1930 Ford Model A Chopped 5 Window Coupe with a four-inch chopped top and a rumble seat.  All the hard work has been very nicely done.  Brand new Model A boxed frame that was made for a Model A.  It has a new nine-inch Ford Rear End with new axles less center section, but has brand new coil over shocks and a four-bar rear end.  See pictures.  This car was a running, driving Henry Ford Model A in 2006.  Then the gentleman I bought it from decided to give it some updates.  He bought the brand new frame, chopped the top, did all the metal work to the car including all new floors and fire wall.  You are welcome to come see the car before the end of the sale.  I am in Des Moines, Iowa  50321.  Just give me a call at 515-250-9293.  The body on this car is very, very nice and straight as you can see in the pictures.  The top has been filled in, the doors open and close very nice.  The top needs finish welding.  The body is bolted to the frame.  I have most of the garnish moldings including windshield and frame, but they need to be chopped down.  Very nice original seat.  You can see all this in the pictures.  This car has a brand new Super Bell Speedway four-inch dropped front suspension that has eleven-inch brakes and the I-Beam has been drilled.  The four bars in the front need extended a few inches, but this front end is brand new in 2014.  It also has a 1932 Ford metal dash.  New Vega Steering box.  Really nice tires and rims to give it that nostalgia look.  This car has been mocked up only for Chevy motor and tranny that do not go with the car.  After the car is paid in full I can possibly deliver for an agreed upon price on a weekend.  As I said before I am in Des Moines, Iowa  50321.  So please give me a call any time at 515-250-9293.  Thank you.

Ford books $2.6B pretax quarterly profit

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

While its crosstown competitors at General Motors are smarting over a drastic drop in net income to $200 million in the second quarter, Ford has reason to celebrate. The Blue Oval has announced its own Q2 financial results, including a growing net income of $1.3 billion, a $78 million increase over last year. Pretax profits for the company reached $2.6 billion, up $44 million from 2013, but total revenue dropped slightly to $37.4 billion, down from $37.9 billion. Profits per share before one-time charges totaled 40 cents per share, beating Wall Street analysts' expectations of 36 cents a share.
Regionally, the Blue Oval performed strongly, as well. North America posted a record quarterly pre-tax profit of $2.4 billion, a $119 million increase. Europe also showed signs of turn around with its first profit in three years of $14 million after a loss of $306 million in Q2 2013. Ford is actually predicting profitability in the troubled region in 2015. Asia Pacific operations also performed well with $159 million in profits, up $29 million from last year. The only region where the business posted a loss was South America.
According to Automotive News, Ford also announced more precise plans about the changeover to build the aluminum-intensive 2015 F-150. In August, the Dearborn plant will shutdown for eight weeks to retool and its Kansas City plant will do the same next year.

2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid recalled over lack of roof padding

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Ford is recalling 33,021 units of its 2013 C-Max Hybrid not equipped with optional panoramic roof panels. During testing, the model in question returned testing results for occupant head injuries that fell outside of criteria laid out in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The issue puts occupants at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash if they are in an affected car.
The recall will begin August 19, at which time C-Max Hybrid owners can take their cars to dealers to have energy-absorbent material installed between the headliner and roof. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.

Ford patents a multi-touch version of its classic keypad

Fri, Sep 9 2016

For decades, Ford has offered a keypad on the doors of their cars that would allow owners access with the right code. Amazingly, the keypad has survived almost unchanged except for a recent touch button version. A new patent from the Blue Oval shows the keypad may get a big upgrade soon. The first big change is that it looks like the keypad may move to the key fob. Although it might be possible to have it on the car itself as well, the patent only seems to focus on the key fob. In addition, the fob will now be a multi-touch pad similar to that of modern smartphones. This will allow for more diverse code entries, according to the patent's description. Instead of just a simple number code, owners could enter a code that involves swipes and keystrokes, and even simultaneous keystrokes. For instance, you could enter a code that requires swiping from 1 to 3, followed by holding 2 and 4 to unlock the car. The patent also seems to indicate that this keypad would then display unlock functions and other functions on the fob after the correct code is entered, thus making it more than just a way to unlock the car. As for the practical implications of this keypad system update, it could provide an added layer of security. If someone steals your keys, they would have to also know your access code to get into the car. Whether this would also help make the key and car harder to hack would remain to be seen, though. Another possible benefit could be the prevention of accidental lock and alarm button presses, although that likely isn't a common issue. There could be potential downsides as well. If used as an extra layer of security, the legitimate owner would have to punch in their code on the fob to get in, which would render proximity key benefits relatively useless. Moving the keypad to the fob would also mean owners couldn't get into their cars without having the key with them. We don't have any clues as to when this could become a feature, but it doesn't seem like it would be difficult to implement, so it could show up in the next few years.
