Hi, I’m selling my fully restored 1929 Model A Ford because
it is time to downsize. This car was my
late wife’s favorite (she named it Harrison Ford) and she often drove it in
parades and for Sunday drives. I bought it in 2000 for $6000 and over the next
six years spent $71,000 having it restored by a professional (paperwork
included in sale). I wanted a dependable
driving car. First the car was stripped to the frame and the frame
straightened and trued, then the following were replaced: the fenders,
headlights, correct cloth covered wiring (with a fuse added for protection),
headlight bar, radiator, radiator shell, radiator rock protector, running
boards, roof, roof oak supports, bumpers, tail lights (another light added to
rear fender), safety windshield and door glass, upholstery (leBaron Bonney), new
wood floor, hot water fed heater installed, new instruments, new steering
wheel, new shocks, new brakes, new heavy, duty cast-iron brake drums, brake
floaters, tires, tubes, wheels, lug nuts, transmission rebuilt with
synchronized second and third gears, rear end rebuilt with higher gearing,
hood, gas tank cleaned and resealed, Weber downdraft carburetor, new headers,
new exhaust, electric fuel pump, new fan, fuel filter, leak-less water pump,
new alternator, battery, headlamp bulbs are halogen, electronic ignition,
engine (1930) rebuilt by previous owner but I had the restoration mechanic tear
it down to check it, steering pitman arm shortened, added noise suppression
installed, plate underneath the car to keep the passenger’s legs from feeling
exhaust heat, new steering gear (so my wife could easily steer it), turn
signals added, tachometer, oil pressure, water temperature gauges added,
battery cutoff switch installed. I left
it a six-volt system but it could easily be changed over to 12-volts, new windshield
wiper (electric). The car was painted to match original paint and the pin
stripping was done by hand. I guess it is easier to say that just about the
only thing on this car that is original to 1929 is the metal body. The insurance company told me that it could
be classified as a hot rod. It starts easily,
and runs well. It will easily go faster
than 60 but with the large wheels and high center of gravity I keep it at 50 to
55. It will stop quickly and could be a daily driver. I think you could drive this car for long
distances if you wanted. It doesn’t overheat in a hot July parade. The doors
close perfectly and it has door locks. It
has seatbelts, wind wings. Well, there’s not much more I could have done to it
except switch it over to a 12-volt system. It does have some minor paint chips and flaws because I live
on a ranch a mile and a half from a blacktop road. It is kept in a heated garage and never
driven if there is a cloud in the sky. I have a logbook with it. It looks like a stock, beautiful, 1929 car
but it is dependable and basically trouble free. A leather-covered trunk comes with it and the
little American flags so you can drive it in the July 4th parade – I
always do. If you are looking for a car that you can spend many happy hours
beating out dents in the fenders or if you like rewrapping the water pump with
string on the way to Sunday lunch while your wife gives you the “ray”, or you
enjoy the smell of gas dripping from a 1929 carburetor, then this car is NOT
for you. I will be happy to answer any
questions. I could deliver it for expenses
within 500 miles or so of Hysham, Montana.
I have put 3430 miles on it since its restoration was completed in 2006.
You can call me at 406-679-1016. I am not interested in trades. |

Mulally will stay close to Ford after he steps down, plans to advise Fields [w/video]
Fri, 27 Jun 2014Ford CEO Alan Mulally has less than a week left in his role of leading the Blue Oval before he hands off duties to Mark Fields on July 1. It doesn't look like Mulally is going to be shuffling off into his retirement anytime soon, though. The 68-year-old is being rather secretive about his next move, but he tells Bloomberg in a recent interview that he plans to stay close to Ford. Also, if Fields wants to ask for any advice, Mulally is happy to help.
Mulally took over at Ford in 2006 and led the company through a seriously rough patch in the auto industry. According to Bloomberg, he became famous or his Thursday meetings where executives were forced to deal with any problems before they could leave. Since announcing his retirement from Ford in May, Mulally has been insuring a smooth transition of power by traveling the world to all of company's major locations and saying goodbye to employees and dealers.
In terms of the future at Ford, Mulally doesn't predict any big changes in management style because the rest of the executive team is staying in place. He believes that Fields is going to maintain the processes already in place to keep things going. After all, it seems to be working. The company is predicting a return to profitability in Europe next year and is opening 88 new dealers in China. If the business could get its recalls under control, things could get even better.
A tribute to William Clay Ford
Tue, 11 Mar 2014The passing of William Clay Ford has been a big event for the company he spent most of his life helping run. Ford spent 57 years working for his family's company. Considering the Blue Oval has been around for over 100 years, WCF's passing is the end of an era for the Dearborn-based manufacturer.
Ford's YouTube channel has issued a short memorial video highlighting the life of the longest-lived grandson of company founder Henry Ford. It follows William Clay from his time as a boy, showing him alongside his grandfather, through his younger years, and into his twilight, as the patriarch of the Ford family.
Take a look below for this touching memorial video on William Clay Ford.
