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.

Oprah at it again, gives car away on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Sat, 17 Aug 2013

Oprah Winfrey loves giving away cars. Not only has she given Pontiac G6 sedans and Volkswagen Beetle retro-mobiles to everyone in the audience of her past show, but the other night on Jimmy Kimmel Live! she gave another car away to one lucky audience member, while yelling her now-famous line: "You get a car!"
Although the acting of Oprah and Jimmy Kimmel was obviously staged for this giveaway, the reaction from the woman in the audience was genuine shock as she found out that she had just won a new Ford Fusion Energi. Congrats!
Not to take away from what Oprah and Jimmy pulled off, but our cynical sides have to wonder if there isn't more than just a little coincidence that this giveaway took place on the same day that Ford announced a fuel economy reduction for the C-Max hybrid. You be the judge... Scroll down to watch the short clip from the episode.

Ford recalls 200K Escape, Transit Connect models over instrument panel

Thu, Jun 25 2015

Ford is announcing two new recalls that cover a total of 203,494 vehicles in North America. By far the larger of the campaigns is a recall for 203,445 examples of the 2014-2015 Escape and Transit Connect in North America. Specifically, there are 182,520 units recalled in the US, 18,226 in Canada, and 2,699 in Mexico. For these models, the instrument cluster, warning messages, lights, and chimes might not work at startup. This problem puts the vehicles out of compliance with the federal motor vehicle code, and the fix is a software update. The other recall is minuscule and only affects 49 units of the 2015 Transit that are owned by a single fleet customer. The company's vans have a specially ordered front passenger seatbelt, but the parts aren't labeled correctly under the federal code. Everything works properly, though, according to Ford. The fix is simply a new decal with the required info. No accidents or injuries are known to be related to either of these two recalls.

Mulally wanted to kill Lincoln as late as last year, Fields vows to turn it around

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

Lincoln fans might want to give incoming Ford CEO Mark Fields a pat on the back for having a hand in saving the brand from the chopping block last year. He's among the people spearheading the rejuvenation of the division away from its stodgy image to appeal to younger customers.
According to two unnamed sources speaking to Bloomberg, CEO Alan Mulally was ready to kill Lincoln last year. Following the slow production ramp-up of the MKZ combined a with a costly ad campaign, Mulally was frustrated and openly suggested dropping the brand. However, Fields and Jim Farley, Ford's marketing boss, convinced the CEO that the brand was worth saving. They also created a plan to prevent similar problems for new models in the future.
It seems that one part of the strategy may involve waiting until new models are at dealers before starting a big ad campaign for them. Lincoln global director, Matt VanDyke, recently told Autoblog that the division is holding off on a full marketing push behind the new MKC crossover to prevent the supply problems that plagued the MKZ last year. Its big offensive begins in the fall when the CUVs are at all of the dealers and consumers are at home watching more TV. VanDyke also told Bloomberg that Fields, Farley and Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of the Americas, have more direct oversight over new product launches now.
