1952 Ford F-100 (f-1) Street Rod Pickup-custom-great Looks & Ride-awesome Truck on 2040-cars
El Paso, Texas, United States
My 1952 Ford F1 (F100) Pickup Streetrod is an awesome "Resto Rod" Combining the Incredible Nostalgic Looks of Yesterday with the while meeting today's performance standards. IT'S AMAZING. Let's get into some of the specifics. The truck is "Motorvated" by a brand new Mr. Goodwrench crate 350 Chevy with a brand new 350 automatic transmission.....beefed up of course a bit for some extra performance. The engine has a really nice high performance intake manifold added and it runs and sound fabulous. Of course, the cooling system has been updated with a high quality performance radiator to keep things cool under the hood and in the cab things are kept cool by a really nice Vintage Air/Heat combo unit and it works great, even in intense El Paso Tx. hot temperatures. Alot of thought and innovation went into the building of this beautiful 1952 Ford F1 Pickup Streetrod. Check out the shot of the grille below. Notice anything different?? Can you tell me what's different? Most people can't. Of course the chrome speaks for itself. Most of the older grilles were painted white or gray. But look a little harder..... The stock grille normally only has 3 vertical "teeth"...this one has 5. Isn't that cool? And quite expensive to come up with in the process. But this beautiful truck deserves all the love is received. Now here's another totally cool but subtle thing to consider. Look at the cab from the side...notice anything? You may not but don't feel bad. Most people don't...they just wonder why the truck looks to amazing. The cab was "chopped" 2" which means the cab is 2" shorter than a stock cab. And the great part is you get the amazing looks of this truck and still have bunches of headroom for people who may be over 6' tall. The interior is exceptionally nice and check out the awesome chrome tilt steering column. And yes, don't forget the great AC/Heat in the truck. I retained the original gauges for a retro appearance but it also has some nice modern gauges to the right of the original ones. ***Please note that the gas gauge is not reading correctly. It reads about 1/2 of what the actual fuel level is.*** Oh, and did I mention electric windows and a nice stereo? The truck was also used for State Farm Insurance promotions and advertising. Check out the interesting License Plate. It's no longer current but will go with the truck. I will also entertain trades for a really nice low mileage trike (no voyager please) or perhaps another antique/custom/streetrod auto preferably from the 1930's-1940's range. Not interested in any projects please. Might consider a trade up or down for the right vehicle. NO FOREIGN BUYERS, however I will work with buyers from Mexico and Canada. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I CAN BE REACHED AT 915-276-1505 AND PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE TRUCK IS LOCATED IN EL PASO, TX. I WILL NOT SHIP BUT WILL COOPERATE WITH THE SHIPPER OF YOUR CHOICE OR YOU CAN FLY INTO THE EL PASO AIRPORT WHERE I WILL PICK YOU UP AND YOU CAN DRIVE IT HOME. AND IT WILL BE A GREAT RIDE. 915-276-1505 |

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
Ford decides C-Max shoppers not interested in fuel economy
Sat, Oct 25 2014If 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.
J Mays retiring from Ford design, succeeded by Moray Callum
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Ford's highly influential head of design, J Mays, has announced that he'll be retiring from his position after 33 years in the industry, 16 of which were at the Dearborn, MI-based company. Upon departure, he'll be succeeded as group vice president of design by Moray Callum. If that last name sounds familiar, yes, he's the brother of Jaguar's Ian Callum.
It's difficult to explain just how big of a role Mays had on not just Ford's design over the years, but on the entire industry. Before heading to Dearborn, Mays worked for Audi, BMW and then Volkswagen, where he was involved in concept cars that paved the way for design icons like the first-generation Audi TT and the Volkswagen New Beetle. As for his Ford resume, it's extensive.
Mays joined the company in 1997 as design director for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda, as well as the Premier Automotive Group (Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin). He was heavily involved in the Ford Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Taurus, F-150 and Mustang, while also contributing to concept cars like the Atlas, Evos, 427, Forty-Nine, Shelby GR-1, Lincoln MKZ and the MKC.
