NOSTALGIC 1929 FORD ROADSTER PICKUP THAT EVOKES THE EARLIEST DAYS OF RODDING IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DURING THE LATE 1930s AND EARLY POST WAR ERA.

NO SMALL BLOCK CHEVY OR EVEN A FLATHEAD V-8 HERE BUT AN ORIGINAL MODEL A 4 BANGER WITH PERIOD SPEED PARTS INCLUDING A VINTAGE MALLORY DUAL POINT DISTRIBUTOR, VINTAGE THOMAS TWO CARB MANIFOLD AND MATCHING FINNED ALUMINUM HIGH COMPRESSION HEAD, CAST IRON SWEPT-BACK "HEADERS", AND MORE.

CHASSIS AND DRIVETRAIN ARE TOTALLY AND FULLY REBUILT FROM FRONT TO BACK WITH ALL NEW BEARINGS, BUSHINGS, SEALS, SHACKLES, SPRINGS, SPINDLES, NEW BRAKE COMPONENTS INCLUDING SHOES, CYLINDERS, SPRINGS, DRUMS, AND HUBS. FULLY REBUILT ENGINE W/ NEW BABBITT, PISTONS, TIMING GEARS, VALVES, SPRINGS, ETC. NOTHING WAS OVERLOOKED.

BRAKES ARE '48 FORD HYDRAULIC, DROPPED FRONT AXLE. CHASSIS IS "Z"ed AT THE REAR IN THE TIME HONORED WAY. BRAND NEW FIRESTONE WIDE WHITES.

THE ONE CONCESSION MADE TO DRIVING ON MODERN ROADS IS THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ORIGINAL TRANNY WITH A T-5 FIVE SPEED WHICH DOES ABSOLUTE WONDERS TO CRUISING SPEED AND IT LOOKS TOTALLY NORMAL.

THE PICKUP IS PAINTED IN "BATTLESHIP" GRAY SIMILAR TO WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN BOUGHT AT AN ARMY SURPLUS STORE IN THE LATE FORTIES AND THE PAINT WAS APPLIED USING TECHNIQUES DEVELOPED TO GIVE IT A PATINA OF AGE THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DISTINGUISH FROM VERY OLD PAINT. A OLD WORN LEATHER COUCH WAS USED. CAREFULLY REMOVED THE HIDES, AND RE-CYCLED THEM TO UPHOLSTER THE SEATS AND INTERIOR GIVING THE INTERIOR A WARM, MELLOW LOOK AND FEEL.

IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THIS IS THE FUTURE OF RESTORATION, THE CAR WORLD HAVING BEGUN TO GROW TIRED OF THE ULTRA-SLICK, ULTRA-SHINY, OVER-RESTORED TRAILER QUEENS THAT HAVE PROLIFERATED AT CAR SHOWS IN RECENT YEARS. I THINK IT IS TIME TO PUT CARS BACK ON THE STREET AND USE THEM AS THEY WERE USED SO MANY YEARS AGO.

ON THE ROAD, IT IS GREAT FUN, SOUNDS GREAT, AND GOES LIKE A MODEL A ON STEROIDS.

THIS IS NOT JUST ANOTHER FORD ROADSTER PICKUP, IT IS A UNIQUE WORK OF ART THAT WILL NEVER BE REPEATED OR REPRODUCED. FOR MORE INFO PLEASE CALL (505) 681-5296

Ford Fusion demand outstripping supply

Sat, 15 Jun 2013

The attractive new 2013 Ford Fusion has done wonders for the brand in the highly competitive midsize sedan segment - the vehicle is up nearly 22 percent compared to last year. But that sales momentum may soon hold steady due to low inventory levels of the new Fusion across the United States.
According to a report in The Detroit News, citing automotive data and Ward's Auto, Ford currently has a 39-day supply of the Fusion. That might sound fine, but a normally healthy average is about a 60-day supply. If Ford were to stop production on the Fusion today, there would only be enough vehicles available to get through another five weeks of sales, according to the News.
Currently, Ford produces the Fusion at its three-shift assembly plant in Hermosillo, Mexico, and will add production at its facility in Flat Rock, MI later this year. A Ford spokesperson told The Detroit News that when Flat Rock production comes online, the automaker will need to rush new stock out to the regions with the most demand for the Fusion. Ford has doubled its coastal retail market share, with huge amounts of growth in areas like Los Angeles, San Francisco and Miami, the News reports.

2014 Saleen George Follmer Edition Mustang debuts at Lagun Seca

Sat, 17 Aug 2013

Saleen used the occasion of the race-fueled Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca to announce its new Heritage Collection Lineup. The event was punctuated with the debut of the collection's first member, the 2014 Saleen George Follmer Edition Mustang.
Follmer's name will likely sound familiar to fans of American racing in the 1960s and '70s. The driver competed in Formula One with the Shadow team in 1973, ran the Indianapolis 500, was the Can-Am champion in 1972 and drove stock cars in NASCAR's Winston Cup as well. The multi-disciplined driver is now one of three -the other two being Mark Donohue and Swede Savage - with the honor of upcoming, limited edition Saleen-tuned vehicles..

Enterprise working with renter's insurance to cover $47k Mustang stolen from its lot

Sat, 11 Jan 2014

There was more than a bit of public indigence following the recent story of Enterprise Rent-A-Car billing a customer $47,000 to replace a Ford Mustang GT Convertible stolen from a Nova Scotia lot. To recap: Kristen Cockerill rented the Mustang for two days, returned it to the lot on a Sunday and left the keys in a secure dropbox only for Enterprise employees to find the car gone the next day.
Despite Enterprise policies stating that customers are responsible for vehicles dropped on off-days, the company has admitted that the situation could've been handled a bit better.
In a recent statement, Enterprise has backed off the big-bill story, and claims to be working with Cockerill and her insurance company to resolve the issue. Further, the Enterprise general manager overseeing Nova Scotia has spoken with the harried renter, and apologized "for the way this claim was handled during the last few months."
