1930 Model A Ford Modified - Chopped Top All Metal - 350 V8 Automatic- Beautiful on 2040-cars
Jasonville, Indiana, United States
This is a beautiful car and other than a few paint chips the car is perfect. I drove it in the July 4th parade and received a plaque for it as peoples choice award and wasn't expecting that. I was just showing it off!! Anyway I will tell you what I know for sure about the car. I didn't build it but I can tell you someone put a ton of money into it. The top is chopped three inches and metal top put on it and a perfect job I have to say. I was a body man for twenty two years before I went to work at the prison then after fourteen years of Correctional Officer my V.A. doctor said I needed to retire for various reasons due to Agent Orange. Anyway I'm getting off course here the body work was done right and the paint is near perfect! I love this car it's just I thought I could afford it but I owe too much money and I'm sure alot of you can relate to that? It has the louvered hood on top, black running boards and fenders. The duel tail pipes are bent so they come out at the base of the back fenders so you don't see them but they sound sweet. I call the colors Harley colors and it has a small Harley sticker in the back window. Certain ways the light hits the orange it looks yellow as you might see in some of the pictures. To me it reminds me of American Graffiti and when I drive it I feel like an old John Milner but I don't drive it like he did. I baby it but now and then you like to kick it down a little. It has a 350 V8 and I believe they told me it had a 350 automatic trans. It has all the gauges, power windows, and even the rumble seat is power. There is only fourteen thousand miles since the rebuild, I bought it of an older lady that had it twelve years and only put two thousand miles on it and it stayed in a climate controlled garage. I've probably put that many on it and only had it less than six months. Anyway the only chips in the paint are like on the spring holders that holds the hood down and a chip where the rumble seat closes other than that the car is a beauty and gets attention everywhere she goes. Oh it does have the aooga horn also and the windshield still slides open at the bottom. Any other questions just ask.

Ford reflects on radical Mustang concept that never reached showrooms
Tue, 25 Jun 2013The Ford Mustang that we all know and love made major waves in the auto industry way back in 1964 by offering style and reasonable pricing with optional V8 power. Its long hood and short rear deck, combined with a low-slung and sporty cockpit, made a lasting impression in the minds of consumers and car designers alike, and its basic shape has so endured the test of time that it's still in use today.
This being the case, you may be interested to know that the first Mustang of 1964.5 wasn't actually the first Mustang at all, being preceded by a concept car that made its public debut in 1962. This concept was nothing like the car that would eventually make it into production, with a radical wedge shape and a small V4 engine sitting behind the car's two occupants, driving the rear wheels. In other words, the conceptual Mustang was pretty much the complete opposite of the production Mustang besides the name.
Ford has kindly decided go through its massive archive to bring the original Mustang concept back into the public eye. The company goes so far as to pose this question to fans of the pony car: "Should we borrow a few of these style elements for the next iteration of the Mustang?" Check out our image gallery above and then let 'em know what you think in the Comments below.
Leno talks racing with NASCAR racer Joey Logano
Wed, 02 Jul 2014Jay Leno has to be under significant pressure knowing the appetite his fans have for a new Jay Leno's Garage video every week. This time, Jay takes a break from his usual format (something he's been doing with some frequency as of late) and goes back to his roots as a talk show host. There's no classic in the garage his episode with an interesting story to tell and a sumptuous exhaust note. Instead, the focus is purely on interviewing 23-year-old NASCAR racer Joey Logano about what it's like to be a racecar driver in his Ford Fusion.
Logano started racing at the tender age of six and has risen up the circle-track ranks to the big show of the NASCAR Sprint Cup. The two of them talk about what it's like to compete in the sport today compared to yesteryear, and Logano shares some racing anecdotes. Of course, they also get into what it's like to be on the racetrack controlling a car with about 850 horsepower, a four-speed manual transmission and brakes without any power boost. Scroll down to watch the video.
New 2020 Ford Explorer, Lincoln Aviator recalled for minor safety issues
Wed, Aug 7 2019Ford has announced a small recall on 2020 Explorers and 2020 Lincoln Aviators. Select units might be missing a manual park release cover, while others might have instrument clusters stuck in Factory Mode. The recall affects 14,135 SUVs in total. While a vehicle is in production in a manufacturing facility, Ford might put them in what is known as Factory Mode to help reduce battery drain. Affecting the instrument cluster, this mode disables warning alerts, warning chimes, and does not show the PRNDL gear selector display. Ford says one vehicle was in an accident at a production facility as a result of the issue, but nobody was injured. Separately, Ford found that some of these Explorers and Aviators might be lacking a manual park release cover. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards require a manual park release cover that is only removable with a tool. Without the cover, there is a very minor chance the manual park release could be accidentally actuated, which could allow the vehicle to move on its own. The recalls affect 13,896 vehicles in the U.S. and 239 in Canada. The Explorers were built between March 27, 2019, and July 24, 2019. The Aviators were built between April 10, 2019, and July 24, 2019. Owners can use Ford's recall number 19C06, and if affected, can take their vehicles in for fixes.
