1951 Ford F-1 Pickup Truck. This truck is actually a Barn Find from Virginia. I was told that it sat in a farmer's barn for over 30 years. A couple of years ago the farmer took it out of the barn and it sat outside. I do not know how long it was outside. I got it home and changed the Spark Plugs, Points, and replaced the Fuel Pump and she ran. I replaced almost the entire Brake System including Master Cylinder, Wheel Cylinders, Lines and Hoses and now it stops! I also replaced the Wheels and Tires with period correct Baby Moons and Bias-Plys. The Truck is Red, but appears to have been Blue, from the factory. The Red Paint is old and faded and gives the truck a vintage shop-worn look. It looks so much like the old Sanford and Son truck that I painted Sanford and Son on the doors and entered it my local car show. The reaction was amazing! There were people lining up to get their picture taken beside this old truck. It amazes me how much attention this old truck gets! Since the show, I have been driving it around. It is a pretty good cruiser for short distances. I have not ventured more than about five miles from home. The Body is pretty solid, but there is some rust. I tried to show it all in the pictures. The Frame is solid. The Interior is Blue, but the seat is in good condition, so I didn't want to do anything about the color. Most of the Glass is good, but the Passenger Side Window is cracked. I will try to answer any questions through email. If you would like to come see the truck, drop me a line and we can schedule. I am listing this with no reserve and will sell it to the highest bidder. I may be able to assist with delivery, for a charge, within a couple of hundred miles of Akron, Ohio.

Introducing the 1965 Ford Mustang
Sat, 24 Aug 2013Put on your space suits and diving bell helmets, for it's time to step into a time capsule. The 50th anniversary of a historic model, like, say, the Porsche 911 this year, is certain to bring flights of nostalgia. This historical trip with the 1965 Mustang, though - preliminary hype for next year's anniversary, we know - is a swell museum exhibit for anyone who enjoys bygone days of the automobile.
Lee Iaccoca gave a speech to motoring journalists on April 1, 1964 at the New York World's Fair to introduce a sporty car for younger drivers. His opening line: "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to one of the proudest moments of our lives." The company was so excited by what it had made that the Mustang was Ford's first "International Press Introduction," being introduced to some 2,000 journos around the world on the same day in the US and 11 European cities. Even through its difficult points, no one at the time could have known how well the Mustang would acquit that pride.
After the intro, the press drove Mustangs 750 miles from New York to Dearborn, MI, reading press kits that touted features like the "vertical, three-sectional taillights/turn signals," "170" six-cylinder engine with 101 horsepower and the available Cruise-O-Matic transmission.
Ford Focus was best-selling nameplate in 2012
Tue, 09 Apr 2013Last 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.
Ford starting up 2.0L EcoBoost engine production in Ohio
Fri, 22 Feb 2013Joe Hinrichs, Ford's President of The Americas (pictured above), announced today that in late 2014, the automaker will be building the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder at its Cleveland Engine Plant, a move requiring a $200-million investment and the hiring of 450 new employees. European-built Ford products will continue to source this engine from the Valencia, Spain plant where all of these EcoBoost four-cylinder engines are currently built, and the new Cleveland engines will be used for all North American-made models.
Ford is planning to build its popular EcoBoost engines regionally to maximize production capacity and meet customer demand. Last year, Ford sold 334,364 vehicles with EcoBoost engines in the US alone, and that number is expected to swell to more than 500,000 by the end of this year, with global sales expected to total 1.6 million. By 2015, Ford says that 95 percent of its nameplates will offer an EcoBoost engine.
One such vehicle that could be adding an EcoBoost engine, according to Automotive News, is none other than the 2015 Ford Mustang. The report says that Ford could use either the 2.0-liter EcoBoost or an upcoming 2.3-liter EcoBoost in the sixth-generation pony car.
