This speedster is a genuine 1925 Ames-bodied Ford.
The F.A. Ames Company of Owensboro, Kentucky produced this very popular Model 815 Racer Body from 1915-1925 as a replacement body for the Model T Ford of the day that was "a favorite with red-blooded men- the young men who set the pace in every community- the young men who like snap, style and speed." It was ordered with the optional Double Panel Windshield and Water-tight Trunk. True to the spirit of its purpose, this speedster is not just another delicate, cute little Ford speedster. There are plenty of those for sale out there if you want a namby-pamby parade car so you can putt around the block and wave at the neighbors. But as you consider the following list of equipment, it will be very apparent to the discerning speedster fan that this thing is as they would have said in the early days of motoring, "a real Scorcher!" If driving this car doesn't put a smile on your face, I suggest that you should probably check to see if you have a pulse! Check out these features: 1) Real 1925 Ames-Bodied Speedster 2) Ruckstel Rear Axle (Smooth as Silk) 3) Wire Wheels and Stylish Mounted Spare 4) Steering Box for positive control 5) Heavy Duty Radius Rods 6) Fronty 2-Spark, 2- Carburetor Model S-R Racing Head (For Racing Cars Only) 7) Dual Winfield Model SR Carburetors 8) Bosch Dual Spark ZU4 Magneto W/Impulse 9) Townsend Alumimum Oil Pan W/Aluminum Engine Side Covers 10) Jahns Alumimum Racing Pistons 11) Side Drive Aluminum Water Pump 12) Racing Header & Exhaust 13) Pressurized Fuel System 14) Electric Starter 15) 12 Volt Electrical System W/Alternator 16) 5 Tube Radiator 17) High Volume External Oil Supply Line 18) Connecting Rod Oil Dippers When the Chevrolet brothers introduced the Fronty Model R Cylinder Head in 1921, it absolutely astonished the racing world by its performance and dependability, winning practically every race it entered, including races at Indianapolis, Ft. Wayne, South Bend, Chicago, Graham, Texas and Ventura, Calif. Qualifying in the 1923 Indy 500 at 86.92 MPH and defeating all the foreign entries such as Mercedes, Bugatti, etc. and many of the American entries, it demonstrated what a Ford car can really do when equipped with the Fronty head. The racing community of the day took notice. The Model S-R 2-spark plug 2-carburetor head configuration like this speedster sports was brought out to "meet a demand of the fastest drivers for something faster than the regular Model R." With its dual Winfield Carbs and dual spark Mag, what a combination! So here it is, the one you've been searching for all these years. How long would it take to locate correct period parts and assemble such a car? This is not a bunch of reproduction stuff made to look pretty. What we have here is the genuine article!

As US exports top 2 million, is America becoming the world's source of cheap cars?
Mon, Feb 9 2015North American auto production is booming with 2014 figures just shy of the of the 17.3-million vehicle record set in 2000. With more models being built on the continent, even more are being shipped overseas. Factories in the US exported 2.1 million cars last year – the highest number ever. About half of those went to Canada and Mexico, but more than ever have been heading to places like the Middle East and China. The upswing comes in part from from after-effects from the Great Recession, according to The Wall Street Journal. With a weak dollar and lower production costs after the financial crisis, building vehicles in the US was relatively cheaper and more competitive in the world. At the same time buyers around the world are going crazy for crossovers. According to the WSJ, BMW and Mercedes-Benz are already exporting the majority of their US production of these models overseas. Both automakers have also announced investments to expand production further here to send more vehicles abroad. Even Honda has been shipping more models out of the country than it imported here. There is a concern this international strength could start slowing because the dollar is strengthening against other currencies, though it's too early to know what the actual effect of this could be, according to the WSJ. "Of course, we closely watch currency exchange, but we don't make changes in production or allocation based on temporary fluctuations in the exchange rate," Ford North American boss Joe Hinrichs told the newspaper.

Holy crime-fighting Ford F-150, Batman!
Thu, 18 Jul 2013What would Batman drive for his weekly trips to Home Depot for the bits and pieces needed to keep his lair deep below Wayne Manor in tip-top condition? Certainly not the Batmobile - there's no way a 4x8 sheet of plywood will fit between the wheel wells, not to mention the fact that jet turbine engines have an unfortunate tendency to set trailers on fire when towing...
No, what Batman needs is a pickup truck. The boys from Ford teamed up with Galpin Auto Sports to build just such a machine, and it has just debuted at Comic Con. Designed by Jared Barris, grandson of the legendary kustomizer George Barris, the 2012 F-150 pickup you see here, dubbed Crime Fighter, is painted Tuxedo Black with Ferrari Red highlights and is affixed with fins on each side of the truck bed. It's nothing if not unique.
Well, it's at least unique for now. According to Ford, Galpin in Southern California is willing to take orders for customers looking to don a cape and hit the town for a night of crime-fighting action. Or trips to Home Depot. Check out our high-res image gallery and then scroll down for the official description from Ford. We're waiting for details such as pricing and build time from Ford, and we'll update this post if and when we hear back.
This Or That: Fiat 500 Abarth vs. Ford Fiesta ST [w/poll]
Thu, 21 Aug 2014
They're pretty darn similar. And yet our views are oh so different.
If you guys could read the transcripts of our editors' chat room, you'd know that we're a pretty argumentative bunch. It's always good-spirited stuff (well, usually), but when we're not obsessively covering this or that, we're usually fighting about one car being better than another. We're all enthusiasts here, and our automotive tastes run the gamut from the weird and unusual to the decidedly mainstream - we all feel strongly about specific cars in a given segment. While it usually makes for good conversation, if we're passionate enough, it can turn into a tomato-throwing showdown.
