1913 Ford Model T New Zealand Fire Brigade car body.

This auction is for the fire brigade car body only but the auction may be ended early for successful offer on complete car. For sale is the body, seats, ladder and brackets, bell, siren, nozzle, fire extinguisher, axe, Merryweather fireman's helmet. Note: this auction does not include the running gear, fenders, splash aprons, hood, firewall, steering etc.

This car is an incredible amount of fun to drive, it always draws a crowd. It is fun on tours and is in constant demand for displays, parades, and events. It is set up with seat belts to make it safe to carry small children. People tell me it reminds them of riding a fire truck at Disneyland, only more fun!

The body has hardwood framing and aluminum body panels. Storage compartments are located in the hose tray under the brigade seats, under the driver's seat, and in the rear compartment. The body comes with the bell, spot light, nozzle, one Merryweather helmet, seatbelts, ladder and mounts, standpipe and brackets, and hand cranked siren. Forged steel anchors for seat belts (belts included) are hidden under the 24' extension ladder. Stop lights have been concealed in the hose connectors visible at the rear of the car.

In 1913 the New Zealand fire Service purchased their first motorized vehicles. Several 1913 Ford chassis were procured and sent to the body builder. In January 1914 the brigade cars were sent to the stations for equipping. This car is a copy of the New Plymouth, New Zealand fire brigade car. One original brigade car (1923) exists, this replica is the only 1913 style brigade car in existence.

This car is currently on a right had drive chassis like the originals were but it can be mounted up to any Ford Model T chassis, right or left hand drive. I will consider sale of the whole car by offer. The whole car would include above and fenders and splash aprons which are powder coated, as well as the 1913 running gear which are not included in the auction. The car has auxillary AC brakes acting on custom made cast iron rear drums. The firewall, horn and right hand drive steering are included as is the engine hood which is an original in poor condition. The engine has a Chaffin driver cam, Stan Howe Stromberg OF carburetor and a recent rebuild. Unfortunately the engine has a crack in the underside of the water jacket which occasionally weeps a little. This car is a reproduction based on the 1913 New Plymouth fire car as it was equipped in 1916 so it has gas headlamps converted to electricity. The front tires are a bit worn and will need replacing. I have held off on replacing tires as this car really should have all white tires to match the era. Right now it is running rebuilt brass top coils and a 12V battery.

Ford ending Focus, C-Max production in Michigan after 2018

Thu, Jul 9 2015

Ford will no longer produce the Focus and C-Max at its Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, MI, beyond 2018. United Auto Workers vice president Jimmy Settles confirmed this in a letter Thursday, which was posted on Twitter. According to the UAW Ford Department's tweet, production of the Focus and C-Max will shift to Mexico. Ford isn't confirming this, though – a spokesperson tells Autoblog, "We didn't say that." Instead, Ford issued the following statement about the matter: We will move production of the next-generation Ford Focus and C-Max, which currently are built at Michigan Assembly Plant, beginning in 2018. We actively are pursuing future vehicle alternatives to produce at Michigan Assembly and will discuss this issue with UAW leadership as part of the upcoming negotiations. Earlier this year, Ford announced layoffs of 700 employees at the Michigan Assembly Plant, citing slow sales of both the Focus and C-Max. The MAP was once heralded as a flexible, futuristic facility when it was retooled for C-segment car production in 2009. Prior to that, the Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs were built at the Wayne facility. It also produced the iconic Ford Bronco. The future of the MAP is uncertain, but the UAW remains hopeful. In Settles' letter, he writes, "We are extremely confident that a new product commitment will be secured during the upcoming 2015 negotiations and that the Michigan Assembly Plant will maintain a full production schedule."
