This Model A, or Delilah as my kids call her, has been lovingly garage kept since we purchased her six or seven years ago. In that time we wired her correctly so she runs.  We were, most recently, in the process of adjusting the brakes when the decision was made to send her to a new home. 

Delilah is a great start for anyone wanting to finish a restoration or build a hot rod.  The firewall that was installed was to match the original four cylinder engine and has a new set of keys/ignition.  The doors need some adjusting to shut smoothly and the shocks need to be hooked up.  We added a glass bowl filter on the firewall and new fuel plumbing to the carb.The gas tank has been cleaned and filled with gas... no leaks anywhere as long as you keep the new shut off valves in the right position.  Gravity fed fuel was a new learn for us.  The tires have new tubes in them from and the 21 inch rims have been sanded as we were prepping for a paint job.

The body is solid with a couple of spots on the back around the spare tire.  Delilah is a 6 volt system and light bulbs will need to be purchased.  We have installed new throttle/choke rods from the steering wheel.  She comes with disconnected front bumper and cab visor.  The rear glass and front glass are perfect with the drivers and passengers window mechanisms needing attention. With that said she has been in garage for the past seven years and before that she was stored in a barn in Montana, as we are technically the second owner as we bought it from the grandson of the original owner upon his death.  The roof lining, both inside and out is solid and the door panels are not original to the car but have been done up to match the roof liner.


Thank you for looking at our car and we hope that the next person will get Delilah out on the road as we have been unable to.  Good luck and happy bidding.  The starting bid is the reserve so high bid takes her home. This car is not on sale locally as I hate dealing with that scenario when I buy.

Mustang parts under the new Lincoln Aviator mean good things for Ford

Wed, Mar 28 2018

NEW YORK — As we mentioned last night, underneath the new Lincoln Aviator "concept" there appears to be an independent rear suspension lifted right from the Ford Mustang parts bin. And while it's pretty cool on its face that Mustang rear-drive platform bits are being reused in the broader Ford universe, what this means for the next Explorer could be really cool. A quick caveat: The Aviator here in New York is very close to the production version, but it's not technically a production car. It looks hand-built, with temporary exhaust and some show-car touches. The suspension underneath looks exactly like a Mustang's, but the actual production Aviator will almost certainly use beefier components with the same basic design and geometry, since the Aviator will be much heavier than the smaller Mustang. That being said, we're fairly confident that even at this early stage, the Mustang-derived suspension seen in New York is a preview of what'll be under the production Aviator. Furthermore, Ford won't say it, but based on what we're seeing on Aviator, it's a safe bet that Ford will utilize the Aviator platform for the next Explorer. That would enable the economies of scale necessary to produce a brand new rear-drive-based SUV platform in the first place. It also means that the Explorer should be available without AWD — and given the stable of powerful EcoBoost engines, and the competent 10-speed automatic in the parts bin, a rear-drive Explorer has a shot at being a decent driver. Aviator wouldn't go rear-drive-based if driving dynamics weren't important; Explorer should inherit these priorities. More evidence: The Explorer spy shots we saw back in February sure share the Aviator's general proportions. Even back then, before Aviator was revealed, we were hypothesizing that an EcoBoost 3.5-liter-powered version could boast as much as 400 horsepower, if the Expedition's tune were adopted. Suddenly, the Explorer seems very interesting. So, an EcoBoost, rear-drive Explorer sure sounds like something Ford Performance would be interested in, right? We knew an Explorer ST is coming, but with 365-400 horsepower potential and a chassis designed with dynamics in mind, it doesn't seem like as much of a stretch as the Edge ST. And a performance-oriented AWD system is a possibility, too. That's an area where Ford has been gathering experience at a rapid pace. What do we not expect from a new Explorer? A V8.

Ford bringing production F-150 to Detroit with Atlas styling and Alcoa blast shields

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

According to a report in Bloomberg, the 2015 Ford F-150 will indeed be showing up at the Detroit Auto Show next month. It will bring attitude with it, not only in the form of sheetmetal inspired by the Atlas concept (pictured) that appeared at the 2013 Detroit show but also in the Alcoa military blast shields among the display being used to showcase the ruggedness of aluminum.
There's been a lot of talk about the F-150 switching to aluminum body panels (although maintaining a steel frame), and for good reason. The lightweight body is expected to shed more than 700 pounds and greatly increase its highway mileage, but production-line issues and possible delays have been a major focus of attention concerning the best-selling vehicle in America for 32 years, meaning Ford has to get it right. F-150 is responsible for a massive portion of the company's global profits and it will come in a year when company profits are already predicted to decline because of new car launches.
When it comes to dings, the Bloomberg story says Ford wants Alcoa to supply some of the military-grade aluminum it uses for blast shields on battlefield vehicles to help it talk up the toughness of aluminum. Reading commentary on the many stories about the F-150 reveals there are many more little questions about the aluminum overhaul, like "How much will it cost to repair and insure?" and "How will companies hang their magnetic signs?" Answers should start coming in a couple of weeks.
