This national award winning 1929 Ford Model A Delivery recently benefitted from a nut and bolt frame off restoration and appears to be painted in Niagara Blue Light, which was one of the cars original four color options. Complementing that blue is traditional gloss black Model A fenders and black body trim that has been traced with light blue pin stripes. The cars upper rear panels and side window frames are finished in a subdued teal blue and feature the words “Harbor Delivery”, “Gig Harbor Wa.” and “Est. 1929” in black with “Harbor” being outlined by the same light blue pin stripes as the cars black trim.
Fully detailed and expertly finished, the cars body is free of ripples and the blue and black on blue paint looks period correct and very classy. Up front, a stainless radiator cowl with a stainless radiator cap and correct “Ford” stamped headlights with stainless wire looms display a nice patina that looks appropriate given the cars original purpose, but does not detract from its show worthy restoration. Hanging below the headlights on the gloss black headlight bar is a correct Ford Model A horn that sounds just as good as it looks. In front of the gloss black fenders, a correct chrome plated steel spring bumper features black brackets and a cool “Ford” emblem that complements the cars pristine radiator cowl emblem. Just behind the stainless radiator cowl, a four piece hinged hood is in excellent shape and along with the cowl mounted fuel tank, which features a stainless fuel cap, displays no chips or imperfections. Above the cowl mounted fuel tank, a new windshield sits under the cars single wiper and holds two correct rear view mirrors that are finished in gloss black and trimmed in chrome. Above the windshield, a correct Colonial Grain vinyl visor flows into a correct Colonial Grain vinyl top that is in excellent shape and shows no signs of fade or wear. The classic profile of the car is interrupted only by correct body matched bear claw door hinges and correct chrome door handles that display the same patina as the radiator and headlights. At the rear of the car, a third door is held on by three more correct bear claw hinges, secured by a matching chrome handle and houses glass presents as new. Below the rear door, two more chrome plated spring bumpers are held on with black brackets, and a correct chrome duo tail lamp with red lenses occupies the driver’s side of the car serving double duty as a tag bracket and tag light.
Fold open the blue steel hood or remove its louvered sides and you’ll find a correct 40 horsepower L-head four cylinder that measures 201 cubic inches. Painted olive green, this motor might be slow but it was an exceptionally reliable workhorse that would eventually be supplanted by Ford’s flathead V8. On the passenger’s side of the engine, stainless fuel lines gravity feed fuel from the cowl mounted fuel tank through a black sediment bowl into a correct one barrel Zenith carburetor. Directly above the motor, a gloss black coil is bolted to the dark blue firewall and runs power to a correct Model A distributor which sends fire to four Champion spark plugs. Exhaust is piped out of a correct exhaust manifold that sits above a correct intake manifold, to a baffled muffler just behind the engine. At the front of the engine bay, a correct 2 blade pulley mounted fan is driven by a crank turned V belt that appears to be in good shape while correct hoses and tubing run from the radiator to the block and are secured by correct clamps. The engine compartment is finished in the same dark blue as the body and features the Delivery’s original body plate on the passenger’s side firewall. Above the engine, the four piece hood is covered in dark blue and finished to the same standards as the rest of the body.
The bottom of this Delivery is very clean with its black fenders and body braces still retaining significant gloss. Everything has been professionally restored and every part is correct to how the pickup rolled out of its Ford assembly plant. A 3-speed sliding gear manual transmission sends power to a correct gloss black rear end that provides motivation for the rear wheels. At the front of the car a gloss black oil pan perfectly matches gloss black suspension, and an original style exhaust pipe runs through a correctly baffled muffler into a tail pipe that stops just short of the rear axle. Mechanical drum brakes sit on each side of correct transversely mounted leaf springs to provide acceptable riding and stopping. The entire chassis is bolted together with stainless hardware and includes a driver’s side floor mounted battery tray for easy battery access and charging. This Delivery rolls on correct 21 inch wire spoke wheels that are painted black to match the fenders and wear traditional size 4.50/4.75-21 Firestone white walls. On the outside of those wheels you’ll find aluminum covered valve stems and in the middle of those wheels you’ll find correct “Ford” stamped chrome center caps and silver lug nuts.
Inside the cab, this Delivery features a traditionally simple and appealing Model A interior. The arched dash is painted in gray and houses a nicely aged center gauge pod that includes the ignition switch, an amps gauge, a cool round speedometer with an incorporated odometer and a floating fuel gauge for the cowl mounted fuel tank. Above the dash, hardware for the tilt window is in great shape and an interior light and its switch are incorporated into the panel above the windshield. Below the dash a simple metal shifter and vertical emergency brake complement a stainless choke for the Zenith carburetor, and correct black floor pedals spring up from a black rubber floor mat. At each side of the floor mat, correct “Ford” stamped sill plates welcome you to the interior and sit below pristine vinyl door panels. Those door panels are topped by gray trim that matches the dash and feature chrome window cranks, chrome door handles and chrome door locks. Two bucket seats are covered in the same reddish brown vinyl as the door panels and feel firm to the touch. Behind the seats, the sides of the car are covered in reddish brown vinyl panels from the tight, matching headliner all the way to the wooden cargo floor. That cargo floor has been stained black to match the cars gloss black fenders, gloss black floor hardware and the cars correct black steering wheel.
