Video of the car here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUwEgn9nKZo 65 Photos of the car here: http://s102.photobucket.com/user/BP_Silly/library/Model%20A?sort=2&page=1 Up for your consideration is my late grandfather’s 1930 Ford Model A Town Sedan, which has been in our family since 1958. Grandpa was the car’s second owner. According to his notes it was last driven in 2003 and has been garaged its entire life. The mileage of 83,262 is the ACTUAL MILAGE from 1930 to present day. Below the write up I will include a transcript of my grandfather’s log of trips since 1989. This A is the VERY definition of a driver, and grandpa was proud he drove it to 10 states and Canada. The body is a Briggs body (as opposed to a Murray body.) The frame number is stamped on the driver’s side just below the front door. Does not run but turns over. This car was a driver and has wear & tear one would associate with a driver i.e. chipped paint. Mice did make a home in it during its last decade in storage, but it’s cleaned out now. All that said it’s a solid car. Please look at the pictures and video carefully and ask questions. The original upholstery was mohair but my grandmother was allergic to it and it was recovered in 1966. One extra role of upholstery is included. The car’s color is “Booster Green.” The title is clear. The A comes with a cloth custom cover and many extras pieces parts. Including original sunshades and luggage holder. Look at pictures carefully for the miscellaneous pieces parts. The car won dozens of trophies over the years, included in the sale are 5. The quail hood ornament and the original box for the rearview mirror are also included but not pictured. The old pictures date from 1959-1997 (one is dated ’87 however it’s really 1997, grandpa could never set the date & time on the camera.) I’ll be happy to include digital copies of them in the sale of the car. According to various family members the car was last started about 4 years ago. I don’t have the knowledge & know how and am not even going to try hence the car is being sold “as is.” The car is stored at my godfather’s in Strongsville and if you’re in the Cleveland area a viewing can be arranged. The car will need to be picked up from zip code 44136 within 2 weeks of sale. PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO MY COUSIN’S VIDEO OF THE CAR, HIS DESCRIPTION WILL BE THE MOST DETAILED.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUwEgn9nKZo As I know it, here’s the car’s history, some may be relevant, some may not, nonetheless here’s its story: In 1958 the A was purchased from a widow in Grafton, Ohio for $200. Her husband bought it new, drove it for a few years then upon joining the military, put it into storage and up on blocks. Ultimately he was one of the millions who were claimed by WW2. It wasn’t until 1957 that his widow learned to drive. That year she had Sears come out and put in a new battery and replace the tires. After driving it around for a few months, she came to the realization it was not for her because she didn’t like, “sitting up higher then everyone else.” Then my Aunt Laura ran into the woman at Sparkle Market in Grafton and told her she was going to sell the A and get something more modern. Aunt Laura said her nephew (my grandpa) might be interested and rushed home to call him. (Apparently not finishing her shopping.) Grandpa came out that weekend and bought it. During the summer of 1958 grandpa and his brother Don restored it. The car’s nickname was “Marilyn.” As with all gentlemen of that era Marilyn Monroe was THE hot topic. Grandpa though, actually saw Marilyn twice in person, once shopping in a Los Angeles supermarket wearing a tight sweater with an “M” pin and secondly, in Korea when she entertained with the USO. It was humorous asking him to describe her and all he would say was, “WOW, ya know, WOW.” Sadly when Grandpa married his second wife she found Marilyn Monroe to be, in her words, “utter pornography” and banned anything and everything related to “that woman.” However, to us, the A will always be Marilyn.

