Short version: Engine rebuilt 2000 miles ago. Mechanically gone through 10 yrs ago. Exterior done 5-6 years ago. Interior partially original but in poor shape.
Long version: We are selling our Dads 1929 Model A. He was 81 when he passed away last year, and it was his favorite toy to joyride around town and pass the time. Mom is moving to a smaller house, and the car needs a home. Us kids appreciate the car and the memories, but lack of places to store it and lack of time to use and enjoy the car doesn't make sense for us to keep it. So unfortunately it needs to go, and hopefully to someone who will appreciate a car like this. I want to give a history of what I know about the car. The folks acquired the car back in the late 50's on the family farm. I only remember it setting in the 'Model A garage', with the rakes and tools. It would get pulled out once a year, steal a battery out of a tractor for it, then usually end up pulling it with a tractor to get it running. We'd play with it for the day, then back in the garage, the battery back in he tractor, and not much would be seen of it again til next yr, or until the next time Dad had the urge to get it out of the shed. It was like that until the mid 80's, I was in shop class in high school, and Dad wanted me to take it in as a project, rebuild the engine and get it in better mechanical condition, so I did. The engine came out and I disassembled it. It was sent off to a machine shop out of town that could do the babbitt bearings and reconditioning of it. I reassembled it with the help of the shop teacher, and I installed it and ran it. I remember working on the ignition, brakes and such to make it a little more road worthy. I think I put in some new brake liners also. After that it went back out to the farm and back in the shed. After us kids were gone, I'm not sure it moved a whole lot, just sat in the shed. The folks moved into town in 2001, and the Model A went with them. It was at that time Dad had more time to play with his toy, which looking back was probably his intentions when he bought the car years ago, his retirement toy. I would say its 10 years ago now that he took it to a guy out of town known for restoring old cars, and had some work done on it. He went through it mechanically, repaired and/or replaced whatever needed to be done to make it more dependable on the road. He got it back to town and started driving it around, and everyone knew him in that car, driving around, honking at people he knew. About 5-6 years ago, he had it painted by a local body shop in town. If I recall, there was no rust to repair, maybe one dent in a fender, but it was a pretty solid body. The top was replaced, the pads on the running boards were replaced, and the exterior overall is in very good condition. There are a few light scratches on the hood, likely from opening/closing the covers. It sat in the garage with a cover on it all the time. There are a few spare parts in the back seat that he didn't get around to putting on, they will go with the car. For whatever reason, restoring the interior was never pursued. I guess that didn't matter to him much. Its the same interior that I've always known. From talking with others now, I believe the headliner and rear side panels are original, the door panels and the front seat materials are not. Regardless, it would need to be done if that was someones desire. As the pictures show, mice spent some time in it while on the farm. There have been no mice in it since it left the farm though, and all the wiring and such has been replaced since then, so interior damage is all that remains from the mice. There's the short story of my Dad and his Model A. Please ask any question you may have. The car is now located in Hastings, Nebraska, and can be seen by appointment. It will be available to local pick up only, I will not transport. I'll post as many pictures as I can, if you need pictures of something more specific, just ask. Thanks for looking. |

Best 3rd Row SUVs of 2024
Wed, Oct 19 2022If you plan on using a vehicle's third row a lot, let us at least make the suggestion that a minivan would be a smarter bet than anything you're going to see on this list of best three-row SUVs. Their third rows are bigger, more comfortable and easier to get to. The kids will definitely be happier. Here are our two top choices. OK, now that that's out of the way, we totally get why minivans are totally depressing and that if the kids want to be happier, they can buy their own darn vehicle. You're buying, you're driving, you're being seen in it and you'd rather have a three-row SUV. Fair enough. Luckily, there are more choices than ever and they're really good. The best do a particularly good job of being family friendly without looking like a drab transportation appliance, although really, you can't go wrong with any of the mainstream three-row SUVs. Now, some of the luxury choices are a bit suspect, including those that are otherwise very appealing but have cramped third-row seats (the Genesis GV80 comes to mind). We're focusing on three-row SUVs here, so having a usable third row is a must.  In this list, we have broken things down into four sub-categories: Best Three-Row Crossover |  Best Full-size Three-Row SUV Best Luxury Three-Row SUV |  Best Flagship Luxury Three-Row SUV Note that we define crossovers as SUVs since most buyers use the terms interchangeably, but acknowledge that "crossover" is literally a vehicle with a car-like unibody structure as opposed to the truck-like, body-on-frame construction that traditionally has defined "SUV." In other words, we consider all crossovers SUVs, but not all SUVs are crossovers (specifically those in the full-size segment and some in the flagship luxury segment). Best Three-Row Crossover SUVs of 2024 2024 Honda Pilot Why it stands out: Exceptional storage and cargo space; unique second-row functionality; refined ride; versatile and capable TrailSport; advanced AWDCould be better: Subpar acceleration with lackadaisical transmission and engine response; so-so driver assistance tech Read our full 2024 Honda Pilot Review The Honda Pilot was completely redesigned for 2023. It maintains its predecessor's family friendly packaging and overall focus, but it has injected a welcome sense of style (especially in the TrailSport pictured above) that makes it stand out much better from the big crossover crowd.
2015 Ford Edge First Drive [w/videos]
Thu, Mar 12 2015We're routinely told that it's not easy being the middle child. The oldest sibling will always outshine the rest, while the youngest is routinely doted upon. The middle child, meanwhile, is seemingly never able to measure up. You know the drill: Marcia, Marcia, Marcia! But that hasn't really been the case for Ford's mid-kid crossover, the Edge. Sandwiched between its highly successful big brother, the Explorer, and the stylish younger brother, the Escape, the Edge has had plenty of its own bragging rights over the years. It's where the Blue Oval chose to first launch MyFord Touch in 2011, and was one of the company's first applications of an EcoBoost engine in a CUV. For 2015, Ford has given the Edge a brand-new outfit, complete with stand-out sheetmetal and a revamped 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine fitted with a twin-scroll turbocharger and direct-injection. The result is a vehicle that truly stands out from its compact and fullsize siblings while promising to retain Ford's edge in the midsize CUV market. Where many of Ford's cars have opted for a slim, Aston Martin-like grille, the new Edge's face is big and bold. It's around back, however, where the Edge really comes up with its own personality. The slimmer D-pillar forms the edges of a more aggressively raked rear window. It's difficult to spot in pictures, but the result is a decidedly more assertive profile than the outgoing CUV. Beyond that, the rear is home to Fusion-inspired taillights, although unlike Ford's popular midsize sedan, they're joined together by a vehicle-spanning lighting element that prominently features a Ford badge at its center. Ford's work on the Edge's interior is less progressive, though. The owner of a 2014 model wouldn't feel the least bit out of place climbing behind the wheel of a 2015, as it features Ford's same reconfigurable instrument cluster, and a center stack that's been crowned by the latest (and final) edition of MyFord Touch. Meanwhile, more JD Power Initial Quality Study-friendly buttons have replaced the obstinate and unintuitive touch-capacitive controls. The conservative take on the interior design belies the big improvements in material quality. The leather inserts in the doors are more heavily padded and the plastics are far softer. It's a similar story throughout the cabin, where owners will notice softer dash plastics and generally richer materials.
