1929 Model A Roadster Pickup Street Rod on 2040-cars
Tucson, Arizona, United States
How about a nice, dependable street rod roadster pickup that gets back to basics?!? This is an original all metal truck, (with the exception of the drivers rear fender and removable upper hood section), that is about as basic as it gets! Basic Hot Rod Black, (semi gloss enamel) paint, that you don't have to worry about chips, scuffs, bugs or dust. Just a quick wipe down, or touch up with a Sharpie when you do spot a chip! No windows, no radio, heater or any power robbing accessories! (About the only accessory on the interior of this truck is the drivers side only wiper arm, which still requires you to operate it manually, and uses no power!) This truck comes equipped with a fresh 305 V-8 Chevy engine equipped with a tri-power set up, some additional chrome goodies, an automatic transmission and a Ford 8" rear end held in place with trailing arms, adjustable Aldan coil over shocks and a panhard rod. Block hugger headers on the engine, with full exhaust back to a pair of Smitty style mufflers to tail pipes that exit out the back just below the tail gate. The frame was supplied by Speedway motors, so no problems with a rusty, repaired, who knows how many times, frame. The front end has a dropped Speedway motors front axle with hairpin radius arms, with front disc brakes, rear drums, along with a Vega manual steering gear and a tilt column. Topping the column is a Speedway motors steering wheel that connects to the iconic 'Aoogah' horn. The Spartan interior includes a compliment of gauges in the center dash, as well as a Lokar floor shifter. The interior is done in a red and white tuck and roll style as well as red carpeting and a custom floor mat made of the same material. The seat back is removable with the back of the cab being padded and upholstered so that a tall person with longer legs can comfortably sit in the cab. These older Model A's seem to have been made for somewhat shorter people in the day! But I can still get my 6'2 265 lb. body in and out of the cab and still be somewhat comfortable! But I do look forward to getting out of the cab to fill up the 7 gallon aluminum fuel tank located in the bed atop the chrome diamond plate panel which replaces the original wood bed and looks quite nice. Big and little steel, two-tone painted wheels with trim rings and baby moon center caps, and BFGoodrich tires all around. 195-60-15 tires on the front and 275-60-15 tires on the rear. I do carry a nice compact spare, with jack and handle with me when going on a run out of town! (And an extra gallon of gas in the bed just in case!) Truck has a fully removable and folding convertible top that is in excellent condition. If you're looking for a nice Model A pickup street rod to just be able to take out and have fun with, and not worry about bugs, dirt or rain this just might be the truck you have been looking for!

2015 Ford Focus Sedan is fresh-faced and ready to defend its Most Popular crown
Wed, 09 Apr 2014Ford has made an art of deeper-than-normal midlife updates since the 2010 Fusion, a strategy that has allowed it to keep models looking fresher in showrooms for longer without needing full redesigns. Instead of slight touchups to light fixtures, new paint colors and perhaps new wheel patterns, Ford has been digging deeper, with significant sheetmetal changes and very different front-end looks, along with an increased emphasis on new in-car technologies to keep models vibrant. Other automakers are following this trend, and Ford itself is continuing on the path with this new 2015 Focus Sedan.
There's a handsome new SE Sport Package that includes a firmer touring suspension, modest body kit and 17-inch wheels.
We first saw this sleek Aston Martin-like nose fitted to a Focus at the Geneva Motor Show last month, but Ford only showed the new look on the five-door hatchback - this is the first appearance of the sedan, which will bow at next week's New York Auto Show. The front end treatment is the same, with a new hood, new headlamps incorporating LED accents, a different grille shape and a completely revised lower fascia that does away with the 2014 model's controversial triangle-shaped corners and gaping intakes. The rear gets a new two-piece, laser-brazed trunk lid with new taillamps, but the overall look is quite similar to last year's car. In any case, the refreshed look brings the Focus sedan more in line with the design of Ford's other recently reworked cars, including the Fusion and Fiesta.
Ford Recalls '13 Escape For 11th Time
Fri, Aug 15 2014Only in dealer showrooms for two years now, the 2013 Ford Escape has already been recalled for safety hazards 11 times. The most recent recall for the beleaguered vehicle came Friday, when the company announced it was recalling almost 160,000 Escapes and Focus ST hatchbacks from the '13 and '14 model years because of a wiring problem that could cause the engine to stall. Caused by a faulty wiring harness, Ford said the defect could result in reduced power, hesitation or outright stalling. The company said it knew of no crashes or injuries caused by the flaw. Customers affected will be notified by mail. It was the latest problem for a vehicle beset by recalls from the moment it started rolling off the assembly lines. Starting on July 6, 2012, the '13 Escapes have been recalled for an assortment of problems, including multiple hazards with fuel lines that could result in engine fires, fluid leaks in the engine that could also result in fires, problems with engines overheating, delays in airbags deploying and more.

Which car companies are creating new jobs in America?
Fri, Sep 22 2017Since January, automakers have announced investments totaling $9.5 billion in U.S. plants, creating or retaining more than 12,000 jobs. Some of those companies have yet to announce just how many jobs will be created given their investments, with the location of many of those jobs still to be determined. Specifically, the 4,000-job Toyota-Mazda joint venture plant still hasn't announced its location, with numerous states jockeying for it. Hyundai has plans to invest $1 billion but has not announced a jobs number yet. And likewise Ford is investing $1.2 billion in Michigan without specifying a number of jobs. Volvo this week announced plans to add a second line to its factory under construction in South Carolina, spending another $500 million and adding 2,500 jobs to the 2,000 it was already trying to fill. Then Thursday, Daimler announced a $1 billion expansion to its facility in Tuscaloosa, Ala., to produce EV batteries and electric SUVs, a move that will add 600 jobs to its hiring this year. Above, we've created a handy pie chart showing you which companies have announced new jobs and how many there will be.
