A real popular car to either restore, hot rod or just drive the way it is. This is what a lot of people are looking for. A numbers-matching, running and driving, easy to get parts for, 85-year old car. I bought this a couple of years ago from an estate of a Model T collector. It was the odd-ball in his collection. I put a new 6-volt battery in it and drove it home with not one problem. Since then, I have started another project car which requires money and space.

This car is very solid. Odometer showing 17,866 miles. No rust out areas. All glass and wood are very good. Tires are not worn or weathered. Brakes are good. Starts easily. Does not smoke. Has accessory Autolite heater and spare tire cover. Grill shell is reproduction stainless. Headlights are also stainless with sealed beams. All lights work. Windshield tilts as it should. Radiator and water pump do not leak. Top is fairly new. Transmission shifts well. A real fun car to drive. Lots of smiles from everyone.

On the negative side, it does need a paint job and interior cloth. The cloth can be ordered as a kit and not too hard to install. All mechanical/metal parts are intact inside, including window trim and seat springs. The front seats are padded and covered, but are not original material. Restoration would be easy while still having a driving car.

Can help with loading. Car is locally advertised, so I reserve the right to end auction early. Will require a $500.00 deposit, 5-business days after sale. Balance due before car leaves. Can hold in storage for short time. Buyer responsible for shipping.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.

Ford-sponsored survey says a third of Brits have snapped a 'selfie' while driving [w/videos]

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

Talking on the phone while driving isn't advisable, and texting while driving is downright dangerous. Considering those truths, the fact that we even need to point this out this is incredibly disturbing: taking "selfies" while behind the wheel is exceptionally stupid. But, it's a thing that a third of 18- to 24-year-old British drivers have copped to doing, according to a new study from Ford.
Ford, through its Driving Skills for Life program, surveyed 7,000 smartphone owners from across Europe, all aged between 18 and 24, and found that young British drivers were more likely to snap a selfie while behind the wheel than their counterparts in Germany, France, Romania, Italy, Spain and Belgium.
According to the study, the average selfie takes 14 seconds, which, while traveling at 60 miles per hour, is long enough to travel over the length of nearly four football fields (the Ford study uses soccer fields, but we translated it to football, because, you know, America). That's an extremely dangerous distance to not be focused on the road.

The history and future of the Ford Bronco

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

Some have suggested that the Bronco's demise was hastened by the fallout from the O.J. trial.
Twenty years ago today, ex-NFL linebacker Al "A.C." Cowlings drove his friend and onetime running back Orenthal James "O.J." Simpson on a parade lap of the Los Angeles highway system and onto an ignoble page of the history books. If you're in your late 20s or older, or a fastidious young student of 1990s American history, you're absolutely aware that Al and O.J.'s steed for the 'chase' was a white Ford Bronco. The white Ford Bronco, even.
