***VERY ORIGINAL CAR THAT NEEDS A NEW GOOD HOME***

This is a 1931 Ford Model A fordor sedan Briggs body. It has only had 3 owners. The second owner bought it from the original owner and kept it for many years. He stored the car in 1958 and intended to restore it one day. He is in his 80s and has health problems so he sold it to a buddy of mine in 2012. Photo of it being pulled out of the garage is below. My buddy had a good Model A mechanic good through the mechanics and he got the car running, driving and stopping properly. The only problem is the transmission makes noise in second gear. The mechanic was going to fix it but he, also in his 80s, died this summer. The car was taken to a 86-year-old body man who stripped the car down to metal. Car was very, very solid. He painted the car green and the fenders black. Paint job is good but has some blems. The top and the running boards were replaced. The car had incorrect wheels so Model A wheels were located, sandblasted and painted. New tires were mounted to all 5 wheels. The cowl lights were replaced, taillights converted to LED's, new windshield gasket installed, new welting for the hood sides, new water pump on the engine. We believe the interior is original. The window frames have been painted but new interior needs to be bought and installed. The car needs the side glass for the driver and passenger door. The other side glass and back glass we think are original. Car comes with some extra parts. It is a running, driving project. The owner has decided to sell it; his wife wants it gone. I listed it for the owner. Email any question and if you'd like to speak to the owner just ask for his number.

Lincoln recycling tree fibers into new MKX armrest

Thu, Feb 27 2014

Want to hug a tree, or at least a really small part of one. Then set your arm down on one of those armrests in the 2014 Lincoln MKX crossover. The US automaker is working with Weyerhaeuser and Johnson Controls on a tree-based, cellulose-reinforced polypropylene material used in the component that connects the armrest to the floor console, Wards Auto says. With properties similar to plastic, the tree-based material replaces fiberglass and is about six percent lighter. No big deal for now, but if the material starts getting used for things like battery trays and interior storage covers, that loss in weight may eventually start adding up enough to boost fuel economy a bit, providing a green double bonus. Lincoln parent Ford, which isn't saying how much more (or less?) it costs to use the new material, established its Biomaterials and Plastics Research team in 2001. In 2007, the company began using soy-based foam in car seats used for models such as the Lincoln Navigator and Ford Mustang and has since broadened biomaterials use to components like floormats and cupholder inserts. Ford also used recycled plastic bottles from the 2012 North America International Auto Show for seats in the Focus Electric.

Ford Focus was best-selling nameplate in 2012

Tue, 09 Apr 2013

Last August, Ford made a few waves by claiming that the Ford Focus was, at that point, the top-selling car in the world. The automaker failed to account for variations of the Toyota Corolla wearing a different name (such as the Auris and Matrix), however. With official data from Polk coming in now, Ford is able to say that the Focus was, in fact, the best-selling nameplate in the world last year.
Using new-car registrations (which doesn't factor in fleet sales), the Polk data shows that a total of more than one million Focus models around the world. Strong sales in the US and China have led to a 16 percent increase in year-over-year Focus sales from 2011 that helped to create even more of a gap between it and the second-best global seller, the Corolla.
Ford also had the Fiesta and F-Series listed in the top 10 for worldwide nameplates, but what's even more impressive is the fact that the F-Series is only sold in North America. Scroll down to see the list (compiled by Ford using Polk data) of the top global sellers last year and a press release from Ford.
