1922 Model T Ford "doctor"s Coupe Excellent Driver No Reserve on 2040-cars
Augusta, Georgia, United States
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 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 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 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.

Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue
Fri, 15 Aug 2014Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.
Ford cuts production at 5 plants, has big backload of cars including Mustang
Wed, Sep 20 2017DETROIT — Ford said on Tuesday it plans to idle five North American vehicle assembly plants for a total of 10 weeks to reduce inventories of slow-selling models. The plants affected include three assembly plants in the United States and two in Mexico, the company said in a statement. The vehicle models include the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ midsize sedans, the Ford Focus compact car, the Lincoln Continental and Ford Mustang, Ford Fiesta and the Ford Transit van. Ford said the Cuautitlan assembly plant that builds the Fiesta would be idled for three weeks. The Hermosillo, Mexico plant that builds the Fusion and MKZ and the Flat Rock, Michigan, factory that assembles Continentals and Mustangs will be idled for two weeks each. The Michigan Assembly plant that builds the Focus will be idled for one week, and the Kansas City assembly line that builds Transit vans will be down for two weeks. Ford did not give dates for the temporary shutdowns. The factories involved employ more than 15,000 people, according to Ford's website. The company did not say how many of those workers would face temporary layoffs. As of Sept. 1, Ford had 111 days' worth of unsold Mustangs, 87 days' supply of Fusions, and a 103 days' supply of Transit vans, according to Automotive News. Dealers had enough unsold Lincoln Continentals to last 162 days. Automakers aim for 65 to 70 days of inventory of most models. Ford and rival General Motors have wrestled most of this year to rein in high inventories of passenger cars as consumers have shifted to buying pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles. Production cuts slice into revenue, but also could help the automakers avoid deeper price cuts on vehicles they can sell.

Are you the next Ford Edge? [UPDATE]
Wed, 13 Feb 2013What looks to be the next Ford Edge has been leaked in an apparent corporate Powerpoint presentation deck. Despite the thumbnail image's blurry and pixelated quality, it appears as if the next generation crossover will be staying close to its current aesthetic despite an all-new front clip with redesigned grille, headlamps, and lower fascia with integrated fog lights.
The upscale-minded Blue Oval CUV is due for a redesign in 2015, having just received a mid-cycle refresh for 2011. It isn't clear what changes lie beneath the new skin, either in terms of mechanicals or interior refinement, but we suspect Ford will be looking to put some distance between the next generation model and the new Escape, which is suddenly much more car-like and not that far off the more expensive Edge in terms of overall size, power or refinement.
UPDATE: Substituted clearer image - thanks, Sean!