This Ford Model A Delivery is a very cool car that has been professionally restored to have just as much character as it did back in 1929. It’s a very traditional, period correct piece that will be a nice conversation starter wherever you go. Specialty Model As that haven’t been chopped up or modified into something that loses all of its inherent charm are becoming increasingly hard to find

2018 Honda Accord charges into slumping sedan market
Sat, Jul 15 2017DETROIT - Honda on Friday revealed its newest-generation Accord, one of four re-engineered midsize sedans that Asian automakers are betting on to win market share as Detroit automakers shift focus to SUVs, crossovers, and pickup trucks. The new Accord, like rival Toyota's all-new Camry arriving this month, offers major improvements in fuel economy, technology, styling and safety. Honda declined to discuss details ahead of Friday's event in Detroit. The Accord and Camry are pillars of their manufacturers' US businesses, each selling well over 300,000 vehicles a year. In the coming months, Nissan is expected to launch a new Altima midsize sedan, and Hyundai will launch a new Sonata. Both are popular marques that will be promoted heavily. "There has been no new news on the midsize sedan side for three years, and we think this is a great opportunity to bring attention back to the segment," said Jack Hollis, Toyota's head of marketing for North America. Year to date, US passenger car sales are down 11.4 percent, and sales of midsize sedans are down 14.2 percent. Still, Americans bought 7.1 million sedans in 2016. With General Motors and Ford cutting sedan production, and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles abandoning the segment, Honda and its Asian rivals could boost sales with updated models, dealers said. "They could take share from other brands, which is traditionally what happens when a new product is launched," said Pete DeLongchamps, vice president for manufacturer relations at Group 1 Automotive Inc, the third-largest US auto dealer group. "NOT FINDING A PLACE WITH CONSUMERS" The Accord for years was Honda's top-selling model in the United States. Within the past year, US sales of the Honda CR-V have eclipsed the aging Accord, and Honda has expanded production capacity for the compact crossover. Passenger-car sales have steadily declined since 2012, when they made up 51.2 percent of the US market. Sedans have sagged to a 38.1 percent share in the first half of this year. IHS Markit said US consumer loyalty to SUVs and pickup trucks has risen since 2012, but declined for sedans. The new Accord and Camry "may stem the decline," said IHS Markit's Tom Libby. "I don't think they will cause a marked reverse." Improvements to the Accord should boost sales at Galpin Honda in San Fernando, California, general manager Ed Hartoonian said.
Ford, Renault have surprises in store for Le Mans
Tue, Jun 9 2015All those prototype and GT racers won't be the only attraction catching our eye at the 24 Hours of Le Mans this weekend. Two major automakers have also confirmed that they've got new metal to unveil. And while they're not saying exactly what they'll be, we've got some pretty good ideas. First up is Ford, which has announced a "major Ford Performance news announcement" on Friday. Chairman Bill Ford, CEO Mark Fields, and product development chief Raj Nair will be on hand for the announcement set to take place on Friday at 10:00 AM Eastern. The Blue Oval isn't saying just what it has in store, but the widespread speculation has been that it will present a racing version of the new Ford GT at Le Mans a good half century since the original GT40 raced there. Meanwhile, Renault has announced that it is marking the 60th anniversary of the Alpine marque at Le Mans this Saturday. The French automaker has been working on reviving the dormant marque, and looks poised to finally reveal its new sports car at its iconic home endurance race this weekend. Tipped to be called the Alpine AS1, the new sports car will bring the marque back out of retirement in a more real way than the ELMS-winning LMP2 prototype ever could. Expect it to be based on the mid-engined chassis underpinning the Renault RS 01 spec racer, but built for the road.

2015 F-150 kick-starts Ford sales
Wed, Feb 4 2015The F-150 had a middling year in 2014, and its sales dipped slightly as Ford transitioned to producing the all-new truck with an aluminum body. But with one factory humming, another on the way and a fuller stock of trucks, 2015 is already shaping up to be a different story. The F-Series posted a 17-percent leap in January, helping to push Ford sales to a 15-percent gain for the month. The F-Series had its best January performance in 11 years with sales of 54,370 trucks last month. Much of this strength comes from the new generation of the F-150. While many of the old model are still being sold off, Ford is rolling out the new version. Just five percent of the F-150's retail sales were the new truck in December, but it was up to 18 percent in January. The increase comes as the first factory that makes the truck, Ford's Dearborn facility, is fully back online. The other F-150 factory, in Kansas City, is still completing its changeover to build the aluminum-bodied truck, and that's expected to be finished in the first quarter of this year. Sales of the truck will still be "tempered a bit" until the Kansas City plant ramps up, Ford sales analyst Erich Merkle said. Ford expects to have a full inventory of F-150s by mid-year. To that end, the company announced plans on Wednesday to add 1,550 jobs to support the F-150, including 900 positions at the Kansas City factory. The remaining jobs will be spread out over sites in metro Detroit. The Dearborn and Kansas City factories collectively will be able to build more than 700,000 F-150s annually. The added headcount also means Ford has reached the maximum number of entry-level workers allowed under its pact with the United Auto Workers. About 300 to 500 employees at several plants in the Midwest will transition to a higher pay rate, and their wages will rise from $19.28 an hour to $28.50 an hour. The F-Series was Ford's hottest seller in January, moving off lots in an average of 12 days. The high-end models, the King Ranch and the Platinum versions, are moving slightly quicker. The average transaction price is also up $2,100 for the F-150 compared to January 2014. "We're really pleased with how the new one is doing on dealer lots," Merkle said. A larger stock of F-150s will allow Ford and its rivals to capitalize on low fuel prices, which have slowed consumers' interest in smaller vehicles.
