This 1926 Model T Coupe is "parade ready" and is reluctantly being offered for sale by its owner.  I am helping a friend who is approaching 80 years old and for health reasons has reached that dreaded time of life where he must dispose of his cars because he is moving into a retirement home.  He has owned this Model T for 42 years (bought it in 1972) and he estimates that during his 42 years of ownership he has driven it a total of maybe 1,000 miles puttering around the block with his grandkids or driving in a parade.  

He indicates that he bought it from a man who owned it for two years who said he bought it from the original owner which makes him the third owner - YOU CAN BE THE FOURTH OWNER!!!  The car has never been disassembled for restoration, but rather had a body-on paint job in 1981 which still shines and a fresh interior was installed by a professional upholsterer.  With just a little bit of elbow grease, some wet sanding and some polishing compound, the paint should shine like a new dime!

The engine is the original engine which recently had a professional rebuild with all new babbitt by Ross Lilleker of Lilleker Antique Auto Restorations in College Station Texas at a cost of over $4,000 (we have all the receipts for work done) and since the engine was installed in the car it has probably not been driven over five miles!!!

If you've always wanted a nice Model T Coupe, here's a good one that no one messed up trying to take apart and restore.

* The "Balloon Cord" tires were bought from Snyders Antique Auto Parts and probably have less than 15 miles on them since new.
* It has a new Exide battery installed in the last 3 weeks at a cost of $125.
* It has an electric starter however it comes with the original hand crank should the need ever arise or if you want to impress your friends and show them how it was "done in the good old days".
* The car has always been stored in an insulated garage and has been "pampered" its whole life.
* The car comes complete with a new reproduction sunvisor which was bought from Snyders Antique Auto but never installed.
* Comes with copy of 300 page Model T Ford Service Manual.

The car was purchased in Kansas in 1972 and still has a clear Kansas title even though the current owner has lived in Texas for many years.  "Whizz" was the owner's nickname and the personalized Kansas Plate "WHIZZ" is an antique plate which is good for life.  

We are starting the bidding at $6,000 with NO RESERVE - the high bidder gets it!!!  Don't let this chance of a lifetime pass you by.  The winning bidder must deposit $1000 via Pay Pal within 48 hours of the end of the auction and the balance either in cash or certified funds will be due when the car is picked up in Georgetown, Texas.  Georgetown is 25 miles north of Austin on Interstate 35.  It is the buyer's responsibility to arrange shipment if not picked up in person.

If you are one of those "last 60 second bidders" be sure to add it to your WATCH LIST for next Sunday night so you won't forget - it would be difficult to find a nicer Model T Coupe than this one.  Good luck - feel free to ask any questions and I will get you an answer.  It is offered locally as well so we reserve the right to end the auction early should a local buyer make us an offer we can't refuse.

Bring back the Bronco! Trademarks we hope are actually (someday) future car names

Tue, Mar 17 2015

Trademark filings are the tea leaves of the auto industry. Read them carefully – and interpret them correctly – and you might be previewing an automaker's future product plans. Yes, they're routinely filed to maintain the rights to an iconic name. And sometimes they're only for toys and clothing. But not always. Sometimes, the truth is right in front of us. The trademark is required because a company actually wants to use the name on a new car. With that in mind, here's a list of intriguing trademark filings we want to see go from paperwork to production reality. Trademark: Bronco Company: Ford Previous Use: The Bronco was a long-running SUV that lived from 1966-1996. It's one of America's original SUVs and was responsible for the increased popularity of the segment. Still, it's best known as O.J. Simpson's would-be getaway car. We think: The Bronco was an icon. Everyone seems to want a Wrangler-fighter – Ford used to have a good one. Enough time has passed that the O.J. police chase isn't the immediate image conjured by the Bronco anymore. Even if we're doing a wish list in no particular order, the Bronco still finds its way to the top. For now (unfortunately), it's just federal paperwork. Rumors on this one can get especially heated. The official word from a Ford spokesman is: "Companies renew trademark filings to maintain ownership and control of the mark, even if it is not currently used. Ford values the iconic Bronco name and history." Trademarks: Aviator, AV8R Company: Ford Previous Use: The Aviator was one of the shortest-run Lincolns ever, lasting for the 2003-2005 model years. It never found the sales success of the Ford Explorer, with which it shared a platform. We Think: The Aviator name no longer fits with Lincoln's naming nomenclature. Too bad, it's better than any other name Lincoln currently uses, save for its former big brother, the Navigator. Perhaps we're barking up the wrong tree, though. Ford has made several customized, aviation themed-Mustangs in the past, including one called the Mustang AV8R in 2008, which had cues from the US Air Force's F-22 Raptor fighter jet. It sold for $500,000 at auction, and the glass roof – which is reminiscent of a fighter jet cockpit – helped Ford popularize the feature. Trademark: EcoBeast Company: Ford Previous Use: None by major carmakers.
