1930 Ford Model A Deluxe Roadster Fully Restored on 2040-cars
Sayville, New York, United States
1930 Ford Model A Deluxe Roadster. Complete nut and bolt restoration completed in 2004. The restoration was done to specifications even higher than when it was first produced, but retains a 100% factory original look. Restoration was done by a Smithtown, NY family for themselves with a long history in the restoration business. They restored the car to keep, but unfortunately illness eventually forced them to sell.
There was no expense spared when restoring this Model A. The car is all original Ford steel, no reproduction panels were used. The crankshaft was blueprinted/balanced to reduce the typical vibration when the engine's running. The water pump was machined out for bearings instead of the original bushings to prevent the typical coolant leaks plaguing all Model A's. The bearings are completely invisible from the exterior so it doesn't detract from the 100% factory original look. The top and interior are from Lebarron Bonney, the foremost authority in Model A interiors/tops. The bumpers are reproduction, but better than original in all stainless steel. The car has dual sidemounts. Since it's completion in 2004, it has logged just over 1400 miles. The car was primarily used to drive to local shows, sunday afternoon drives etc and has a great patina now. It still looks like a very fresh restoration, considering it's been 10 years since completion, but has been driven and carefully enjoyed. I have owned it for over a year and half now, but the rumble seat is getting a little tight to fit my kids in now. This car has no needs/issues and is ready for the next owner to drive and enjoy. The car runs/drives as good as it looks and I encourage you to take a look in person before the auction ends. It is located in my climate controlled garage in Sayville, NY. |

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?
Fri, May 27 2016When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Ford Focus 1.0-liter Ecoboost to only get manual trans in US
Sun, 23 Feb 2014Photos of the 2015 Ford Focus leaked earlier today, but now we're able to tell you more details of the global five-door hatchback. Bucking automaker's troubling trend of ditching manual transmissions in favor of automatics, Ford says the new 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine will come only in a six-speed manual in the US, because, well, American drivers aren't as sophisticated as our European brothers and sisters.
Ford didn't come out and say it that way, but it has found American drivers are more prone to complain about automatics in smaller-engine cars, Raj Nair, Ford's group vice president of global product development, said at a press conference last week. The recent JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study backs up Ford's claims, pointing out that drivers are complaining about rough transmission shifts, engine hesitation and lack of power, particularly in small cars. In Europe and other parts of the world, drivers seem to understand the quirks of these pint-sized engines, Nair said, so they'll have the option to buy an automatic. Ford is working on tuning its dual-clutch transmissions to make them more amenable to American driver's tastes.
Ford will show off the refreshed 2015 Focus at the Geneva Motor Show in early March. The car is due for an update, having been on sale in its current form since 2012. The automaker said it is jamming the car full of new technology - like a USB port that promises to charge your phone in half the time as a regular USB port. Features like Sync and a rear back-up camera will come standard. For a more in-depth look at the car, take a look at the full press release.
