You're looking at a No Reserve auction for a 1928 Model A Bantam style traditional hot rod with a custom, cut down Murray Body. It was a 4 door, but now the rear suicide doors are the front/only doors. The cowl, windshield and visor were moved back, and front doors eliminated. The roof was chopped, and body angle channeled for that perfect rake. This is not piece of crap "rat" rod. It is a clean, well thought out, high quality build from the ground up, using actual vintage parts that would've been available back in the '60s. The car is running, driving, is currently licensed, lights all work, turn signals are the type that model A's all used, Ooga horn works, brake lights, etc. The only two modern items on the car are the Lokar shifter and the radiator. The frame is original Model A rails that have been boxed to handle the much more powerful 401 cubic inch Nailhead V8 that came out of a 1965 Buick Electra. It has a TH-400 trans and the Electra rear axle with posi traction was installed. The front axle is stock Model A unit, but 1940 "juice" brakes were added. 1932 ford truck grille shell that has been channeled down with an aluminum radiator.

I have listed the car for my neighbor who built the car from just a frame and a body. This is truely a period-correct hotrod that has real heart and soul, NOT built from a catalog. He is in the final stages of cancer and is not interested in trades unless you've got a nice '58 Chevy Station Wagon. If you have other questions or would like to see the car in person, his sons are: Tracy 64l 42O 6785 or Robert 64l 42O 8674

Ford Everest Concept shows China also has an affinity for big trucks

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

The Ford Everest Concept SUV at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show shows the future of the Blue Oval's truck line in China. While a concept for now, we're told that JMC, Ford's Chinese joint-venture partner, will build a production version sometime in the near future.
With design from Ford's Asia Pacific design team, the handsome seven-passenger SUV shows off some very muscular styling with wraparound headlights that hook into the contours of the angular trapezoidal grille. The beltline rises up the body in the rear and makes the back appear higher than the front. The rear is made from hard, chiseled contours that give the truck a very tough look. The Everest looks ready for some rough roads.
Ford is keeping the interior and mechanical details about the Everest a secret for now, but the SUV is rumored to share some components with the overseas Ranger pickup. The company has no plans to sell the truck in North America. Scroll down to read the official announcement, including the few details on its production.

Ford looks to protect logo from Toronto mayor followers

Fri, 15 Nov 2013

One is a member of the Detroit Three and the maker of the Mustang, Fusion, Explorer and F-150. The other is an admitted loudmouthed, drunk-driving, crack-smoking mayor in Canada. Unfortunately for one, it shares its name with the other. Yes, Ford Motor Company is going to great lengths to keep its iconic Blue Oval logo from being appropriated by supporters of besieged Toronto mayor Rob Ford.
At a United Way event earlier this week, some of Mayor Ford's fans showed up with shirts that featured the automaker's logo with the words "Ford Nation," on them. Naturally, Mayor Ford signed them. FoMoCo was quick to issue an unhappy statement:
"Ford did not grant permission for use of its logo. We view it as an unauthorized use of our trademark and have asked it to be stopped," spokesperson Jay Cooney said. There was also a statement from Ford of Canada's Twitter account after a user alerted the company:
