1929 Ford Model A 4 Door Town Sedan on 2040-cars
Worth, Missouri, United States
1929 Model A 4 Door Town Sedan. While looking for a hot rod project, I ran across this Model A in January of 2008. The car was in a "Barn" where it had been parked since the owners passing. I purchased the car from his 88 year old Widow. Since the car was so complete I didn't have the heart to do anything but restore it. A local Model A/T enthusiast helped me get it running. I had trouble with it overheating, I had the head checked, installed a new head gasket, installed a new water pump that looks original without the need to adjust packing, still having problems, I ordered a new replacement radiator from "Snyder's"... PROBLEM SOLVED! I then proceeded to "Juice" the brakes where I ran all over the country side to swap meets finding the parts so I could maintain its original integrity. I have only made mechanical upgrades/improvements. With the exception of the wheels (which were orange) the interior and exterior is how I found the car. It is not a perfect show car, but is a fun show and parade car that I have driven (not hauled) as far as 150 miles to show or just to drive. I drove it approximately 80 miles on May 4th, 2014. It has a couple of mouse holes in the passenger front seat as shown. Paint has a few chips. It might puff a little smoke on a long hard uphill pull, All and all a pretty good old car. Young and old alike love to see and hear you drive by! Any Questions call 660-448-2708. $500.00 down payment. Buyer responsible for shipping. 85 Year Old Car AS IS.

Ford Recalls '13 Escape For 11th Time
Fri, Aug 15 2014Only in dealer showrooms for two years now, the 2013 Ford Escape has already been recalled for safety hazards 11 times. The most recent recall for the beleaguered vehicle came Friday, when the company announced it was recalling almost 160,000 Escapes and Focus ST hatchbacks from the '13 and '14 model years because of a wiring problem that could cause the engine to stall.

Customers affected will be notified by mail. It was the latest problem for a vehicle beset by recalls from the moment it started rolling off the assembly lines. Starting on July 6, 2012, the '13 Escapes have been recalled for an assortment of problems, including multiple hazards with fuel lines that could result in engine fires, fluid leaks in the engine that could also result in fires, problems with engines overheating, delays in airbags deploying and more.

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.
