1930 Ford Model A Coupe, California Car, Solid, Virtually Rust Free on 2040-cars
Blooming Prairie, Minnesota, United States
Up for auction is a very solid running, driving Model A Coupe fresh from sunny and dry California and ready for any purpose you might want it for. I bought this car from a fellow who bought it in Bellflower, CA in 1963 and who has owned it ever since. Two years ago he moved to Kansas City, MO to be closer to his daughter and brought the car along and put it in a mini-storage complex. He has reached the point now where he is going to "officially" retire in Arizona and decided to sell his trusty old coupe. In my opinion the car looks just as it should. It is pretty much all original with a real nice non-original interior that looks to have been installed long ago, but still is in nice shape. It fires up, runs, steers, and brakes as it should. It could use new tires, but they are fine for a town cruiser. It has after market brake drum cooling fins which were a pretty cool oil accessory from back in the day. Going over the car with a magnet and visual observation the only rust I could find was in the very front of the reveal on the passenger door, and a bit on the lower front cowl. (see pictures) The floor pans, trunk pans and frame are excellent. It looks to have had all new side glass installed at some point, but the windshield looks original and has some fogging along the bottom. The main body portion is pretty nice and straight with a few bumps and bruises but all and all pretty nice. The fender for the most part look presentable but have some repairs in the beads. They are totally workable. The radiator and grille surround are nice, along with the headlights which have sealed beam conversions. I have the original "pink slip" title from California in hand. That's about all I can think of. If you think of anything else I can be reached at 507-456-2957. If you are looking for a nice, honest, solid Model A here you go. Good Luck Bidding! |

Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost sales robust in early going
Tue, 13 May 2014Okay, okay, okay, so I was just a smidge wrong. Those that read my review of the Ford Fiesta with the new 1.0-liter, EcoBoost engine will know that while I really enjoyed the torquey little three-cylinder, I was concerned that Ford's decision to force 1.0-liter owners into a manual transmission, steel wheels and one trim level might hurt sales of the new engine. I was also concerned that the promised 45-mile-per-gallon highway rating wouldn't be enough to tempt buyers into trying an engine that's so far outside of what the general public is use to. My concerns, though, seem to have been for naught.
While not doing a booming business on the triple-equipped Fiesta, Ford is seeing a take rate of four to eight percent per month in the engine's first few months on sale. Now, four to eight percent might not sound like a lot - if, like last year, the Fiesta sells around 71,000 units, there'd be barely 5,600 1.0-liter models on the road. It is also small potatoes relative to the take rate on EcoBoost-equipped vehicles across the Ford range, which US sales analyst Erich Merkle estimates to be roughly 35 to 40 percent of retail sales. Still, according to The Detroit News, the 1.0-liter is getting adopted at roughly the same rate as the sparkling Fiesta ST, which should be a solid indication of just how well this little engine is doing.
The 1.0-liter's success "really speaks volumes, not just to what we're doing with the Fiesta, but with EcoBoost in general," Merkle told Autoblog.