Autotrader picks best cars for 2015's college grads
Sun, May 31 2015Summer is here and the school season is winding to a close. That means millions of students will be graduating college and (hopefully) entering the workforce. For many, that will mean buying a new car suited to the new stage in life into which they will now be embarking. That can be a bewildering choice, especially for someone who's never bought a car before. Fortunately, Autotrader has come up with a short list of recommended cars – new and used – which it recommends to the graduating class of 2015. Among the site's top choices are some compelling crossovers and hatchbacks, including the Buick Encore, Chevy Trax, and Jeep Renegade, as well as the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa Note, Mazda3 and Fiat 500. Can't stretch to buying new, or don't see the point? Autotrader has also identified the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and even the Lexus IS as smart buys in the certified pre-owned category. "Any time someone goes through a major life change, such as graduating college, they need to determine if their current ride makes sense for their lifestyle, from both a financial and functional perspective," says Autotrader editor Brian Moody. "For example, while that hand-me-down SUV from your parents was nice when you turned 16, you may want to opt for a safer, more fuel-efficient car as you transition into the working world." Autotrader Names 10 Best Cars for Recent College Graduates ATLANTA, May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For many, graduating college is a milestone like no other – it represents a new chapter, a proud accomplishment and, fortunately or unfortunately, financial independence. Luckily for graduates who are in the market for a new car to suit their post-college lifestyle, Autotrader's expert editors say now is a great time to make a purchase, as dealerships are flush with affordable models that are fun, fuel-efficient and thoughtfully designed.

Ford dealer gives James Robertson new 2015 Taurus
Fri, Feb 6 2015James Robertson, the 56-year-old Detroit native famous for walking 21 miles to work each day for the last 10 years, is behind the wheel again thanks to a gift from a Ford dealer. Robertson became an Internet sensation when the story about his daily ordeal came to light, and a GoFundMe campaign initially hoped to raise $5,000 to buy him a new ride. As of this writing, it has reached over $300,000. He didn't have to dip into any of that money to buy the new car, though. According to The Detroit Free Press, Suburban Ford of Sterling Heights, MI, heard about Robertson's story of never being late to work and having perfect attendance. The dealer is donating a fully loaded, red 2015 Taurus to him. It's not one of our choices, but certainly nothing to sneeze at. Robertson started walking to work in 2005 when his Honda broke down. According to the GoFundMe page, his job is about 23 miles away, but thanks to Detroit's poor bus network, he covers about 21 miles of that round-trip trek on foot each day.

Ford Model e losing billions as it says EV unit should be seen as startup
Thu, Mar 23 2023DETROIT — Ford Motor Co.'s electric vehicle business has lost $3 billion before taxes during the past two years and will lose a similar amount this year as the company invests heavily in the new technology. The figures were released Thursday as Ford rolled out a new way of reporting financial results. The new business structure separates electric vehicles, the profitable internal combustion and commercial vehicle operations into three operating units. Company officials said the electric vehicle unit, called “Ford Model e,” will be profitable before taxes by late 2026 with an 8% pretax profit margin. But they wouldn't say exactly when it's expected to start making money. Chief Financial Officer John Lawler said Model e should be viewed as a startup company within Ford. “As everyone knows, EV startups lose money while they invest in capability, develop knowledge, build (sales) volume and gain (market) share,” he said. Model e, he said, is working on second- and even third-generation electric vehicles. It currently offers three EVs for sale in the U.S.: the Mustang Mach E SUV, the F-150 Lightning pickup and an electric Transit commercial van. The new corporate reporting system, Lawler said, is designed to give investors more transparency than the old system of reporting results by geographic regions. The automaker calculated earnings for each of the three units during the past two calendar years. Model e had pretax losses of $900 million in 2021 and $2.1 billion last year, and it is expected to lose $3 billion this year. In the past two years Ford has announced it would build four new battery factories and a new vehicle assembly plant as well as spending heavily to acquire raw materials to build electric vehicles. By the end of this year, the company based in Dearborn, Michigan, expects to be building electric vehicles at a rate of 600,000 per year, reaching a rate of 2 million per year by the end of 2026. Ford Blue, the unit that sells internal combustion and gas-electric hybrid vehicles, made just over $10 billion before taxes during the last two years. Ford Pro, the commercial vehicle unit, made $5.9 billion during those years, the company said. For this year, Ford expects Ford Blue to post a $7 billion pretax profit, modestly better than last year. Ford Pro is expected to earn $6 billion before taxes, nearly double its earnings last year, Lawler said. Ford was to present the new structure, announced last March, to analysts and investors on Thursday.
