This is a great car to restore.  The sheet metal is great -but  it has been sand blasted in the past and not primed.  As a result, it is covered with surface rust.

Some comments:

---Title - a clear Minnesota title.

---Front fenders - great - no weld, no breaks, no rust thru, and I found no dents.

---Rear fenders - very nice, no weld, no breaks, I found no dents,  but there is some rust holes ins the area where the fender attaches to the body, right above the running board splash aprons.  I believe these can be easily covered and

        hidden.

---Hood - also very nice - no weld, no breaks, no dents,  all surfaces look straight.

---Doors - nice - no dents, no holes in the bottoms  -- applies to both doors.

---Cowl - very nice, no rust out,  no weld, , solid - two holes drilled cleanly  thru on both sides.  Looks like there may have been an aerial attached at one time.

---Running Board splash aprons. - again, very nice - no weld, no rust out, I found no dents.

---Windshield frame - solid, no weld, no bends, no rust out on the bottom,

---Gas tank - nice - solid, no rust out, no dents that I could see, no weld.

---Body - some rust out on the lower part of the rear panel, near where the spare tire hanger sits - it is largely hidden by this bracket. 

              Otherwise, both side panels, the back panel, the two roof panels appear dent free, no weld, no holes

---Body parts behind rear wheels - there are frequently rust outs in these areas.  On this car, I found none.

---Radiator cover - would be okay for a driver, but not for a show car, as there is significant rust.  Recommend a replacement.

---Splash apron under radiator - pained, looks okay, no rust out or weld.

---Firewall - significant hole - could be where someone had a manifold heater.  Needs a piece of metal welded, or bolted, in.

---Running boards -solid - will need new rubber covering, and new edge strips.

---Glass - all glass is present and looks ok.   The windshield is some imperfections, and should be replaced for safety reasons alone as  original Model A glass is very dangerous.

              On all the other glass, I personally replaced all of it on the Tudor I restored because of safety reasons, but you make your own decision.

---Interior trim -  looks like most, if not all, of the window trim is present.   Only a couple of door and window handles present for the outside of the car.

---Dash rail - present, surface rust, but no extra holes. - very use able.

---Speedometer, amp meter, ignition cable, key - not present.

----Windshield wiper - vacuum wiper is present.

---Wood - is surprisingly solid - some/most of it may be useable, but the roof bows, one is warped.

----Seats - two front seats, and one rear seat is included.  - The wood frames may be useable.

----Radiator - looks good, may be an original ( I'm not sure) but no serious gouges on it.

--- Motor - is stuck

---Generator, starter, carb, distributor, tranny, rear end, all are present, but need rebuilding.

---Horn - no horn present

---Tires - shot, all need replacing.

---Chassis - complete but rusted,  needs sandblasting.

----Shocks - 4 shock bodies (stuck) and a couple of arms.

---Headlights - nice lenses, but the buckets may, or may not, be useable. I've seen worse, and I've seen better.

---Tail light - should be replaced

---Rear bumper bracket is broken, but there is a replacement bracket that goes with the car.

    This would be an excellent car to restore.  The chassis and motor should be all gone thru but the sheet metal is unbelieveably nice, for original items.

     Typically, you would have to replace all 4 fenders and the hood, at a cost of $1500 +, but here there is no reed to replace them ( in my opinion)

            Use the buy-it-now, or bid high, and get a good restoration project.

