War time relic. Project.

The flathead V8 is "stuck/heads off ". Original drive parts. Very solid frame for original restore or Hot Rod conversion. Needs total restoration. Some inner side woods are still good. Part of the wood floor is in place for patterns. The bottom lip of the left rear panel door is bent up, so can be bent back into place/welded. All the doors are very solid otherwise.

THIS WILL "NOT" BE RELISTED. A LOCAL TRADE IS PENDING AND THEREFORE NO NEED TO SELL AFTER THIS AUCTION. AN IMMEDIATE PAYMENT IS REQUESTED IF AN EBAY BUYER IS SERIOUS AND MAKES A DECISION, OTHERWISE IT WOULD DELAY THE TRADE. A BUYER "WILL" GET THIS TRUCK; NO WORRIES/30 YEARS IN JACKSONVILLE & I'M NOT LEAVING (& I sit on the honest side of human ideology/ideosynchrocies). This would make a great advertising prop, running or not. Some more sandblasting, paint & logo on sides! No need to be running for that. But, even this old dude could make it a "driver" by spring if I had a designated area to accomplish it. Gas Monkey Garage restaurant prop (no gas smells as it sits). Little bistro table/benches with new hardwood floor for a couple's dining?

On Nov-06-13 at 06:04:14 PST, seller added the following information:

This EBAY listing has a technical "glitch" & won't let me lower the dollar amounts. Therefore, THE NEW "BUY IT NOW" AMOUNT IS: BUY IT NOW: $6100. YES, I WILL DEVULGE THE RESERVE: $5,900. NO FURTHER REDUCTIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED. NO ONE BUYS IT?--------- I TRADE FOR LOCAL 1958 BEL AIR 2 DOOR HARDTOP; NO POST; 283CI

My guess is or every ten 1940 Ford 1/2 ton pick up trucks, there is one 1940 Ford 1/2 ton Panel Delivery truck. And, less original. Either hot rodded or original, it is still a rare animal with its own calling card.

Michigan museum offers Model T driving classes

Sun, 29 Dec 2013

Halfway between Detroit and Chicago, there is a car museum that gives visitors a unique level of interaction with antique cars. The Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, MI has a driver's training class to teach people of any age to learn how to drive a Ford Model T.
From the crank starter to the column-mounted throttle control, this driving school teaches people all there is to know about driving and operating a Model T. Each class lasts about two and a half hours and is only open to 18 students. There are ten sessions planned for 2014 - twice a day on May 3, June 22, July 22, August 23 and September 14. The class costs $95 (or $85 for members), and it also includes a tour of the museum's automobile collection.
In addition to this driving school, the museum has plenty of exhibits on the property, and it's open all but three days per year (Easter, Christmas and New Year's Day) with free admission for school field trips and active military. Be sure to check out the Gilmore Car Museum's website or visit them on Facebook for more info.

Ford C-Max spot aimed squarely at Cadillac ELR 'Poolside' hubris [UPDATE]

Thu, Mar 27 2014

If we had tried to predict the first video response to the controversial Poolside video for the Cadillac ELR, we would not have thought it would center on compost. But, hey, it's always nice to be reminded that the real world is sometimes better than fiction. Instead of the chic swagger of 'Poolside,' 'Anything Is Possible' is all about getting dirty. The new short in question is called Upside: Anything Is Possible and it promotes two things: Detroit Dirt and the Ford C-Max Energi. As in the ELR ad, Ford's plug-in C-Max only makes an appearance at the tail end of the spot, but instead of the chic swagger of Poolside, Anything Is Possible is all about getting dirty. The ad stars Pashon Murray, co-founder of Detroit Dirt, which takes natural waste from around Detroit, composts it into soil and then spreads that around "forgotten parcels" of Detroit to create urban farms. Detroit Dirt gets its bio-waste from a lot of sources, including the Detroit Zoological Society (all that herbivore manure has to go somewhere), Ford and General Motors, but this particular ad was the idea of Ford's PR agency, Team Detroit. It was a frenetic shoot, filmed with an LA-based director right after a big winter storm blew through Detroit, and Murray couldn't be happier with the result. "This was Ford Motor Company pushing my story, letting me tell the story that I believe in," Murray tells AutoblogGreen. "I get to help push this car and I get to tell my story." She says that the Team Detroit and Ford had to agree on the message, "from my understanding, [YouTube] is where they wanted to start, not where they wanted to finish." The ad is already getting a positive response on Twitter, so we won't be surprised if it shows up in more places soon. "It's not saying Ford is better than GM. It's telling the story of a black woman who's working hard in Detroit." As Detroit Dirt has off-screen support from both GM and Ford, it's unsurprising to hear Murray say that the video "is not a rivalry thing." She notes that the ad agency Team Detroit came to her and offered to tell the Detroit Dirt story using the framework of the GM ad. "It's a parody on this commercial, but it's not saying Ford is better than GM," she said. "It's telling the story of a black woman who's working hard in Detroit." What is that story? It's about urban farming, recovery and recycling. Murray tells us that for the last seven or eight years, she's been dedicated to sustainability.

Mulally to stay at Ford through end of 2014 at least

Fri, 06 Dec 2013

Alan Mulally isn't going anywhere... at least not just yet. The CEO who helped turn around Ford Motor Company has been linked to the top job at tech behemoth Microsoft, leading to a flurry of rumors about potential successors. Those rumors, though, may have just been put to rest - at least for a little while.
Speaking to Edsel Ford II (great-grandson of company founder Henry Ford) at the unveiling of the new Mustang, Automotive News Europe confirmed that Mulally would stick around until the end of next year. "Alan is staying through the end of 2014 and that's all I know," said Ford. "Frankly, he has told us that his plan is to stay with Ford through the end of 2014."
Presuming that Edsel Ford is correct and that Microsoft isn't so hot on Mulally that it saves the position for him, it seems increasingly likely that the 68-year-old exec is more interested in continuing to work in Dearborn rather than in Redmond.
