1929 Ford Model A Truck, Rare Factory Dually, Farm Truck, Must See on 2040-cars
Mobile, Alabama, United States
You won't believe this truck! Rare 1 ton dually! Bought at Mecum Auction in 2013 so I did not restore it. However, I will be glad to tell you what I see and have found out. Serial # on the engine appears to be a match to the VIN # so I have a strong hunch this is the original motor. I took pictures of the serial # on the motor and firewall. You can see some of the last digits clearly match the VIN #. She starts the first time, almost every time. Has a starter advance and throttle on the steering wheel. The only add on that appears not to be original on the dash was a key that had been added to turn the battery on and off. I had to have an old guy show me how to treat her and start her. Once I mastered what she likes, she fires up for me the first time, every time. We start and run her once a week. I have always kept her in the garage and that appears to be where she has spent most of her life before me. I am currently burning marine fuel with octane boost in it. Interior is in great condition. The seats and doors are done in a black woven material. Carpet is new and appears to be an insert. Windows and front windshield let down and out. Horn blows. Lights come on. Still kept the original 6 volt system. Wheels are so cool! Seem to have a flat spot on them from sitting in the showroom because the ride is a little rough. Never drove her enough to have a problem with that. I mainly bought it as a prop for my business and then we decided to go a different direction with our advertising. Truck runs great! The little history we could find said the old girl sat in a showroom of a Ford/Lincoln dealership in Oklahoma City before it went to auction. It appears from the shape she is in, she was there for a long time because of lack of rust. There are a few surface scratches but that's about it. She got a scratch in her paint on the left front fender when it was transported to me in Mobile, Alabama. No dent, just had the paint scuffed. Wanted to point that out. Bed appears to be made of stained, 2X4 and 2X6 pine boards. Great condition. Never hauled anything so I can't speak to function but it is very sturdy. Cab roof also appears to be wooden, covered in vinyl. Since I bought it after this was installed, this is just what I see. Floorboard is also wooden. From what I have learned after owning this vehicle, wood was used routinely. This truck is such a solid old truck that I really wouldn't have a problem selling it to my own family if they had a need for her. Hate to part with her but I am moving and will no longer have the great garage to store her. It's kind of like parting with family. See and hear how she runs in the following YouTube video we shot this morning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUxnHsRWdeU Of course this vehicle is sold, as is, where is with all defects and faults. No warranty expressed or implied. |

James Franco and tiger tease Ford Super Bowl commercial
Sat, 01 Feb 2014Ford has just released a teaser for its Super Bowl ad, and unlike just about every other automaker, it seems that the Blue Oval is going to make us wait until Sunday to see the full spot. The teaser is, um, strange.
It stars James Franco, who believes he is Ron Riggle, the comedian, Fox NFL Sunday host and retired Marine lieutenant colonel. There's also a tiger. The vague spot has Franco claiming that "this is no ordinary commercial." You'll note on the bottom right, there's a Ford logo and the hashtag #nearlydouble.
According to Automotive News, it's part of a massive viral effort being pushed forward by Ford and its dealerships. Ford sent different teasers and "vignettes" to dealership employees and asked them to share them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, in the hopes of creating a viral effect.

70% of pickups could use aluminum by 2025
Wed, 11 Jun 2014In the next decade, the auto industry will see an explosion in its use of aluminum to cut weight and increase fuel economy, according to a study from market analysts Ducker Worldwide cited by The Detroit News. We are already seeing the lightweight metal show up extensively in luxury models from Europe, but with the impending launch of aluminum-intensive 2015 Ford F-150 (pictured above), North America is using it even more, as well. The report predicts 70 percent of US pickups to have aluminum bodies by 2025.
It won't just be pickups that see the benefit, though. The average amount of aluminum in US vehicles is forecasted by the study to grow from an average of 350 pounds in 2013 to about 550 pounds by 2025. The most common parts to use it will be hoods, doors and - to some extent - roofs, as well.
The massive increase in pickups' aluminum content hardly seems surprising. The F-150 is predicted to use so much that it might cause a short-term shortage, according to one earlier report. At the same time General Motors is heavily rumored to be negotiating with suppliers for the next generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. Ram is the last holdout of the Big Three, but the study predicts that not to last.
