Museum Car: 1928 Ford Model A Rumbleseat Roadster

Ford released the Model A in a time where all of the working class was in search of a very reliable mode of transportation to get to and from work. Recognizing the opportunities that were there Henry Ford created the Model A to accommodate their needs. He created, in my opinion, the easiest car in the world to maintain, find parts for, self-service, and customize. When people noticed these features bundled into one fine automobile they jumped in and increased the demand for Ford to produce these cars. At the time that The Model A came out the car was a fairly new piece of machinery to the world and to people’s garages. The world had not yet invented businesses such as quick lube that had the means to help you with the maintenance and repair work of your car. No, Ford sent all of his cars home from the factory with a service manual and made it possible for the individual owner to create a bond with their car that would impact history to an immeasurable degree. Out of this spawned race cars, gear heads, motor specialists, and car enthusiasts that make up this wonderful, community based, hobby of cars.

This example of Ford’s 1928 Model A has been in a humidity controlled museum of convertibles for the last several years. It is a solid car with a good drive train and hydraulic brakes. This is a good car with a strong engine. The paint is in fairly good condition; however it is cracking in places. We have enjoyed owning this car. The wind deflectors that attach to the windshield are in the trunk because one of the brackets needs replaced. Furthermore, this car is not offered with a top. We purchased this car without the top. It is such a fun Sunday driver that we have never wanted a top on the car, as we do not get this car out in the rain. The only thing that a new owner would want to do to make this car roadworthy would be rebuilding the starter.

Before I list anything on eBay I like to get it out on the road and test it to insure that nobody will be paying for buyers remorse. This car has been on the road several times throughout our ownership, but when I went to start this car and get it out of the museum the starter seemed extremely weak. I cranked it the first time and it was struggling to turn the engine over right towards the end the engine made the noise like it was getting ready to fire. I turned the key off and pumped the gas again and adjusted the choke. When I turned the key again all was silent. There was no clicking, pecking or grinding noise. It was simply working one time and not the next. When I was trying to start it I knew that it had a weak starter and tried my best to be extra careful not to mess it up, however there is not much a person can do to be easy on a starter other than avoiding holding the key in the start position for an extended amount of time. I am the one that got the last crank out of this starter. If this car finds new ownership, I will see to it that there is a new battery installed. I can possibly lend some assistance with the started. The best thing about Ford’s Model A is that parts can be found easily for them. All cars have their own personalities; I believe that, all quirks aside, ownership of this car will be pleasurable for whoever it may be. It would be my pleasure to show the car in person. If you would like to see the car in person, or would like more information or pictures, I encourage you to contact me by phone, text, or Email. I will consider any offers that are made. Thank you for your interest in this fine automobile.

Ford Fusion production scaled back just 3 months after it was accelerated

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

Three months after kicking off production of the Ford Fusion at its Flat Rock, MI factory, Ford Motor Company is taking steps to trim output in the face of heavily discounted competition from Toyota and a growing supply of vehicles.
The addition of Fusion production in Flat Rock - which also builds the Mustang - was meant to be what pushed the handsome mid-sizer past its arch-nemesis, the Toyota Camry. An extra facility building Fusions was also meant to curb the growing demand for Ford's highly profitable sedan.
But with word that Flat Rock would take "approximately" one extra week off for the holidays combined with an 88-day supply of Fusions - reportedly due in no small part to what Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas called "aggressive discounting of the Camry" - some analysts are now beginning to wonder if Ford may have overextended itself by adding a second Fusion facility to the mix.

More than 800,000 Fords recalled for faulty Takata airbags

Thu, Jan 12 2017

The Basics: Ford is recalling about 816,000 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles built in the US for faulty passenger-side Takata airbags. The affected vehicles were all built in North America, with 654,695 recalled vehicles in the US and 161,174 vehicles in Canada. A wide variety of cars, trucks, and SUVs are affected. This is a planned expansion of an earlier recall. 2005-09 and 2012 Ford Mustang 2005-06 Ford GT 2006-09 and 2012 Ford Fusion 2007-09 Ford Ranger 2007-09 Ford Edge 2006-09 and 2012 Lincoln Zephyr and Lincoln MKZ 2007-09 Lincoln MKX 2006-09 Mercury Milan The Problem: Like every other Takata recall, the problem rests with faulty airbags that can potentially expel shrapnel, injuring or killing vehicle occupants. Millions of vehicles from dozens of automakers are affected, so don't think that Ford is alone on this one. Injuries/Deaths: Ford stated in a press release that there have been no injuries or death linked to the vehicles in this recall. All in all, 11 deaths and 180 injuries across a variety of automakers have been linked to these Takata airbags. The fix: Ford will contact owners soon, and the affected vehicles will have their airbags replaced by a dealer at no additional charge. If you own one: Wait for contact from Ford, then head to the dealer to get a replacement. If you're wondering if your vehicle is affected, go to this Ford website and enter their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The recall reference number is 17S01.

Shelby GT350 Mustang limited to 137 units for 2015 model year

Tue, Apr 28 2015

Interest in the 2015 Ford Shelby GT350 and GT350R Mustangs is already at a fever pitch, thanks performance goodies like a flat-plane-crank V8 and MagneRide dampers. Ford is ensuring demand stays stratospheric through at least the first half of the year, too, by keeping production of these muscular coupes very limited. In fact, just 137 of them in total are leaving the factory for the 2015 model year. As a way to commemorate the Shelby Mustang's 50th anniversary as a performance powerhouse, Ford is building just 37 examples of the 2015 GT350R. This is also a way to pay homage to Carroll Shelby. In 1965, the racing genius originally planned to build 35 GT350 production models, plus two prototypes. However, documents indicate only 34 of the ones meant for customers ever left the workshop. Now, he has gotten his wish. There are also 100 examples of the standard 2015 GT350 on the way. Of those, 50 get the Technology Package that includes things like MagneRide, a navigation system with Sync 3, and dual-zone climate control. The other 50 get the Track Package that has added cooling for the engine, transmission and differential, a strut tower brace, and the high-tech, magnetic dampers. Bear in mind, this limited output is only for the 2015 model year, not the calendar year. For the automotive world, 2016 should start in just a few months and allow for even more Shelby Mustangs to hit the streets.

The original Shelby GT350, introduced in 1965, established Mustang's performance credentials on racetracks around the world. The all-new Shelby GT350, featuring the most powerful naturally aspirated Ford production engine ever, re-establishes Mustang as a world-class sports car. Only 100 Shelby GT350 models will feature a 2015 model year designation before production switches over to 2016. Of these, 50 will be equipped with the Technology Package and 50 equipped with the Track Package.
