1928 Modified Custom Model A Ford Roadster Pickup A one-of-a-kind ALL STEAL Rat Rod About the Owner and Builder: If you’re a custom car enthusiast or builder yourself, then you very well know the pioneers of custom car building such as George Barris, Ed “Big Daddy” Roth, Norm Grabowski, or the “Alexander Brothers”, Mike and Larry Alexander. All these guys started out small time in a backyard garage in the 1940’s-1950’s and went on to be some of the most famous and sought after customizers ever. Following in his idols footsteps soon after would be Dan Heffner. Who is he you ask? Well, if you’re from NE Ohio and know anything about custom cars or have had the privilege of ever having him assist you in building your dream ride, then you know who this homegrown hero is and you know where his knowledge and craftsmanship rates. For the rest of you, allow me to enlighten: Dan was born in the early 1950’s and caught the bug by tinkering with cars with his old man out in the garage. By the late 1960’s he was well on this way in souping up his own rides and in the 1970’s started building, fabricating, painting, and customizing similar to his idols before him. He has built, customized, or assisted in the process for others dozens of cars and trucks. He has never made the fortunes or experienced the notoriety of the “big boys” but he’s never sought that out either. In fact, he was never in the “business” but rather just kept things as a simple hobby and past time. To this day, he still lives a humble and quiet life only about 10 miles from where it all started. Dan has one last custom car endeavor that has been in the works the past several years. In order to try to make that dream and project a reality and to settle a few others of life’s necessities and obligations, Dan is offering up to you his nostalgic and multi-award winning “Emerald Lady”, a 1928 modified custom Model A Ford Roadster Pickup that he started in 1992 and completed in 2003. About the Car: Body, Bed & Exterior: The all steal body derives from an original 1928 Tudor sedan pulled and hauled out of an old barn in Ravenna, Ohio in the Spring of 1992 (photo can be provided upon request). From there, the customizing and modifications began. The windshield posts were leaned back 7° degrees and the rear of the sedan body of cut off and later replaced with a custom hand-made all steal pickup bed and bottom rear pan. The bed has a removable white vinyl Tonneau cover. In the bed you where you will also find the 10 gallon spun-aluminum fuel tank. The taillights are 1939 Ford teardrops with glass lenses. The roof of the original sedan was cut off and later replaced with a custom-made removable steal top covered in white vinyl. This top can be easily removed to make the car an instant convertible but does require at least 2 people to remove the top. A small rear window was made in the top taken from a late model Lincoln Continental. The grill shell is a 1932 fiberglass unit with stainless steel inserts. The stainless steel headlights are off a 1993 Peterbilt which has built-in turn signals. Interior: The interior is done in white and aqua marine vinyl. The dash is modified from a 1932 Ford truck and has a custom gauge panel with Stewart-Warner gauges, auto meter tack, and Superior steering wheel. The bucket seats were modified from a 1980 Ford Fiesta. The dash was autographed by The Alexander Brothers, Mike and Larry Alexander during participation in an auto show held in Landcaster, OH in 2003. Larry later passed away in 2010 but his Brother Mike lives on. The first cars these guys built in the 1950’s was a Model A with a beefed up Flathead V-8 and a 1931 Model A truck known as the “grasshopper”. They certainly enjoyed Dan’s creation as well.
Radio: AM/FM Radio with cassette. Speakers mounted behind seats. Chassis: The chassis is a stock Model A frame which has been modified to be fully boxed in. American rear coil over shocks, Pete & Jake’s front shocks, Speedway Motor’s rear radius rod, Panhard Bar, split wishbone front, 1932 Ford front I-Beam axle, 4 inch stretched and dropped Mustang steering box, 1976 Ford 9 inch rear end, 3.00 gears, 10 inch rear brakes, 1940 Ford front brakes, and 1948 Ford truck master cylinder.

