See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Great older restoration, starts, runs and drives fine. Has all of the expected character that goes with an 84 yr old automobile. As seen in photos there are scratches and some water staining, minor chips and imperfections. The exterior of the engine block was welded on the left side 30+ years ago, there is a photo of the repair, it hasn't leaked since the fix. The rumble seat will need work but is all there. There are some spare parts as well. The tires are not show quality but are in good shape, hold air fine and are roadworthy. Its not perfect but at 84 yrs old its darn good."

 Wally, a long time family friend, has decided that it is time for his beloved Model A to have a new home!  This is your opportunity to own an absolute American legend.  An older but still good restoration, this car is ready for a parade, a park or a Sunday drive now and offers an absolutely perfect platform for an easy top of the show restoration when you are ready.  Wally bought the coupe in '68 from the original owner shown on the bill of sale photo.  It was that gentleman's daily driver for nearly 40 years right up to the day he sold it.  It was restored during the 70s and has been repainted in the last ten years.  This Coupe has been used in many parades by a MN state representative.  The car starts immediately, runs, drives and stops just fine.  The rubber is older but in good shape, there are no major engine or driveline leaks and it does not overheat.  Unlike many of the Model A's that are for sale this car is KNOWN TO BE ROADWORTHY and recently completed a 60 mile day trip to church and the cabin without a problem.  This is truly a car to be enjoyed and driven as it is right now.  If you have been looking for a Model A to own and drive proudly or an exceptional platform for a perfect restoration here is your chance.  The car is located approx 150 miles north of Minneapolis in the Brainerd Lakes area.  Good luck bidding everyone, there is a reserve but it is very very reasonable.  I have no doubt this car is going to sell! I will be happy to answer any questions from serious buyers but give me a little time, it is not my car so I have to ask and relay the info.  I also have a short raw video clip of the car running and driving that I would be happy to email you.  Thanks for looking everyone and Happy Bidding!!!!

Xcar shows how to drive the Ford Model T

Wed, Jan 21 2015

A couple of weeks ago Xcar posted a teaser review of the Ford Model T, a look at what the British duo would have been doing if they'd been doing their thing for 100 years. Now we have their complete, 12-minute take on the what might be, as they say, "arguably the most important car of the 20th century." Thankfully, instead of just a review, Xcar spends about half the time giving us a tour of history, from Ford's early days working for the Edison Illuminating Company to his racing days and founding of several car companies that either died or became other car companies after he left, like Cadillac. They also line up the pieces and the sales realities that led to Ford implementing – not creating, mind you – assembly-line production of the Tin Lizzie. And then they get into how crazy it is to drive, like how a driver needs two of the three pedals, the handbrake lever and a steering column stalk to get into high gear. Enjoy the video above on a 100-year-old car that is "unbelievably comfortable," "mildly terrifying" and ready to do just about anything.

Ford idling Michigan Assembly Plant to trim Focus, C-Max supply

Tue, 22 Oct 2013

Ford will be putting the brakes on production at its Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, MI, idling production during the weeks of October 28 and December 16. Ford is citing the first drop in US sales in 27 months, a 4.2-percent dip in September, as the impetus for trimming their supplies, according to Automotive News.
Ford's deft management of its supplies has been part of its success over the years, and seeing supplies of Focus and C-Max, the two vehicles built at MAP, rise from 58 and 108 days, respectively, to 71 and 122 days over the span of a month was apparently all that was need to justify the trimming. As AN points out, the rule of thumb for many automakers is to maintain a 60-day supply of vehicles.
"Ford has been focused on keeping their pricing in check. Their operating margin is in double digits. Nobody else is there and they're obviously very proud of that," Alan Baum, an auto analyst with Baum & Associates told AN. Keeping the supply chain operating smoothly and not increasing supplies too much is crucial to that healthy profit margin. After all, a large supply lowers prices ,which, in turn, cuts profit. So while this news might not be great for employees at MAP, who now have an extra two weeks of vacation time, it's far from a sign of problems in Dearborn. Quite the opposite, actually.
