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!!!!

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.

Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.

Introducing the 1965 Ford Mustang

Sat, 24 Aug 2013

Put on your space suits and diving bell helmets, for it's time to step into a time capsule. The 50th anniversary of a historic model, like, say, the Porsche 911 this year, is certain to bring flights of nostalgia. This historical trip with the 1965 Mustang, though - preliminary hype for next year's anniversary, we know - is a swell museum exhibit for anyone who enjoys bygone days of the automobile.
Lee Iaccoca gave a speech to motoring journalists on April 1, 1964 at the New York World's Fair to introduce a sporty car for younger drivers. His opening line: "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to one of the proudest moments of our lives." The company was so excited by what it had made that the Mustang was Ford's first "International Press Introduction," being introduced to some 2,000 journos around the world on the same day in the US and 11 European cities. Even through its difficult points, no one at the time could have known how well the Mustang would acquit that pride.
After the intro, the press drove Mustangs 750 miles from New York to Dearborn, MI, reading press kits that touted features like the "vertical, three-sectional taillights/turn signals," "170" six-cylinder engine with 101 horsepower and the available Cruise-O-Matic transmission.