Ford previews updated Police Interceptor Utility for Chicago debut
Tue, Feb 3 2015With more law enforcement agencies across the United States alone than we'd care to count (or ever encounter), selling police cars means big business for American automakers, with Ford, Chevy and Dodge competing to fill the motorpools of every police department, sheriff's office and government agency in the land. For its part, Ford offers the Taurus-based Police Interceptor sedan and the Explorer-based Police Interceptor Utility, and it's preparing to unveil a revised version of the latter at the upcoming Chicago Auto Show in the same city where it's built. Dearborn hasn't given us much to go on with this teaser, showing just a darkened front shot of the vehicle in question with its emergency lighting all aglow. But it's fairly clear that the Interceptor Utility has been given many of the same updates applied recently to the Explorer on which it's based. That starts with the revised sheet metal, but considering that the Interceptor Utility exclusively packs V6 power, the 2.3-liter EcoBoost four that was one of the biggest updates to the civilian Explorer isn't likely to carry over. Ford does, however, promise that the revised Police Interceptor Utility will be "even better" than the model it replaces" and pack "more high-tech features." Related Video:
Defying Trump, major automakers finalize California emissions deal
Tue, Aug 18 2020WASHINGTON — The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and major automakers on Monday confirmed they had finalized binding agreements to cut vehicle emissions in the state, defying the Trump administration's push for weaker curbs on tailpipe pollution. The agreements with carmakers Ford Motor Co, Volkswagen AG, Honda Motor Co and BMW AG were first announced in July 2019 as voluntary measures prompting anger from U.S. President Donald Trump. A month later, the Justice Department opened an antitrust probe into the agreements. The government ended the investigation without action. The Trump administration in March finalized a rollback of U.S. vehicle emissions standards to require 1.5% annual increases in efficiency through 2026. That is far weaker than the 5% annual increases in the discarded rules adopted under President Barack Obama. The 50-page California agreements, which extend through 2026, are less onerous than the standards finalized by the Obama administration but tougher than the Trump administration standards. The automakers have also agreed to electric vehicle commitments. Volvo Cars, owned by China's Geely Holdings, said in March it planned to join the automakers agreeing to the California requirements. It has also finalized its agreement. The settlement agreements say California and automakers agreed to resolve "potential legal disputes concerning the authority of CARB" and other states that have adopted California's standards. In May, a group of 23 U.S. states led by California and some major cities, challenged the Trump vehicle emissions rule. Other major automakers like General Motors Co, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV and Toyota Motor Corp did not join the California agreement. Those companies also sided with the Trump administration in a separate lawsuit over whether the federal government can strip California of the right to set zero emission vehicle requirements. Ford said the "final agreement will reduce emissions in our vehicles at a more stringent rate, support and incentivize the production of electrified products, and create regulatory certainty." BMW said "by setting these long-term, predictable, and achievable standards, we have the regulatory certainty that is necessary for long-term planning that will not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions but ultimately benefit consumers as well."Â
Toyo Tires will bring another wild catalog of rides to SEMA
Sun, Oct 27 2019Toyo Tires carts all kinds of toys to SEMA every year, the rubber company planning another 30 or so automotive exhibits this year in two locations. One of them, the Baja 911, comes with a pedigree not usually associated with the bewildering wares hawked at the Las Vegas show. TJ Russell was once lead fabricator for Singer Vehicle Design, now he's the head of Russell Built Fabrication in Sun Valley, CA. Sticking with the marque he knows well, Russell started with a 1991 Porsche Carrera 4 cabriolet, fitted the interior with a full roll cage, then built a hardtop around it to design a desert runner channeling the old Rothmans safari 911s. Underneath that bodywork lives a box-plate trailing arm suspension with 12 inches of travel, working 15-inch Fifteen52 FIA-approved Gravel wheels and 30-inch Toyo Open Country A/T II tires. Power comes from a purpose-built 3.8-liter air-cooled flat-six with about 350 horsepower — 100 hp more than stock — in a car that weighs 400 pounds less than the original. Oh, and as documented on Instagram with the tagline "All race outside, all business inside," the interior's full of quilted, cross-stitched leather, and Toyo says Russell's going to do a low-volume run of the Baja 911 starting early next year. ruffian-ford-mustang-sema-01 View 10 Photos Chris Ashton built a 1970 Ford Mustang Fastback called the Ruffian Mustang, inspired by the Trans Am Racing Series. The exterior changes are more subtle than one might think – the chin spoiler, hood scoop, and side mirrors are barely exaggerated versions of those on the original car, the intake vents astride the front lights and the steel bumpers teleported from 1970. Changes outside include de-chromed and flush-mounted glass, vented hood, front fenders that are dropped an inch, rear fender vents, dual side-exit pipes, and gargantuan fender flares over staggered Signature One wheels and Toyo Proxes 888 tires. The interior's fitted with a roll cage and race car workings. In spite of the Boss 427 badging, the engine's a 625-hp Chevrolet LS3 V8. button-built-ferrari-355-sema-01 View 13 Photos The Button Built Ferrari BB355TT picks up from last year's stanced BB328GTS widebody that gave many Internet denizens heart attacks. Laid up on a 1999 355 Berlinetta, the BB version appends a widebody kit designed Mitchell Button, rendered by Khyzyl Saleem and drenched in Azzuro la Plata, a color from Ferrari's Scagliette palette first used on a 1967 275GTB Le Mans racer.