Ford to add Android Auto and CarPlay to 2016 SYNC 3 cars via update

Fri, May 19 2017

Ford is updating a large number of 2016 model year cars equipped with SYNC 3 infotainment software, adding Android Auto and CarPlay to the vehicles with a free, over-the-air update via Wi-Fi, or using either USB or going through their dealer. The upgrade will be available for around 800,000 vehicles in total, giving a huge number of Ford car owners the chance to get big infotainment improvements without having to buy a newer model car. The OTA update option is also a big step for Ford – it's the company's first for software ever, and it's one of the major reasons that Ford recently hired around 400 new mobile smartphone engineers, the company tells me. For CarPlay, users will still also need to upgrade their vehicle's USB hub to make this work (which will also incur a dealer visit and a cost), but for those on Android, all that's required is a simple software installation. The USB install method is also faster, but the Wi-Fi update option is the start of the company's efforts to really increase its OTA update program, which will be used for security improvements as well as infotainment bumps. Even with a dealer visit and hardware upgrade for CarPlay, this sounds like a worthwhile thing for 2016 vehicle owners to do. CarPlay and Android Auto are huge upgrades vs. most in-car software, offering navigation and entertainment options that follow you from your phone to your car. Retroactively offering this kind of thing to car owners is a definite change in tone for carmakers, since they typically use these kinds of things as incentives to get people interested in vehicle model updates. But as data becomes increasingly important to automakers as a business, it makes sense to encourage greater in-car use of devices.Written by Darrell Etherington for TechCrunchRelated Video: Auto News Ford Lincoln Technology Infotainment android

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford HQ gets giant solar array, Chevy City Express gets 24 MPG city

Sat, Aug 16 2014

Ford will be building Michigan's largest solar array at its Dearborn headquarters. With funding from DTE Energy, the solar carport will provide covered parking, as well 30 charging stations for electric vehicles. The array is expected to generate 1.13 million kWh per year for Ford's operations, and offset 794 metric tons of carbon emissions. Read more in the press release below. Chevrolet announced the fuel economy for the 2015 City Express, at 25 mpg combined. The cargo van is rated at 24 mpg in the city, and 26 mpg on the highway. Chevy credits the van's inline four-cylinder engine and continuously variable transmission for its impressive city mileage. For its customers - which are mainly businesses - "The fuel economy of the City Express will help stretch their dollar at the pump and give them the flexibility to invest the savings back into their business," says Chevrolet's Ed Peper. The City Express starts at $22,950. Read more in the press release below. Engineers at the University of Wisconsin have developed an efficient engine that runs on a diesel-gas blend. The engine, which uses a computer to control the blend proportions, is about 15 percent more efficient than the any diesel engine according to mechanical engineering professor Rolf Reitz. The team has put the experimental reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) engine in a demonstration car - a 2009 Saturn. "This vehicle can do 50 miles per gallon," says Reitz, who believes the system could be improved further. Read more at Wisconsin Public Radio. The Southeast Alternative Fuel Conference and Expo will take place in October in Raleigh, North Carolina. Held at the NC Clean Energy Technology Center from October 22-24, the event will feature a variety of exhibitors, speakers and, most importantly, alternatively powered vehicles. "The three day conference will be a one-stop shop for fleet and transportation related decision makers to learn about return on investment, efficiency and alternative transportation fuels such as biodiesel, electricity, ethanol, propane and natural gas," says Anne Tazewell of the NC Clean Energy Technology Center. If you can't make it to Raleigh for the Expo, you can still enter to win a free two-year lease of a Nissan Leaf at the Center's website. Learn more about the event in the press release, below.

Check out Ford's fully automated self-parking car [w/video]

Wed, 09 Oct 2013

As automakers continue to find uses for autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicle technology, Ford of Europe has announced that it is developing a self-parking system for future use. More advanced than the Active Park Assist already offered in many Ford products, the new Fully Assisted Parking Aid can take full control of the vehicle and can navigate angled and perpendicular parking spots.
While today's Active Park Assist can only parallel park with the driver controlling the gas, brake and gear selection, Fully Assisted Parking Aid can operate steering, gas, brake and gear selection all while making sure the car is properly parked in the intended space. As with APA, the driver pushes a button to make the car look for a proper spot (at speeds of up to 18 miles per hour), and when an adequate space is located, the operator pushes another button (either inside the car or outside via remote control) for the car to park itself - the button must be pressed throughout the whole parking maneuver. Even though Ford says that the car can effect gear selections on its own, the system must still start from Neutral, and the automaker isn't saying whether the car can put itself into Park when done or put itself in Drive when the operator is ready to go.
Ford is also taking the opportunity to announce its new Obstacle Avoidance technology. This automated system is able to detect objects - including pedestrians - in the road, warn drivers of said objects and, if needed, stop and steer automatically to avoid hitting the obstacle. Both systems are still in the prototype phase, so there is no word as to when we could see either on a production vehicle.
