You can't get much more traditional hot rod than this beautiful car. This car was recently purchased with the possible intent of swapping out the flathead for a J2 Olds or early SBC we have but it is simply too well done and this flathead runs so sweet that it makes no sense. We'll start with another car rather than messing with this one. Starting out with a very nice Canadian body that was chopped 5 inches a complete new floor was installed with the correct sills to match the 32 frame rails. The body is also using a heavily modified 37 truck grille, 38 Ford dash, passenger cowl vent and 1950 Buick tail lights. Inside is gorgeous rolled and pleated leather interior with lots of extra material for future modifications that might be desired. This interior was done by a well known and respected professional upholstery shop. This is one of the most well done A-V8 projects I have ever seen and one be hard pressed to find a nicer one. The frame begins with new 32 rails that are fully boxed, narrowed to fit the A body, have A crossmembers front and rear and a very nicely done center crossmember with lots of triangulation. Rear is a 9" posi with Dutchman axles and 3.70 gears on the A spring with ladder bars. Front is all chrome Superbell with Wilson Lincoln brakes using Buick aluminum drums and cowl steering. The engine in this beauty has got to be the sweetest sounding flathead you have ever heard. It is a .040 over 255 Merc ported, relieved, 1007B cam, new valves, springs, lifters, oil pump, etc. It employs Evans heads, Weiand tall intake, new Super 7 Strombergs, Bubbas' Chevrolet distributor, rebuilt starter and generator. Transmission is a rebuilt S10 T5 that works very well. This A also uses an Odyssey battery, an aluminum fuel tank and 16" Ford wheels, caps and trim rings. Also included is a painted, rewired and period correct heater that is that has already been modified to fit the firewall of this car. This gorgeous A starts, stops, runs, drives very well and a stack of receipts an inch thick is included along with one of the magazines the car has been featured in. A note of caution for the sake of full disclosure and complete honesty. The original 38 speedo in this car cannot be connected as the T5 is the electronic style and in order to connect to a cable the transmission must be removed and the tail shaft housing replaced with the mechanical speedo type. The drive gear is on the shaft however. The vintage tach in the dash will possibly need a control box to operate or revision to modern internals. Title is a clear and open PA title and the car is titled correctlyas a 1930 Ford.

2018 Ford Expedition vs other big SUVs: How it compares on paper
Fri, Nov 10 2017With our Alex Kierstein rightly impressed in his first-drive review of the new 2018 Ford Expedition, we decided to dig a little deeper into the numbers, and we came up with the spreadsheet below to highlight how the new 2018 Expedition compares on paper to its main full-size SUV competitors: the 2018 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban (and therefore the 2018 GMC Yukon), 2018 Toyota Sequoia and 2018 Nissan Armada. We also threw in the new, even bigger 2018 Chevrolet Traverse since, as you'll see, its massive dimensions should put it on the radar for anyone who needs loads of passenger and cargo space but doesn't care as much about towing. A few notes about the chart above. First, the 6.2-liter V8 that's included with the new-for-2018 Tahoe RST trim level is the standard engine on the GMC Yukon Denali. You can apply most of the Tahoe's numbers to the entire Yukon and Yukon XL lineup. Second, though we highlighted categories where the Traverse led, we also highlighted the runner-up full-size SUV, since this was ultimately about that segment. Traverse numbers are broadly applicable to the new Buick Enclave.

Mark LaNeve named head of Ford US sales and marketing
Thu, Jan 8 2015Ford continues to rework the positions of its top marketing executives as Jim Farley moves to take over the Blue Oval in Europe and Stephen Odell becomes head of global sales. The latest shift brings Mark LaNeve in as the new vice president of US marketing, sales, service and dealer relations, effective February 1. LaNeve replaces John Felice, who is retiring. Felice was with the automaker for the last 30 years and held his most recent job since November of 2013. In addition to coordinating marketing and sales, LaNeve's other duty is to build "innovative new digital communications and transforming the retail experience for customers," according to the automaker's press release announcing the change. He reports to both Odell and Joe Hinrichs, Ford's boss of the Americas. LaNeve has a long history in the auto industry. He spent a portion of his early career with Cadillac but eventually was hired as the CEO of Volvo Cars North America. He also headed up US marketing at General Motors for several years in the 2000s. Since 2012, LaNeve has been the chief operating officer at Global Ford Team, which is responsible for the company's worldwide advertising. There's an interesting challenge ahead of LaNeve in leading the Blue Oval's US marketing and sales in 2015. Ford was the bestselling auto brand here in 2014 but overall sales fell about 1.1 percent. According to Automotive News, the company's market share dropped to 14.9 percent, a one-percent reduction and the lowest level since 2008. Read below for the automaker's official announcement of LaNeve's new job. JOHN FELICE RETIRING AFTER 30 YEARS; FORD NAMES MARK LANEVE TO LEAD U.S. MARKETING, SALES AND SERVICE TEAM John Felice is retiring as vice president, U.S. Marketing, Sales and Service, after 30 years of service Mark LaNeve, named vice president, U.S. Marketing, Sales and Service and elected a Ford Motor Company officer; former chief operating officer at Global Team Ford brings nearly three decades of automotive marketing and sales experience to Ford Ford Motor Company [NYSE: F] announced today changes in its senior leadership team as it continues to deliver and accelerate the company's One Ford plan while driving for product excellence and innovation. John Felice, vice president, U.S. Marketing, Sales and Service, has elected to retire after 30 years at Ford, effective Feb. 1, 2015.
Uber hopes facilities in Detroit will help shape its autonomous future
Mon, Sep 19 2016Hot off the heels of unleashing its fleet of self-driving vehicles in Pittsburgh, PA, Uber announced plans to open a new facility in the Detroit, MI area, reports Automotive News. The new facility was announced at an event hosted by Society of Automotive Engineers in Detroit, MI. Uber's vice president of global vehicle programs Sherif Marakby revealed the news, reports Automotive News. The facility is meant to help the ride-sharing company collaborate with suppliers and automakers in the area. There's no word on where Uber will build the new facility or how big it will be, as those factors have yet to be determined. Just like Pittsburgh, PA, Detroit, MI could become another testing ground for the ride-sharing company. The latest move to open a facility in the Detroit area comes after Uber offered users in Pittsburgh the chance to ride in one of its autonomous vehicle as it looks to gain vital real-world testing. Uber is utilizing a fleet of modified Ford Fusions. Earlier this year in April, the automaker announced a partnership with Google, Lyft, Uber, and Volvo to develop autonomous cars. A new facility in Detroit would strengthen the partnership and help Uber, as well as Ford put autonomous vehicles on the road faster.
