, powder coated to match, and polished Bomber seats top off the interior. (Custom) A set of original Ford 16" wire wheels, Powder Coated in the same Washington Blue, look great. A cool third light center front is a park light. Original model T's lights are up front , and 32 Ford tail lights are on the rear. The cars underside is as clean as the top side, (Nice). (Please look at pictures closely, and zoom in) This car is titled as a 1927 Ford Roadster. Buyer is responsible for shipping and all shipping costs. I will help with loading on my end, and in anyway I can. For questions please call the builder. Bill (208)750-0000

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:

Ford's struggles in China continue as November sales drop 8 percent

Mon, Dec 11 2017

Ford's sales in China fell 8 percent in November from a year ago, following a 5 percent decline in October, the U.S. automaker said on Monday. The firm's sales in the first 11 months of the year totaled 1.06 million vehicles, down 6 percent from the same period a year ago. Ford's China sales growth has lagged behind rivals in the world's top auto market this year, with the carmaker now looking to overhaul its strategy to revive growth in China under new chief executive Jim Hackett. Among other moves, the review of its China operations will likely see Ford focus on segments such as electric cars and electric commercial vans, with China encouraging to help clean up its polluted and congested city centers. Ford is looking to roll out more new-energy vehicles for China and is planning to experiment with a more direct selling approach in a partnership with Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.

'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia

Fri, Jan 16 2015

These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.
