Up for bids is my 1922 Model T Ford "Doctor's" Coupe. If I'm not mistaken it also goes by several other nicknames, "Top Hat Coupe"," High Top Coupe" among others.

After twenty five years of restoring Model A Fords, I wanted to learn more about the "T" and bought a couple of "barn finds" got them running and driving then decided to buy a more reliable Model T. This is the one I chose.

This car has been around the Augusta area for years with a couple of owners who have since passed away. Knowing how nice this driver was, I bought it from the estate of the last owner and have enjoyed it ever since!

Even after the car had been stored for several years, it only needed the gas tank and fuel lines cleaned, a new set of spark plugs, plug wires a new battery and she cranked on the first turn! I also decided to install a fuel shutoff valve and replace the carburetor with a rebuilt Kingston NH from Lang's which made a world of difference. I also replaced the fan belt and water hoses. Now she starts easily every time and runs excellent both on battery and magneto!  All four wooden coils fire strong!

Unfortunately, the transmission bands needed replacing. Luckily I found a new set of Kevlar bands along with some extra parts that came with the car. Once they were installed, the car ran and drove as it did in 1922..... I would assume!

It also stops as well as it runs! Steering is tight. With the new Kevlar brake band  liner and the added optional Rocky Mountain drum brakes there is plenty of brake pedal and it seems to stop as well as my Model A.

Although I have no idea when or by whom the car was restored it is truly a very nice driver.

All of the glass is in excellent condition and the interior looks perfect especially with the beautifully restored steering wheel. Top is in excellent condition with no tears, worn areas or leaks. Do to the age of the restoration, the paint is showing some expected wear, nicks, etc. I have tried to picture most of the problem areas but the car still draws a crowd as is! I always receive many compliments!

Everything works on this "T" with the exception of the , "what appears to be," original speedometer. I would assume it would be operational but the cable and sprocket assembly that attaches to the right front wheel are missing. The formally kerosene cowl lamps have been cleverly altered to accept a socket and bulb and can be lit separately from the headlights. There is also an extra "STOP" light for safety.

I have never seen any leakage from the excellent radiator, engine, or drivetrain. No need to check the oil the old way by turning petcocks! Someone has installed a very helpful dipstick which works great and your hands stay clean!

The wooden spokes are in excellent condition, however, some of the tires are showing some surface cracking. No problem for short local trips but might be a concern for longer tours.

 

As much as I have enjoyed owning this "T" I need to make room for another recent vehicle purchase.

 

I strongly recommend anyone interested in bidding on this vehicle either visit Augusta, GA. or send their representative for inspection. I will be happy to show the car. anytime as long as arrangements are made in advance.

Ford decides C-Max shoppers not interested in fuel economy

Sat, Oct 25 2014

If you say a car – the Ford C-Max Hybrid, for example – is "fun to drive," can anyone really come up with some empirical evidence against your claim? What about calling it "versatile"? We wonder if Ford has been thinking along these lines when it talks about the green little hatch. Ford is refocusing its sales strategy for the C-Max Hybrid after the model took a sales hit on both sides of the Atlantic recently, Automotive News reports. That sales dropoff may stem from the fact that Ford has had to revise its fuel-economy figures downward for the C-Max twice since last year, most recently in June. That made the company's once-proud fuel-economy comparisons with the Toyota Prius kind of pointless. Ford is going a different route, calling the model versatile (which, to be fair it was also doing a year ago), technologically advanced and fun to drive. Since the C-Max has about 50 more horsepower than the Prius, that last part may be true. Ford representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGreen about the mpg-mention-free advertising direction, but we will update this post if we hear back. Sales of the C-Max Hybrid have suffered in the US. Through September, Ford sold 15,245 C-Max Hybrids, down 36 percent from last year. We shall see if a new focus away from the car's lowered mpg numbers helps. At least Ford can be pleased with sales of the C-Max Energi Plug-in Hybrid, which are up 51 percent compared to 2013.

Highlights and standouts from the 2015 LA Auto Show

Thu, Nov 19 2015

This year's LA Auto Show has been packed with interesting debuts and fascinating industry trends. The Autoblog team is on the scene to examine all the new metal, and Senior Editor Greg Migliore has some show highlights for us in the video above. In particular, the new Fiat 124 Spider and Honda Civic Coupe stand out as important debuts. The Fiat is based on the excellent Mazda Miata, with a turbocharged 1.4-liter engine and revised styling. The Civic Coupe is a striking redesign of an extremely popular and important model for the company. And the restyled Ford Escape looks more like its bigger brother, the Explorer. There's this an much more in our video above. Watch it and let us know what you think – and look for more LA Auto Show coverage coming soon.

Lincoln recycling tree fibers into new MKX armrest

Thu, Feb 27 2014

Want to hug a tree, or at least a really small part of one. Then set your arm down on one of those armrests in the 2014 Lincoln MKX crossover. The US automaker is working with Weyerhaeuser and Johnson Controls on a tree-based, cellulose-reinforced polypropylene material used in the component that connects the armrest to the floor console, Wards Auto says. With properties similar to plastic, the tree-based material replaces fiberglass and is about six percent lighter. No big deal for now, but if the material starts getting used for things like battery trays and interior storage covers, that loss in weight may eventually start adding up enough to boost fuel economy a bit, providing a green double bonus. Lincoln parent Ford, which isn't saying how much more (or less?) it costs to use the new material, established its Biomaterials and Plastics Research team in 2001. In 2007, the company began using soy-based foam in car seats used for models such as the Lincoln Navigator and Ford Mustang and has since broadened biomaterials use to components like floormats and cupholder inserts. Ford also used recycled plastic bottles from the 2012 North America International Auto Show for seats in the Focus Electric.
