Up for bid is a beautiful 1930 Ford Model A Deluxe Roadster with only 24,237 Miles from new. This car was in a Ford Showroom for over 22 years on display as a beautiful original example and then about eight years ago I meet the father & son who had owned it all those years and had done a complete body off ground up show restoration and sell the car. A friend of mine always wanted a beautiful roadster so we flipped a coin and he purchased the car. Fast forward he called me last year and I purchased his collection with this roadster. In the years he had the car he put less than a thousand miles on the car. This car was all done to its original colors of Stone Brown with deep stone gray belt moldings with Tacoma Cream Wheels and pin stripe. There are only a couple of small spots where the paint has some bubble areas near the belt edges but nothing I would touch nor takes away from the high gloss super paint on this lovely car. I have to also say that this roadster being a low mileage example has the most beautiful body I have ever seen on any Roadster. It is strait as an arrow with a beautiful fit and contours to the doors and rumble lid. This car as you see also has the dual side mounts, stone guard, moto-meter with wings, and original leather trunk with a fitted canvas cover to match the top and a complete set of side curtains with the proper boot all never used. This car also has an optional oil pressure gauge and an original Manifold heater that was a dealer installed item when the car was purchased and has been with the car since leaving the show room. A leak-less water pump as also been installed and the car has the original crank. The leather is stunning on this car as well far better than most with a lot of money spent and the car retains the original correct chrome wiper motor as well. The car rides beautiful on the correct shocks and also shifts smooth and quiet as a low mileage car should. You have white wall tires on all six wheels and are as new. Another thing I must mention is the factory extended bumper where it extends outward beyond the trunk rather than inward. This can be used either way if so desired. The entire car inside, outside and underside are just beautiful and if you want a great Deluxe Roadster don’t let this one go. This car is priced fair for its condition to sell at less than $ 30,000 and not crazy like some that are so-so cars. A lot of value here for the money. Best of luck.

If you want to see a Ford racing prototype, you need look no further than the United SportsCar Championship, where the Blue Oval fields two Daytona Prototypes powered by an EcoBoost-branded 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6. But according to the latest rumors, that may not be enough for Ford, which has as much brand to promote overseas as it does back home. That could be why Racer magazine is reporting that Ford may be poised to return to Le Mans in the coming years. As we all know, Ford competed at Le Mans in the mid-through-late '60s, bringing home four consecutive overall wins with the legendary GT40. The new program would not, according to Racer, seek to relive those glory days, but would instead compete for class wins in the LMP2 category. Currently, LMP2 regulations are somewhat split between the United SportsCar Championship in North America on the one hand and ACO-sanctioned series like the European Le Mans Series, Asian Le Mans Series and FIA World Endurance Championship on the other, but plans are underway for the regulations to be unified in time for the 2017 season. That could be when Ford is targeting its return, allowing it to compete on both sides of the Atlantic to maximize its exposure.
Just last month, Ford announced its first-ever non-pursuit-rated version of the Police Interceptor sedan for agencies looking to maximize fuel economy, but that doesn't mean that Ford is giving up on chasing down the bad guys. While the Dodge Charger can lay claim to the fastest lap time at the Grattan Raceway test facility held by the Michigan State Police, the results are now in for the Police Vehicle Evaluation acceleration tests. And Ford's Police Interceptor duo (sedan and utility) came out on top. In the acceleration tests, Ford says that the Taurus-based PI Sedan with the newly available 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 was the quickest among prospective police cars in both 0-60 and 0-100 mile per hour times. The sedan posted a 0-60 time of 5.66 seconds with all-wheel drive and 5.71 seconds with front-wheel drive, besting V8-powered competitors like the Chevy Caprice and Dodge Charger by more than 0.3 seconds. These rivals close the gap on the AWD sedan in the 0-100 test with the Ford taking 13.5 seconds compared to the Chevy's time of 14.35 and the Dodge's time of 14.7. As for utility vehicles, the Explorer-based PI Utility, which accounts for 60 percent of Ford's police vehicle sales, essentially went head-to-head with the V8-powered Chevy Tahoe with similar results. Equipped with the new EcoBoost engine option, this big SUV hit 60 mph in just 6.28 seconds and 100 mph in 15.51 seconds compared to times of 8.22 seconds and 21.95 seconds, respectively, for the Tahoe. Other important tests in the PVE include braking and top speed, but while no automakers have stepped up to boast about their numbers in either of these categories, Ford's images show that the V8 Caprice had the highest top speed of the cars at 155 mph while the Tahoe's 139-mph speed made it the fastest utility vehicle.
Formula One World Champions Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansell haven't been on good terms since the 1986 season, when Piquet joined Mansell at the Williams team and Piquet spent the year privately fuming about not being granted the status of number one driver. Things only got worse from there - even though Piquet won the title the following year with Williams, still partnered with Mansell, the fuming was a lot less private. They're back together after a 25-year silence, in the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil to drive the new Ford Fusion. Called "Fusion Grand Prix," both men get the new Ford sedan, prepped to their liking - but still street legal, we assume - for a race to decide... well, who is faster behind the wheel of a Fusion. There will be four episodes, with the first two having already aired. The third episode comes on January 29 and the race happens February 5. You'll find two video episodes and a press release below, but note - because it's a campaign for Ford Brazil, Piquet's dialogue in the vids isn't translated, so hit the Closed Captioning button to hear his side of the smack talking.
