1929 Ford Model A 4 Door Town Sedan on 2040-cars
Worth, Missouri, United States
1929 Model A 4 Door Town Sedan. While looking for a hot rod project, I ran across this Model A in January of 2008. The car was in a "Barn" where it had been parked since the owners passing. I purchased the car from his 88 year old Widow. Since the car was so complete I didn't have the heart to do anything but restore it. A local Model A/T enthusiast helped me get it running. I had trouble with it overheating, I had the head checked, installed a new head gasket, installed a new water pump that looks original without the need to adjust packing, still having problems, I ordered a new replacement radiator from "Snyder's"... PROBLEM SOLVED! I then proceeded to "Juice" the brakes where I ran all over the country side to swap meets finding the parts so I could maintain its original integrity. I have only made mechanical upgrades/improvements. With the exception of the wheels (which were orange) the interior and exterior is how I found the car. It is not a perfect show car, but is a fun show and parade car that I have driven (not hauled) as far as 150 miles to show or just to drive. I drove it approximately 80 miles on May 4th, 2014. It has a couple of mouse holes in the passenger front seat as shown. Paint has a few chips. It might puff a little smoke on a long hard uphill pull, All and all a pretty good old car. Young and old alike love to see and hear you drive by! Any Questions call 660-448-2708. $500.00 down payment. Buyer responsible for shipping. 85 Year Old Car AS IS.

On May-13-14 at 06:37:01 PDT, seller added the following information: Speedometer/odometer does not work. |

Jay Leno sees how the other half lives with CHP cop cars new and old
Mon, 01 Jul 2013Comedian Jay Leno is changing gears from driving fast cars to checking out some of the police cruisers that regularly chase down and dish out punishment to those fast cars. In this episode of Jay Leno's Garage, we get the lowdown on the modifications made to the Ford Explorer for the Interceptor package (which looks pretty tough in its California Highway Patrol livery).
The new Ford is cool, but cooler still are the pack of classic CHP cars that Jay has along for the episode. A 1982 Mustang, 1966 Dodge Polara, 1970 Mercury Monterey and 2000 Crown Victoria are all in the shop. Better still, Jay lays out an argument for ones of the classic cruisers as the best cop car of all time. Get your guesses in now, and then scroll down to watch and learn.
Ford invests $682 million in Edge-producing Canadian facility
Sun, 22 Sep 2013Ford announced that it's investing $682 million in its Oakville assembly plant in Ontario, Canada, to make it a global manufacturing plant, which the automaker also says secures 2,800 jobs there. Including this injection of cash, Ford has invested over $2 billion in Canada in the last decade, starting with nearly $1 billion for Oakville in 2004, and over $570 million for its Essex Engine Plant in 2010.
The move to make Oakville a global manufacturer of Ford vehicles means, "If consumers suddenly shift their buying habits, we can seamlessly change our production mix without having to idle a plant," says Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of the Americas.
Ford says that the latest investment will help it meet North American demand for the Oakville-produced Edge crossover, which is on track this year to beat 2007's US sales record of 130,000 Edges. The Ford Flex and Lincoln MKX and MKT are also manufactured at the plant.
Quitting Mexico factory helps bring down Ford earnings $200 million in 2016
Thu, Jan 26 2017Ford released its 2016 earnings report this morning, and despite a fourth quarter net loss it proved to be the automaker's second most successful year ever, following record breaking numbers in 2015. Losses for the year come from a number of sources, including accounting changes and a $200 million hit for backing out of the small-car factory in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Despite the loss, come March 9 about 56,000 UAW-represented employees will receive a $9,000 profit-sharing check. That, like most of Ford's other 2016 metrics, is slightly down from the year before, but it's still the second best profit-sharing payment ever. Total net income was $4.6 billion, down $2.8 billion from 2015. Total revenue for 2016 was $151.8 billion, up $2.2 billion. Ford's earnings report lists a global market share of 7.6 percent, down a tenth from 2015. Ford's European and Asia-Pacific markets posted their best and second best pre-tax profits respectively. The South American, Middle East, and African markets all took hits because of unstable economies and other external factors. Ford expects to have another down year in 2017 as it invests in new and emerging markets and focuses more on its mobility projects.Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
