Vintage, 1952 Ford F - 1 Truck, Oh, if she could talk!.... this Gal has had a great life, so far! Yeah she's 61 years young, no body work other than what was done at the factory back in the day with lead, but with a very good paint job and both a rebuilt for "unleaded fuel", stock 239 CU. flat-head V-8 110 HP and the upgraded, rebuilt, mercury 3 speed manual (as mentioned w/ the solenoid overdrive), also added was/is power steering, she rides down the road a bit faster than the standard transmission that came with it back in '52, so she just purrs down the highway, (must mention that the trans mounting did require some fabricated modification),
( excellent workmanship! ) looks like it's meant to be the way it is.
I was honored to be allowed to drive this wonderful machine, she's just as smooth as can be, clutching to the next gear is smooth and actually so is the ride. (considering the fact that it's a truck)
(though in truth I only took her up to about 45 mph or so, in respect to the ol' gal, as well for my neighbor allowing me to drive her)!
Wow!... so cool! They just don't make anything these days to compare! Heck the metal alone could probably make 10 cars!
Back to the details; my neighbor Jim, is only selling this beaut' so that he can surprise his long loved & wed wife, with a special anniversary present, that she would not even expect! (it's well that her heart is strong!) (kudos, to him and their marriage!) she's been stored (the truck) during the winters in the garage within a moisture guard enclosure and in the summers garaged when not being shown or driven, as can be seen in the pictures both topside and undercarriage is in great shape! with just a bit of rust under her (see photos') but all in all very clean! Rebuilt in 2002, she's seen many shows and won her many well deserved trophies!
(Jim's a stickler when it comes to keeping all his vehicles, nicely detailed (he is meticulous!) in all areas including; maintenance of wheel bearings, hinges, ball joints, oil changes etc... you name it, it's cared for, whether needed or not! Hardly a day goes by, that he's not performing maintenance, or polishing his car(s)(including a mint condition '55 Packard Clipper) or this truck, tires in good shape, runs great, looks great, you can't ask for more, but wait, there is more, miles?
How about less than 12,ooo + - miles since the rebuild !!!
(speedometer out for a short bit of time,...no biggie!) since she was re-built! Plenty of high end offers over the years, but never did he consider selling until now, with their anniversary upcoming, ... (No he's not thrilled with letting her go, but, his wife takes precedence!)
(as it should be!...Donna is such a kind hearted and giving lady) (I wish I had the $$$doe! I'd gladly pay him his very fair price!)
Please by all means... ?s' are welcome!!! ... Last, but (by far) not least, words,
... you might be able to find as nice as her, in a museum somewhere!

How and why Ford is rolling out Vignale in Europe
Wed, 09 Oct 2013
We know that Ford is positioning the new, upscale Vignale brand in Europe to fill a niche market of customers who want a bit more luxury, a lot more service and the same reliability and dependability that a non-Vignale Ford offers. But so far, we've been in the dark regarding how the Blue Oval will sell Vignale vehicles, how many of them will be created, and what the new sub-brand has in store for the future.
Gaetano Thorel, Ford's European marketing head, recently was interviewed by Automotive News and shared details about Ford Vignale. Thorel says, "The Vignale trim line will be priced like an ST model but attract a completely different type of customer." Specifically, he says it will attract customers in the upper 15 percent of the price band who don't want a performance-oriented ST model. He adds that Vignale cars will be about 10 percent more expensive than Titanium-trim cars. About 500 of Ford's European dealers will sell Vignale Fords, Thorel says, "in areas that make sense." The automaker expects 10 percent of its European sales to be Vignale cars, which equates to about 5 percent of its global sales. When asked if there are any other Vignale models planned beyond the Mondeo, Thorel said, "There is nothing written in stone yet."
Ford Transit Skyliner Concept is a Gulfstream for the road
Sat, 12 Apr 2014If you are afraid to fly or just want to arrive at your ultimate destination in absolute comfort, then the Ford Transit Skyliner concept might be the perfect vehicle for you. Built by Galpin Auto Sports and based on a 2015 Transit, the van is basically a private jet on wheels. It even has a touch of Transformers about it with the ability to switch between four modes by pressing a button in a smartphone app.
Based on the long wheelbase, high-roof model with 487 cubic feet of cargo space and 6 feet, 9.5 inches of interior height, the Skyliner has movable captains chairs that shift around among four modes. In theater mode, the seats turn and recline to face a 52-inch retractable movie screen with 7.2 surround sound. For business, a motorized table unfolds, and the chairs gather around it. There is a mode for tailgating where the door opens four-feet wide, and, when traveling, passengers can recline back with footrests that extend for maximum comfort.
To make the ride even plusher, there is a satellite and media server to meet your entertainment needs, and there is even a built-in bar in the back. If this Ford had a bathroom, you could live in it. Of course, you would need to hire a driver to enjoy all the amenities in the back.
Ford shows off V8-powered Ranger headed to Dakar Rally
Tue, 30 Jul 2013Avert your eyes now if you're jealous that the global version of the Ford Ranger is not offered in the US. Ford's midsize pickup is being tuned up to take on the 2014 Dakar Rally, and the result is a truck that is probably even cooler than any F-150 SVT Raptor we've ever seen in the States. Ford is actually building two versions of the truck for Dakar, which will run from January 5 through January 18, covering more than 5,000 miles from Argentina to Chile.
Starting with a fully composite body and a 5.0-liter V8 plucked from a Mustang, nearly every aspect of the trucks have been purpose built to take on the grueling race. This includes things like the six-speed sequential gearbox, liquid-cooled rear brakes and the 132-gallon fuel tank. As proof that Dakar is more about endurance than speed, the engines used in these race trucks will be limited to around 350 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, and will max out at a top speed of just 105 miles per hour. Scroll down for Ford's official press release offering more information about the trucks and teams being prepped for Dakar.
