The entire life of the car has been in Wisconsin and I am the third owner. I purchased the sport coupe on October 8, 2004 from a local woman after the death of her husband. The car had been restored in the late 1990's. Recently, the original license plates were found by the widow and are included. The restoration included a LeBaron Bonney interior and top, fabric rumble seat and body repainting using the original Copra Drab DDL 440 color and black fenders. Several veteran members of the local Model A Club knew of the car and quality of restoration. The sport coupe is authentic (excluding the luggage rack) including the early 1928 red steering wheel, nickel plating of the radiator shell and headlights. The engine is original. The car went through a complete rework (including necessary part replacement) procedure which was done by the president of the Model A Club during the remainder of October 2004. Available on request is a five page analysis of the codition of the car at purchase and the new related rework including listing of all parts. Major items include: carburetor, door hardware and glass, electrical systems, manifold gasket, exhaust system, spark plugs, hoses, speedometer, water pump, fan belt, distributor, painting of engine, rewiring of instrument panel, kingpin, rear axle grease seals. Additional work after 2004 includes: 2006 - new brake work including brake shoes, reface of brake drums, new front and rear roller pin and floater. 2007 - replacement of 7 tooth steering box, shaft and new spines. 2009 - new battery and replacement of generator (which is available if requested) with alternator. 2010 - new spindle bolt set. 2012 - new front outer bearing. The speedometer was not functioning when I purchased the car in 2004. New speedometer installed in 2004 has 4300 miles on the odometer. Included is a notebook of all service records and invoices of all work from 2004-2013. The car has been unique to the Model A Club which includes only three sport coupes. It has been a fun car to enjoy as it received many compliments and attracted many photographers. It represents an aesthetically simplistic appealing period of automotive history. Age and a hip replacement has prevented me from driving, so it is time to let someone else enjoy the experience, pride and joy of ownership.

Ford Transit Skyliner Concept is a Gulfstream for the road
Sat, 12 Apr 2014If you are afraid to fly or just want to arrive at your ultimate destination in absolute comfort, then the Ford Transit Skyliner concept might be the perfect vehicle for you. Built by Galpin Auto Sports and based on a 2015 Transit, the van is basically a private jet on wheels. It even has a touch of Transformers about it with the ability to switch between four modes by pressing a button in a smartphone app.
Based on the long wheelbase, high-roof model with 487 cubic feet of cargo space and 6 feet, 9.5 inches of interior height, the Skyliner has movable captains chairs that shift around among four modes. In theater mode, the seats turn and recline to face a 52-inch retractable movie screen with 7.2 surround sound. For business, a motorized table unfolds, and the chairs gather around it. There is a mode for tailgating where the door opens four-feet wide, and, when traveling, passengers can recline back with footrests that extend for maximum comfort.
To make the ride even plusher, there is a satellite and media server to meet your entertainment needs, and there is even a built-in bar in the back. If this Ford had a bathroom, you could live in it. Of course, you would need to hire a driver to enjoy all the amenities in the back.
Ford debuts Fusion NASCAR racer that edges closer to stock [w/video]
Wed, 20 Feb 2013The sixth-generation NASCAR Sprint Cup racecar, which will make its competition debut at the 2013 Daytona 500 this weekend, marks the closest thing to a "stock car" that the sport has seen in more than 20 years. No longer using just stickers to distinguish the different brands, the image above shows the lengths NASCAR and automakers went in order to create a racecar design that more closely resembles the individual cars they represent.
Ford, one of the more open and vocal OEMs regarding the Gen6 car's development, is giving us a closer look at its racing version of the Fusion with a pretty revealing side-by-side comparison with last years' racer (click above for an expanded view). Aside from the more realistic front end and production-like body lines, the overall shape, dimensions and proportions have also been designed to give the racecar a more stock appearance. Most of the new racer was designed by the Ford Design Center, which the automaker says was the first time it has been so involved in the design process since the 1960s. Of course, one area the Sprint Cup Fusion really differs from the production Fusion is its Ford Racing 5.8-liter V8 producing around 850 hp. Can you say Fusion SVT?
