I am listing my 1948 Ford F1 truck, I purchased the truck from the estate of the original owner, Mr Harold Parker owned a garage on the east side of Detroit, he collected early on classic cars and restored them as well, he customized this truck in 1965 as his show truck. The truck was entered in the 1966 Detroit Autorama show, the truck can be seen on the following link, pictures number 45, 56 &58 http://www.joestevensphotos.com/1960sAutoShows/1966-Detroit-Autorama-Photos/i-JtkVPvm Mr Parker collected and restored custom cars until his death in 2010, the truck was stored in the still standing garage until the estate was settled. He bought the truck and used it as a tow vehicle and push truck for midget racing and drag racing until he decided to take it out of service to customize it to what it still looks like today. The truck is as he built it in the early 60's, it has all the late 50's and early 60's aftermarket hot rod parts and patina. The truck has a lot of racing history, it was used as a push truck at the Detroit Dragway national events in the early 60's. The truck has a 1957 Buick nail head V8, Cadillac bat wing air cleaner, the transmission is stock Ford 4 speed manual. The interior is all tucked and rolled and was done in 65 and in great shape, still looks new. Many extras such as lights, horns, side exhaust, extinguisher....paint is from 1965 and shows some flaws but no rust on truck, there is some paint missing on hood but I just waxed the exposed metal since I did not want to alter the original look of the truck ( I was told by a painter it would be hard to blend new paint into the original lacquer to redo the hood), undercarriage all painted and lots of chrome such as Dana Chromed rear end, chromed brake hubs..... Under the hood you cans till find the light bar used at the Autorama show to light up the engine As far as mechanical, truck starts right up and is very strong running, person handling sale of truck for estate redid the brakes, but they pull to one side and should be adjusted. I put new tires as original ones were so dry rotted, they were not safe anymore, hub caps are included also and a spare rear gate that holds a spare tire will be given with the truck. I fell in love with the truck, but unfortunately do have to sell it and will miss this piece of local automotive history, many people that have seen the truck remember it from the "glory days" of racing in Detroit in the 60's. I found in the glove box a stack of original business cards and a write up book form Parker's garage. Please come and check it out, I am on vacation for the next week so will be available at all times. I did keep a color copy of the original title to go with the file. The truck is sold without a warranty, It is the buyer's responsibility to arrange shipping, but I will make myself available to facilitate the process, do not ask me for shipping quotes, I am a private seller, not a dealer, quotes can be checked on line or thru e-bay. Contact me thru e-bay and I will e-mail my phone number if you'd like to talk about the truck or arrange a test drive. I can store the truck for a reasonable amount of time that can be determined by the buyer and seller, but will need full payment within 7 days and a deposit at time of sale. Please do not bid a higher amount that you want to pay and then expect to low ball me after the sale. I will supply you with the clear Michigan title, a bill of sale, a copy of the original title and the few spares. Thank you for looking at my truck Cheers Francois |

FCA, Ford idle plants due to semiconductor shortage
Fri, Jan 8 2021DETROIT (Reuters) - Ford and FCA will become the latest automakers to idle production facilities due to a semiconductor shortage. Ford's Louisville Assembly Plant in Kentucky will idle for a week, borrowing a down period from later in the year to compensate. Per Automotive News, FCA is idling its Brampton facility in Ontario, Canada, and one other site which has not yet been identified. Louisville Assembly is the production site for the Ford Escape and Lincoln Corsair SUVs; Brampton Assembly produces the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Dodge Challenger for FCA. A Ford spokeswoman, who declined to identify the semiconductor supplier, confirmed the temporary shutdown to Reuters. In this, FCA and Ford join Nissan and potentially Honda in idling production in the wake of the shortage, which also hit Volkswagen late last year. The shortages are being blamed on consumer demand for silicon after production slowdowns resulting from the coronavirus pandemic. Volkswagen said it had to adjust production schedules in China, Europe and North America to compensate. Nissan said it planned to reduce production of the Note, a hybrid electric car, at its Oppama Plant in Kanagawa prefecture, Japan, but did not give details of the scale of the output cut. The Nikkei newspaper reported that Nissan would slash its Note production at Oppama to about 5,000 units in January, from an initially planned 15,000 units. "A global shortage of semiconductors has affected parts procurement in the auto sector. As a result of this shortage, the Oppama Plant in Japan will adjust production in January, reducing production of the Nissan NOTE," Nissan said in a statement.

Ford announces first non-pursuit-rated police car ever
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Ford announced its first non-pursuit-rated Police Interceptor ever, based on the Taurus, which employs the smaller 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine in place of similar pursuit-rated Police Interceptors powered by naturally aspirated 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter V6s and the top-spec 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. Officially called the Special Service Police sedan, the car was commissioned at the request of law-enforcement agencies that desire a more fuel-efficient vehicle for detectives, administrators and campus police, who don't necessarily need pursuit-rated vehicles.
The 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine produces 240 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, but more importantly, it allows the SSP sedan to achieve somewhere in the neighborhood of 22 miles per gallon city and 32 mpg highway, which are the civilian 2.0-liter Taurus' official EPA ratings. Ford estimates that the SSP sedan will get 20 mpg city, 30 mpg highway and 23 mpg combined, with the help of Active Grille Shutters that open to allow more cooling air through to the radiator, or close to optimize aerodynamics and fuel economy. Those numbers compare favorably to the discontinued Crown Victoria-based Interceptor's 14 mpg city and 21 mpg highway and the newer Taurus-based cars equipped with V6s, the most fuel efficient of which gets 18 mpg city and 26 mpg highway.
If it was driven 90,000 miles over the course of three years, a 2.0-liter SSP sedan would save law enforcement agencies $5,042.92 versus the Crown Vic, Ford estimates. The EPA is expected to post official fuel-economy numbers for the SSP sedan in December. Until then, read the press release below for more information.
